To oil pump or not to oil pump?
That is the question.
I have read a lot here on the subject and cant seem to find an answer.
I am doing a rebuilt 1.8(M-tuned rods, ARP head studs, MLS gasket) going in a 90 track car that is light. Torsen rear end, and four transmissions in the wings.... I am going for:
Goal 250(first)~300whp on a 2860rs or BW 6258 efr(haven't decided yet).
Do I need a fancy oil pump?
Where is the line where I need to start letting this bug me?

I trailer the car to events and it isnt a daily driver.
If it is a 300hp mod I am a few years off, if it is a 250hp deal I have to do it tomorrow.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I may skip it for now, and keep the boost and the RPMs down.
Bond, using your logic I could add a lot of other parts to the build as well to try to make it bulletproof, but unfortunately I am doing this on a tight budget. Most likely the motor would come out in the future and get some other choice parts(pistons, main studs, and a oil pump) before I head anywhere north of the 250~275whp range anyways. Baby steps.
