-6 Oil Pump Suggestions, For racing Options

[Jetsetsurfshop]

I've been get some parts together to start assembly of my 2.7 7R case engine and the oil pump needs to be bought.
The stock one looks ok and may work perfectly fine. I just don't want a problem both oiling and have to split the case to swap pumps.(or damage expense stuff)
The local Porsche dealer said the replacement pump is the 911-107-008-05. Some limited reading I can find on the web says that later pumps will fit too.
Any pros and cons that anyone is aware of doing the later pumps?
Thanks id advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I've spoken briefly on this topic with a local guru. Can't remember exactly what he recommended, but as I recall it's a variation of a 3.2 pump. I need to chat him up anyway on other plans (building my 2.7 into a RS spec MFI 2.8) so I'll see if I can get his attention. Likely won't be until after the 1st.

Another thing to keep in mind is that with a dry sump motor like the 911 you should never see a drop in oil pressure on a long sweeper like what happens with a wet sump motor like a type 4. With the oil pickup in the oil tank like a 911, you have a better, constant supply of oil than you get with a wet sump arrangement, and no need for an Accusump. In a 911 a bigger pump will give you increased oil volume/pressure and more complete scavenging. Some will say it's not necessary on the early motors, but I've never heard anyone say there is a downside to a larger pump.
