I believe Melling is the only one that makes a high volume pump at a decent price. The next step up is a Titan pump that costs about $600.

Doesn't somebody up in the NW run one of those?

This will sound like typical BS, especially coming from me, but the stock oil pump is more than enough oil pressure.

Remember; the more oil pressure it makes, the more HP it takes to turn it. If the stock system already delivers up to about 45 psi, getting a few more out of it isn't going to help reduce wear on anything. All it needs is good, clean oil. Not firehoses worth though, lol.

89 bucks not bad, just a melling unit that is upgraded. Sweet.

Like Alan said the stock is suffecient. Mopar does make a kit to boost the pressure on the stock ones but that is only reccomended if you have mods that have brought your oil pressure down.

I was thinking abut getting the Titan for my R-3 but the guy I bought it from said it would be a waist of $$$$. He reccomended a Melling HP. Said that would be sufficient.

The precision one is only a 100 or so shipped, so I think its worth it just to keep the oil flowing.

I'm running a stocker with that kit now, It has worked out nicely. Remember, a high volume pump requires a high volume of oil, I wouldn't use one without a lrager capacity pan. I'm currently running the JM 7 qt pan, it's a really nice piece for the money.
