Is the stock OMP alone enough to support 400+ rwhp, or would you need to run premix?

I've always run a little premix... Just for the hell of it. I know od a few people that are over 400 and don't premix...

It can't hurt, especially with the extra stress the hp will put on the motor. I run 8 oz amsoil premix with every tank of gas.

My motor is going in within a few days, and I need to decide on what front cover to use. Im considering using a S4 mechanical OMP, but if I would still have to premix, Ill just say screw the OMP completely.

you can get the s4 pump to put out a lot, but then you also run out of oil in like 250miles, i say just premix, or premix to suppliment the stock pump

Ive been running premix for 2 years with no OMP. It can be a pain to have some 2 stroke oil every time you get gas, but Ive dealt with it for 2 years, so it doesnt really matter anymore.

yes, but if you take into account how much it helps your motor, as well as simplifying things, it's worth it. To me at least.



Why get a 2k turbo, 3k rebuild all that work, but your too lazy to put some oil in the gas to make your motor wear twice as long.



That's just my opinion.
