Default RCM Modified Oil Pump - Worth it?

HI All,

Looking at some safe-guarding mods along with my gearbox and wondered whether it would be worth going to a modified oil pump.

I see RCM do a 10mm (standard) 11mm, or 12mm version which is meant to improve oil pressure - is this a worth while modification in peoples mind?

Now before it goes down that direction - no im not going to be tracking the car every weekend, and yes I only drive at 40mph

But I wondered whether uprating the oil pump thus giving the engine better oil feed would be something that would help prolong its life? Especially as my oil pump is 15yrs old now and so I guess might not be working as well as it would have been new.

Appreciate your thoughts........................................an d abuse
