Here's my dilemma. It's 2:40 am and I was reading "Ways to cure 7M oiling issues" so I may not be thinking really good right now. So what I bought so far is Arz Oil pump supply kit, New Oil Squirters, And Driftmotion's Upgraded Oil Pump. From DM's site it say's the pump is shimmed and Idk to what. Now for some quotes,

"IJ:I've found a 5mm shim in the pump valve is plenty".

"Jdub:^^^ And that will give you 60-80 psi of pressure...make sure the rest of the oil system can handle it. For stock or light/medium mods, 5mm is plenty".

In all honesty, when I was first buying everything I figured I would be fine, but since I read that I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the help

All you have to do is call DM ;)
Or, take the relief valve bolt out and measure it yourself.

Based on the info you provided, there's no way to determine if there will be a problem or not. Probably not, but you'll have to find out the shim thickness on the DM pump relief valve.
