Yeah, I clicked on the link to fwd performance and the search feature wasn't 
working. I didn't like the layout of the page. The windows-like menu on the 
left was arranged in a counter-intuitive sort of way. After clicking around I 
found what I needed. After a few other people urged me to have patience. Looks 
like they have good parts but whoever made that webpage for them is probably 
costing them some business. I gave up after 3 tries on 3 occasions.
As far as the want of a high volume oil pump. I have a roller cam in a slider 
head that has the extra oil passages in the caps. After installing this cam my 
oil pressure dropped 20 psi in a totally new motor (not worn crank bearings 
etc). I hooked up an oil cooler and pressure droppped to 10 psi. So i now 
disconnected the oil cooler to get the psi up and want  higher volume in hopes 
that this offsets some of the problem . I think i may have a stock cam in a 
head that has been oversized somehow. It just occured to me so I'll have to 
look into it. not sure ho that could have happened it was all new parts.

Hmm, doesn't look too hard to me to find:

http://www.fwdperformance.com/store/Category.asp?IDCatalog=78&txtCatalog=Camshafts

They also have injectors, etc.  As does turbosunleashed.com or 
forwardmotioninc.com

There was a wonderful page with many of the basic camshaft specs, but 
fwdmopar.com (where it was hosted apparently went away sometime between 
april and august.

If anyone has that page saved or knows where its hosted now, could you 
share it with us all?  OR better yet, is Dennis Doza II around to speak 
on it (it was his page)

I'm not sure why you feel you need a high volume pump, can you explain 
the reasoning why you need it?  The factory already puts restrictors in 
the line to the head to keep oil out of the cylinder head and they only 
ran a 1/4" feed line to the turbo because they were afraid the 1/8" 
line would snap off too easily.

Personally, I feel that controlling the foaming and overheating of the 
existing oil is more important before moving up to a larger oil pump.  
Adding a crank scraper and/or windage tray to the pan will help keep 
more oil near the pickup and reduce parasitic drag on the motor.  Porting 
the oil pump inlet on the block to match the outlet of the block will 
help reduce a restriction in the oiling system.  Adding baffles or 
one-way gates to the oil pan will help hold the oil near the pickup when 
cornering.  Finally an oil cooler will help reduce the likely hood of the 
oil breaking down under extreme pressure and heat.

Good luck in the search
