There are a few threads on the forum discussing this. There is a guy who seems to have found a solution which involves a bunch of changes. 1in pickup with much larger screen. Shimmed oil temp sensor so it doesn’t block the oil gallery. Drilled the main feed that feeds the 2/3 rod journals and also increased the size of the grove around the main. He did some other stuff too but it looks like the most beneficial mods were the pickup tube and the mods to the main. I am tempted to buy the killer b pickup as it’s only $130 and easy to install. May do the oil temp shim too.
