I put the 340 on. From my understanding of the 340 it creates the same volume with higher pressure. Now then when I did the timing deal there were indications that the Phaser was not getting all the oil it should have been getting That could have been a vct deal but I figured what the hell I am in there anyway so time to change pump. I opted for the 340 You cant go wrong with any upgrade.

Im sure you've already looked here but this is the best info I found.

So the 340 is higher pressure same volume and the 360 is standard pressure standard volume. It appears looking at the specs the 340 is the high performance version the 360 is closer to stock. Dont think you can go wrong with either but I like the idea of higher pressure. Its what I put in mine.

Looks that way. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the M340, and M360 that I can see, besides $2

The sales guy gave you r the exact right info. Pumps create FLOW. Restrictions create PRESSURE. If you replace a 30GPM pump with a 50GPM pump then you will get higher pressures. Since you cannot change the speed the pump turns you at you can only increase the displacement of the pump (aka use bigger gears to more more oil) and a larger displacement (wiat for it) PRODUCES A HIGHER VOLUME.
So yeah, he was right.
Your statement "greater volume through the same identical system would give higher pressure and NO pump could change that" is not even a complete thought. I'm sure he laughed at you (as I am now) because logic, you did not make any.

so... pumps create flow, restriction creates pressure <-- physics
same flow through less restriction = less pressure
same flow through same restriction = same pressure
more flow through same restriction = more pressure
therefore: "greater volume through the same identical system would give higher pressure" is correct.
...up to the limit of the bypass system, anyways.
