It's a bit too late for that. :P I had a few other recommendations for items that he should pitch (ie the 12mm oil pump doing more harm than good), but it sounds like everything is already said and done.

It will increase your oil temperature and aerate your oil causing a loss of oil pressure and flow because more oil is being bypassed. Your stock oil pump is more than capable of handling the needs of your engine. There is a such thing as going too large on an oil pump.
[Edit] I found a better explanation:
[Edit] I found a better explanation:
The engine is what controls how much oil it will take (bearing clearances, if you have oil squirters, etc). The 11mm pump is capable of flowing more oil, but unless your engine can actually flow all of that oil, it won't be used. Instead, all of the oil that is not used by the engine, is recirculated within the pump, causing excess heating and aeration. You only need to increase the flow capacity of your pump if you modified the engine to draw more oil (bigger bearing clearances, adding AVCS, adding oil squirters, etc). If you don't modify the engine, and just slap a higher flow pump on there for the hell of it, all of the extra flow from the new pump will just be recirculated within the pump and will never make it to the engine. It will do more harm than good.
