So you did have the oil bypass modification performed by the machine shop, or not?
As per Bruce Anderson: "the oil bypass is a good idea even if you don't change the pump, because reducing the effort required of the scavenge pump keeps the oil level lower in the crankcase and reduces wasted horsepower."
I have no idea about performance of an early pump on a twin plug motor, but it sounds as though you are building a performance motor which may put additional stress on an oil pump designed for a motor with lower overall output/stress.
