Your only option is to use a supercoupe 3.8l oil pump. it has one more tooth on the gears then the regular 3.8/4.2 oil pump and is suspected of flowing 13% more oil at the same pressures.
In my opinion you don't need it. stock oil pumps have been tried and true for every application out there even 500rwhp v6's.

I might be wrong, but I though the supercoupes had larger oil pans...the higher pressure pumps do a great job of pumping oil tothe TOP of the engine and the bottom end can run DRY...ouch!!
My friend put on on a Corvette ans spun a main bearing at 6500 rpm....no oil.
The high pressure pumps are for the racers with the big oil pans...stock oil pumps are fine for most other use...
