I have come into this thread about halfway through, so someone may have 
already raised this point. 
If you increase the performance of an engine, the engine will generate 
more waste heat. And as the secondary purpose of the oil is to remove 
this heat from the internal components, if you increase the volume of 
oil ciculating you get rid of this heat. Hence the high volume pump. 
Also if you check most dry-sump setups, they carry a lot more oil than 
stock for this very reason.
