No vacuum pump. The valve covers vent into the downtube. Even with no baffles in the valve covers the intake stays bone dry. A testemant to Shawn's skills. My 403 (no Shawn built) had a ton of blowby and I worked hard to vent it. Finally ended up with a filter on the oil fill.

...only not enough traction.
You can run the widest tire in the world, if it's not R-compound it's a waste of time. Been there done that on several cars.

The problem with drag radials is I like to run the back/mountain roads around here much too quickly for a drag radial. I tried the ET Street II's and it was horrible.
