So a few questions now that the pics are up...
12v or ???
Can they handle running all the time? (all drag use with occasional cruise to the local hangout)
Looks like push connect fittings, can they be plumbed with -AN hoses, vacuum release, etc?

I would imagine an engine with a bunch of force trying to blow past the rings will need a lot more draw to keep the charge from getting contaminated. I would ask an expert before you hurt something.

I'll be running the one pictured (same as on my last car), and I'll be able to provide real results because the Big Stuff 3 records crankcase pressure.. Dyno date is 2/11

so is this the same air pump that comes on our cars? i was thinking about doing this just for the hell of it. a guy i know with a 434 3rd gen said he picked up .1 sec and 2mph in the 1/4 using the factory air pump as a vaccum pump. didnt know how credible that was
also, would i be able to run this all the time, or would i need to keep it on a switch?
thanks..

No thats not teh one from our cars... 100% positive about that. The AIR pumps for our cars where designed to run for about 140 seconds at a time, and dont like getting oil in them.
