Electric vacuum pump help-recommendations Ok, tried the search, so maybe no one has tried yet.
I have given my 2 cents worth enough, now I need some of the fast guys with experience to pass on their info.
Since the engine shop stole my old blue, I figured it would be a good time to get up to date. I know the Pro-Stock, spend any amount of money guys use them, have any of you made the switch. I see a few kits in mags and on-line.
My ?? is, did you guys buy a kit, buy the pump and make your own system or tried it and hated it. Who's kit or pump did you like or not like. Thanks guys.

We use a kit from Nickels Performance, it really sucks good! 
If you don't have a hookup, let me know and I'll get you one if you want. I think they're around $300 but don't quote me..

Thanks Brady, appreciate any help. I wanted to check out the specs before switching. My Pro-Mod uses 16 volts and my slow car uses 12 volts. I wanted to be able to go back & forth and use as a back up if one broke.
Hey 408, I used a T block and a inline valve to release the vacuum, how do you plan to do it???

I would run a tee with a valve on the breather side and the pump side so I can run one or the other. I would then weld another an bung in my breather tank for the vacumm pump discharge. This is my current setup

I just ordered one from Kaye Racing. I've heard of some local guys using them but none on an LS-based motor. From what I hear, on a drag race setup they work great! We'll see...
I have the pricing on the pump set up. It runs $350.00 and includes an electric pump and catch can. I am working on pictures.
What are the pros and cons versus the mandrel drive unit for TWICE the price?
I am building a drag race only carbed Big-Block without an alternator and will need to buy something soon. Thanks

also...how much vacuum can this thing effectively pull on a high rpm setup?
