One idea on the table for next year is switching to methanol.

Not a bad idea. Throw a pro mag on there like Tom. I'd like to see what it can do this year!

The MAG will help if you switch to alcohol.

I had some issues with my vacuum pump system. I initally had the valve covers feeding the star mountain motor pump feeding a moroso tank but it was getting oil in the pump.

So I got a Star air/oil seperator tank and added that between the valve covers and the pump. I still think I need a 2nd -12 to pull from the driver side cover but we'll cross that bridge next time out. The new tank has a section for pre-filter before the pump and a section for post pump to clean the exhaust.

The oil would get into the vacuum pump and restrict the vanes from coming out and pulling vacuum, had to tear the pump down and rebuild it and its dry now.

I never would thought about the oil limiting the volume in the vanes. Makes sence, now that you say it.
