Air Pump

Has anyone done an air pump yet? The old timers say they are worth 17 - 20 hp. We have a Moroso 3 vane belt driven pump being installed now. It will pull about 10" from 1 valve cover with a adj. pop off valve on the other valve cover using #12 line. We have welded a baffle inside the valve cover it pulls from so as not to take oil from the valvetrain. It will vent into a catchcan with a breather. We will start at 10" although I am told it can pull up to 15" but you do not want to starve the oil pump. We will also run 7 quarts of oil. I will have some pics up in a few days. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Dave

Re: Air Pump

I think you'd need to bulid your engine with low tension rings to take full advantage of something like this
