GTO power steering pump

I have a GTO LS2 with stock PS pump and I'm installing a remote reservoir. I'm not able to place the reservoir higher than the pump, so does the stock pump generate enough suction to pull the fluid up a slight incline?

I searched, but found nothing.

Maybe if you prime the pump first... really not sure though.

I emailed two companies about this. PSC says the pump can be modified to increase flow, and Turn One says it has to be gravity fed.

Nobody has done remote reservoirs with their LSX cars?

im interested in this as well...where are you placng the res? My fast intake is very close to the nipple on the right side of the car, and the PS bracket is almost touching my pulley. Id like to relocate it for safety's sake.

I'll start a thread with details when it's done. I have it where my battery used to be, but this is in my '88 Firebird.

Right now I'm leaning to sending my pump to PSC Motorsports. They say they have modified these on GTO's with remote reservoirs and hydroboost brakes.
