In my book it is worth it for the extra power. The only problem is the cost for the street pump from meziere. The race pump is a whole lot cheaper.

Worth it? Only you can answer that my friend.

$600 for 3-4hp...is that worth it to you?

He has a 400+ cube motor with a th400, I think he will gain a little more than 3-4hp

You'll see 8-12 on the dyno. Worthwhile in my book, and a bonus is you can run the pump in the pits with the engine off if you want to cool the car

What all is needed for a Meziere 119 pump?
Top hose, bottom hose, do you need a t stat for track only car?
Do the stock hoses work?
