Do those pumps have a drain back valve in them?

I was just wondering if one pump stops if you would loose pressure if it back fed through the other pump. Just thinking out loud.

Sounds like a nice setup and using C6 components will give you a lot of options. What are your plans for the rear suspension?

I’m going to go with a ride tech 4 link and I’m leaning towards Viking berserker ASM shocks..the spacing is corvette spacing for the supercharger

I emailed Indy on the frames and they are very reasonable! Once I get my car finished and I am thinking about suspension mods, this is the frame I will be getting as well. Keep up the good work!

Default Pedal bracket
I知 building a 68 Camaro and have to use the same pedal as you due to the holley ECU, would you be willing to build me a bracket like you made for your car? I would be willing to pay for your time.
