Panic,

The pump is internally vented to the suction side and I figured if the pump could supply steady pressure to a BB Chrysler at RPM, it surely can handle my little GMC at 6000 RPM.

I agree about the scoop....but, my partners aren't gearheads and just wanted it to look pretty. The mirror finish is handy for them to comb their hair. I didn't have a vote on that since I'm bald.

Actually the whole car is a sort of compromise since there are 5 partners on the car. Kinda like someone once stated......the camel is really a horse designed by a committee. Overall, I'm very satisfied with all the partners contribution to the project.

Changes will be made as necessary when (IF) someone goes faster than we do.
