OK! Lets hear how she runs. If half as good as she looks the driver needs to bready for a ride.

Went to Epping yesterday and got to make the two required "moderate" runs for my license. Was trying to make three but we got interrupted by rain. I had the "rusty driver" tune up in it (no timing/lots of fuel). Launched it at 5K. It went 7.30@171 on the first pass, then went 7.19@183 on the second pass.

Great looking ride.........
We have been using a Petersen oil pump on our car (pump is half the size of your setup) .
What is the pump size and number you are using? We are getting a new pump ordered in the next few weeks for the new blown engine for our car. We will be using a Petersen pump again as we are very happy with their products.

Thanks...The pump is a Peterson R4, 5 stage dry sump pump. It has 4 vacuum stages and 1 pump stage. I'm using the one that is modified to run the fuel pump off of the back of the dry sump pump. I like that because if the pump belt ever breaks or comes off the pulley and you loose oil pressure, the fuel pump stops too and the engine stops running. On my deal, the pump is turning at 50% crank speed.
