THANKS JIM, for you views. if i understand you correctly. its read to me as if the pump pulls the vacuum at rest or going to and from the lanes. so the world famous 20 extra HP dosen't apply. but, it will "suck" the moisture out of your oil and could be used as a nice tool prior to putting the car away after a day of racing.

would that be correct?

assumming your answer is yes. then i think i have no choice but to deal with the economics and trouble assoiciated with a belt drivien pump. not so much for the horsepower gains. but to help it live longer. since it seems that my engine builder did put low tension rings in this deal with gas ported pistons.

so thanks to all to gave there input. now all i need to do is go make some money. i guess about 1000 will do it. includes pump, pully, mandral, the the world famous and might i add expensive, braided hose and fittings.
