Jake at Jakes rod shop is running one without a cooler so I'm hoping not to need one. My pump got so hot that the hose barb adhesive melted and caused a leak. I'm going to a 10AN fitting on the new pump. Of course theres always a compromise. Pumping pressure is lower than factory under 1300 rpm. So it may cause some hard steering at idle. Nothing a blip of the throttle won't cure. I'll let you know what I think. You're running a steering gear so I'm not sure how you'll do. Only one way to find out! I'm pretty sure I've found the right truck, now I just need to find the right trailer. I'll be down your way with the car eventually. Just depends on how soon I get my car ready and trailer set up.

So, am I going to see you and the car at the street car shootout after SEMA? I just booked rooms at Marriott Suites--right across the street from the convention center.
