In fact, it's the same type 2 pump Steve broke at the Optima Challenge. I know his was a turn one already that had seen better days. Not all stock parts are engineered to be pushed to the level some of us are looking for either. I've already made the bed I lay in and you won't see me running the one lap of america. At the end of the day, your only as good as the sum of your parts.
So true---it is tempting to go LS motor in this car for this and many other reasons---I bet in two years I can talk you into one lap ---you will have done everything else by then--LOL.
