Hey, Can you give us some details please? I think I'd like to do this.

Thanks!

It's a GZ motorsports kit for a corvette with a little work to make it for a 10' camaro. You need to machine a few of the ecm fins so the pulley doesnt hit (you can see in the pics kind of) and you need a longer engine head stud to mount in on (the vette one is ~1.5" short), and a few other little things. Not sure how nec it is for a boosted or stock cube motor, but it's worth around 25-30hp on my setup, and no more oil leaks or blowby.

I was getting crazy blow by until we installed an oil cap breather but after 2 1/8th mile passes I still have a little leakage. I saw a NA car pick up 30 rwhp after he connected the VP last week on the dyno. I'll have to do a little research and see if it will work for a FI car.

Thank you.

Similar setup, cog drive piggyback off the tensioner, just with different vacuum spot. Looks good. Eventually I want to weld a -10an to the valley cover and pull straight from there just for a cleaner install, but this works great.

Thats for older camaros. Trust me when I say it isn't bolt-on

Both those setups are the ultimate for a big build motor!!! The pumps wont last long on the street, at least the vanes & bearings, so keep an eye on the play in the shaft.

GZ rated it at a few hundred hours I think is what their packaging said. It's just a reworked AIR injection pump with billet inners and nice AN ports, has the GM part # on the back (well, what used to be a GM part). I certainly wouldn't DD one, but 8-10k miles is reasonable life expectancy. They're rebuildable and have a one year warranty.

that would def work for jamie, 1/4 mile at a time= 32000 to 40000 runs at the track,,,
