    Has anyone ever done any dyno testing of oil pumps for Alcohol motors? (say 426 type) I am curious as to what kind of hp it takes to run an oil pump at Max engine HP. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. :)

    Fred Mandolini Told Us That The Kb Billet Pump With The Nitro Spring With Nitro 70 Oil In A Stage 6 Block At 9800 Took 52hp. That Was Three Years Ago On Our Set Up. He Said Pressure, Oil Viscosity, Engine Clearances And Rpm Were All Variants.

    I would have never guessed it took so much HP to drive an oil pump. Anyone else have any info?
