I ran a 3-stage SCP pump on the Cobra for a while. We didn't try to pull vacuum... ran it vented. A good quality 4-stage is the minimum we would use to run it sealed.

We'd see 10-12" with a 4-stage Barnes on the Late Model engines. That's why we didn't run regulators, only pop-offs. We'd see a little more than that with 5-stage and gerotor-style pumps.
