Yes, some of the parts and technology have street application, but otherwise its a lot like comparing a Pikes Peak car to a street car.
Tommy with all do respect your wrong. The engine is not designed for masters competition. Far from it. The cam is used in Jims dirt track engines. The pistons are off the self. The rockers are 1.7

A vacuum pump will do just fine in this application as long as it has a good oil supply. ( its not a daily driver)

I have personally used both elect water pumps and super victors on street cars. My last cobra engine had a super victor.

How about cobra with a elect pump and a super victor.
