On the poly carbon gear---it is slick but carbon is one of the hardest substances known to man--
I further beleave that it makes little difference how much pressure you pump, bur how much volume---
The problem ( as stated bu ford in the late fifties) blowing
oil filters when cold---
It would be interesting if some of the pump guys--Aviaid, Barnes,etc would post some numbers on power reguired for pumps--I know Barnes has a test station and probably could be as simple as how many amps it takes
The big drag on our race engines was from the magneto--
