I ran a bronze oil pump gear for years on my roller cam with no issues. 100 psi of oil pressure and turning the motor 7000 rpm. Later I changed to an external belt driven pump.

The car made 280 wheel hp naturally aspirated (6800 rpm) and 480 wheel hp with 15 lbs of boost (around 6000 rpm cant recall right now).
I have been pretty busy this year but did get some body work done on the car. Machine work is done on a new "experimental" motor, should get together soon...
Yes, we will be back with a new sheet metal intake and a flat hood. With the new intake I think I have a lot left at 15 psi (better air distribution). It has been a very busy year and the race car has been on the back burner, but we are getting back on track this fall (I hope).

No video that I know of. There were a lot of people at the track, so if any one
finds one please let me know.
After the pass we weighed the car 2225 with me.
Thanks again to all

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the congratulation.
As you can imagine, it felt awesome. I never thought
it would go that fast. I could not have done it without
lots of help from everyone!
15 PSI boost

Bill & Charrlie, Thanks form the kind words. It has taken along time, the offical start of the turbo project was in 2006 when I got my ecu. Finally got the efi on in 2010 and now the turbo. I cant wait to get this combo working. Thanks again.
Mine runs on methanol, It made 270 hp at 6700rpm normally aspirated.
With the turbo it made 485hp at 4700rpm. 15 lbs of boost. Tire spin was keeping from getting good numbers after that, but it is tuned to 7000rpm.
As Bill has said, building these turbo headers is not easy!!!
The "J" bend may be the best way to go for most street applications.
Just thinking out load.

You can get what ever piston you want from Venolia or JE. They even come with rings.
I ordered a felpro gasket kit and a custom head gasket the same day, the head gasket came 3 days later.
Why do you need head gaskets in quantities? How many head gaskets do you go through a year...
I dont under stand?? Ordering pistons or head gaskets is like ordering pizza.... just pick up the phone. I never had problems finding a cam either. Headers.. check.. 4 bbl manifold..check..roller rockers..WOW we can get them too. Webbers, true roller chains, aluminum valve covers.
Please...
