Ordered a 914$ Butler PCV vacuum pump evac kit today. Dyno test show 15 Wheel HP gain on similar setup. Lifespan does well on street, some as long as 4-5 years with occasional spirited weekend playing. Pump rebuild is about 200$ from manufacturer. Next costly thing is rims and tires. Never ending money pit. I'll never finish this thing. About 40k into it now and the list is still long. Lol. Got to love it!!

I doubt you really need that 15 wheel hp but I am sure it will look nice ! I feel your pain on the $$ and long list still to do, I have two of them going !
