not as bad as you may think... $200 for the pump is what im seeing with out a core

after that its just the bracket lines and connectors. Im a machinist student so luckily i can make the bracket in my class.

Im going to do this in the next couple of months...

That's cool, but for a 5-10 horsepower peak loss.. i'm not all that for it.

It's good that they measured the power loss on the alternator while running that, because I was about to question it haha.
Good find! :thumbs up

Losing 5-10hp in a stock motor is a big deal, this is def worth it

$200 for 5hp is not worth it to me, lol.

I've seen people dump $1200 plus on I/h/e and gain 8-12 hp so $200 for 5-10 isn't bad deal.

A lot cheaper than the IL4 kit.
