Diagnose my IC pump?
I was out last night, an early 90's mustang pulled up that had at least a cam and loud exhuast, we both noded for the universal "lets go" and he got a 1/2 car length on the bottom from 20 mph start but when he shifted into 3rd (manual) I caught him and slowly started pulling ahead to about 100 mph with a 1/2 car length lead. Meet up with him after that at a gas station and he just had to know what the heck I was driving and had under the hood bragging that he beats vettes all the time. He had a lot of mods including aluminum heads ported and polished, cam, injectors, throttle body, large exhuast, intake, ignition, tune, etc. but didn't know his exact horse power/torque.
After that we ran again with same results, I turned off to go home and was WOT with every straight away until the 3rd time and no supercharger, the 4th no supercharger, and the 5th no super charger, but the 6th it was back.
Are we suppose to be able to do continuous WOT pulls without the supercharger clutching out in a stock setup?
So I am sure the IC pump is the issue but can the IC system stay cool enough for a few WOT pulls without the IC pump working? Is my pump working but not consistently or at full gph?
More than likely I need to start with replacing my IC pump but can the stock IC system and HE handle the larger CM30 pump until the rest of the system can be upgraded?
I would like to get a pump ordered fairly quickly as long as it is the issue.
Thanks for the help.
