I know this pump is EXTREMELY expensive, but I really think its worth =
it.  I was not going to buy it, but the wife and I were heading out on a =
long trip and she said =E2=80=9Cjust do it.=E2=80=9D  we have a 72, with =
the needles pointing down.  The needle went from typically pointing to =
about the 7 position on a clock to about the 5 position.  We also =
installed the aluminum housing.  So saved about 6 pounds, which I know =
is pretty pointless.  Changing from steel to billet aluminum also has =
some horsepower gains (also probably small)
