After installing this Pro Comp Pump and having more problems than I care for I am going to put a regular pump back on it and wait to buy a CSI later.
What problems are you having? Great to know and save from getting a headache.

Those CSI are nice pieces.

Thanks for the PS tip.. I have another 1000 rpms to get there

The Procomp doesnt fit well, The backing plate covers up alot of the timing cover water ports, Also I cannot keep it from leaking, overall its just not a good piece.

If you put some time into porting the backing plate and enough Silicone it might work. But if you havent bought one already donot buy the procomp. I have heard that the Proform pumps are much better and priced right also.

I'll go the CSI route with the pulley on the front. I dont want to re-engineer the pulleys.. and buy another serpentine belt. I must have like 6 of them..

Never buy the stupid mini march pulley for the alternator.. belts dust on it like crazy.
