All Sweet Mfg. power steering pumps are variable pressure pumps with a control valve; each pump is tested and adjusted for maximum quality.
PSI ratings are maximum available pressure, lower pressure and flow pumps are recommended for street use. In most racing applications a 1000 psi, 3 GPM pump works well.
When wheel loads are extremely high ( Bristol/Winchester/Thompson, Conn.) and desert off-road conditions a higher pressure pump is necessary.
For the budget minded racer we offer the Sportsman pump, this pump features new inner working components with a remanufactured steel housing. Supply hoses going into the pump should be 2 ft. or less to avoid pump cavitation. Aluminum pumps are 1 lb. lighter than steel.
