Dont know how much flow racks use.
To produce that much flow and pressure we are looking at needed between nearly 2 to 2.5 horse power to maintain it.
The good news is thats only like 5ft.lb of torque, the clutch I want to use can handle many times that.

What would a 160 psi electric water pump do (similar to the one on your water injection kit). Would it provide any noticeable improvement?
Also, does the system keep pressure or does it constantly flow back to the reservoir?
