ATayloracing We did that in road racing, ground off two of the for blades off the impeller, then they came out with underdrive tooth belt pulleys

Intrigued; Why are belt drive pumps a problem? Simplist thing on earth and they never slip and you can get all sorts of ratios in pulleys for them. Look at the Cosworth 4 cylinder BDA in the pic, click on it and you will see the small belt drive I'm refering to.
