Vacuum Pump Opinion

Looking for your experience’s, opinions and pro’s/cons on running a vacuum pump on a street strip car. It’s winter, idle minds.

My experience with them is track only and wonder if the benefits would carry over to a street car. Like ring seal, oil leaks, pulls out condensation etc. They’re virtually no maintenance, considering. Only draw back I can see is cost. I get it, functioning pvc’s do a good job, but.

On my drag car, I used a moroso 3vane with the vacuum breaker set at 8 inches. The engine dynoed at 620hp (pump gas amc 390) without the pump. Later installed the pump and immediately picked up two tenths. Pulled the belt and slowed two tenths. Back to back runs.

The opinion of other racers at the track was, that’s what they do.
That said, there not talked about much here.
