Hey, I think this has to do with angular velocity. (Freshmen Physics, why couldn't I pay attention to the prof, and not that little hottie I sat next too.)

I was about to say that the pump rotates at half the speed of the engine, but then I remembered how the pullys look.

Just eyeballing it, it looks like the pump will rotate at about the same speed as the crank.

So my answer is, "purrty darn fast"

Yes, that's my final answer.

Thanks Terry.
