If a 25% reduction in pump speeds yields 8 foot-pounds, that would imply that using all-electric pumps could give you like 20 foot pounds! At least at the high end. Wouldn't tuners be all over a mod that yielded that much?

Pro drag racers ARE all over this!
NASCAR has found gains all over the place;
1) Down sizing oil pump to flow just enough oil and no more, gains 8-10 HP
2) Running a vaccum on the crankcase to suck out air below the piston before the down stroke, gains 10-12HP
BAT lists the electric water pump as gaining 6HP on the Duratec.

Little things can make a big difference.

I need all those things....except the Duratec.
