No odd vibrations or other signs of distress?

Oh, I see, it's "normal" according to the dealer, right?

How did the bearing surface look in the cam plate? Is it scored more in one area than another?

The ones I have done were all fine from the factory. Even when not you just set lash at the tight point and its fine.

Any experience with Drag Specialties pumps? Supposed to be higher volume and certainly cheaper. Not wanting to go cheap, but if it's better as well..... why not. Most concerned with durability. The motor is totally stock.

07+ OEM pump is ample for what you are doing.
