That really depends on how well these sale. However, you will save $130 getting it now vs waiting. You know your situation better than I, so I don't want to push you into buying if you're not ready. I understand other parts of the build can be more important at a particular time.

Sounds good! Look forward to assisting you when you are ready.

We used a Nismo pump as our base. To be honest with you, there is no difference other than gears for the Nismo model compare to base pump. So guys running the Nismo pump are paying almost $1k just for gears and name.
Advantages over Nismo are as follows:
1. Your getting more for your money.
2. The material used for the Nismo pump is still not as strong as the material we use.
3. You get a billet backplate to eliminate any flexing under higher pressure, also a better seal.
4. Gears are treated so that they give better performance in the pump and also protection against each other for running on each other for periods of time.
5. The pump is actually modified to accommodate the gears. Not modified to make the gears work, but so that you get the best outcome from running the gears and pump together.
Hope that helps some.
