300/440/550 how do the afterburner pumps perform?

[tiplickhahaha]

How do the PJS afterburner pumps perform on the 550. i am thinking about picking one up for my ski, and looking for some reports.
The one im looking at is a 121 mm pump case and a 85 mm nozzle.


thanks

I saw one on ebay, but it didn't have the nozzle with it... was that the one you were looking at? Looks like its a 440 one though? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-...015QQitemZ250000409074QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

So to run the afterburner pump, or the one that Louie has, I would have to swap over to a 440 driveline right?

I wasn't aware the drive line on the 550 compared to 440 were different.

if it is a PJS pump, then yes, you will need the 440 driveline and prop to run it. ( sorry not sure what louie has)
