Yes, the diameter of the stock, Canton and Morroso pickups can not keep up with sudden increases in needed pressure/volume. It catches up, but there is a lag and no one wants that.
So they went to one closer to 1" vs one a little ever 1/2" I.D.
I am building and modifying one with a "in-between" diameter pickup per Luhn's instructions. I have a thread on it. Waiting to get my short block from machine shop so I can finish. Will post pics.
The size I am going to is larger. But to go all the way to the 1" O.D. size tube they use requires milling off that part of the pump and using their bolt on adapter.
Oh, and the size and shape of the Canton pickup does not help anything either. Luhn said you are better off with a OEM style pickup.
