hey man all these pumps r the same. use a marzochi head but just remember it aint the equipment its what u know and what u make it do. my homeboy had a single pump with six batteries and he got up about 12 inches but i on the other hand with just scrap parts and no marzochi head was getting up about 24, with a marzochi im confident with what i know now i could get a single pump up to 35 or 40 inches. fyi i use showtime

There is always a need to reinforce, well that is if u want ur car to last or if u want to do something fun. in order for there to be no need for it never leave your car in an awkward position, never lift ur car unevenly, and never ever get switch happy if that is how u wanna ride ........ have fun in boringville

it could be a few things, it could be a weak check valve, a faulty dump, or a hole in your hose, or it could be just loose fittings. your cylinder could be leaking from the bottom. close your slowdown valve and lift the car, if it comes back down its not ur dump. it will either be your check valve or a leak but if it comes down fast its more than likely your check valve and if it comes down really really slow then its probably a seal.

Ideas, Inventions, Theories / For Hopping / Using a return hose and a second check valve

well i think this may be a little false (this is just my opinion). but if there is another check valve in the system under the hood closer to the cylinder you not only disrupt flow this will decrease the surface area when there is a spike in the hose(when it hits the ground fully pressurized). in other words it will not be 2,500 psi for 15 feet of #8 hose it will be 2,500 psi for 2 feet when it spikes the entire weight of the car will be on those 2 feet.
