[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 451009, member: 483"] The pump does not supply pressure at a given flow / rate. The "specs" you see advertised are what the pumps are supposedly capable of at max performance levels but they rarely, if ever, actually see those levels. If you had a pressure gauge on your dash hooked up to your steering system you would see that the psi is always fluctuating. When you run into a rock and your steering wheel jars the pressure will spike. If you are driving on the road and turning really easy at speed you're probably at just a few hundred pounds of pressure. The relief valve in a pump is not a static set-in device. Is is dynamic in real-time and responds instantly to demand. Its like electricity. The power lines above your house are capable of delivering thousands and thousands of amps. So how come you never see thousands of amps at your house? Because there's nothing in your house that demands it. If there was, the lines going to your house were big enough, and the fuse at your house could handle it, you could pull thousands of amps off the grid. Running 3"+ rams is like running 1-ought cable to every outlet in your house. You'l never need it, so why pay for it? [/QUOTE]
