vacuum pumps

i have a 800 hp. motor. and i need to install something to get rid of the pressure in my crank case.
so I'm looking into get a vacuum pump, what are you guys using. is their any kits that would solve all the parts needed.
without mix matching parts, and benefit more than taking hp and torque away .i see gz , star and mororso say their product is the best, prices ranges are kind of crazy. so what would be the beat bang for the money .and help me from suck my oil pan gasket into the motor, willie

Star racing pumps are top notch, the only pump we use.

I've call them once.
Which pump would benefit me the most.
Sportsman / standard/ mountain. I see a kit for standard and sportsman.
How much more machining to get them to fit.

Heres my setup above. Fabrication is involved.

did you buy the kit or did you have to buy each parts.
And if you did buy the kit .
What other parts did have to buy to complete your set up.
By the way yours look awesome.

Thanks

Where is a good place to hook a vaccum Guage.
to determine how much vaccum I'm pulling.
Valve cover or fuel block off?

If you're asking about the vacuum pump performance, I would assume any crankcase fitting would work. They should all be at approximately the same vacuum level. To avoid any latency issues in the valve covers, the fuel pump block off is probably a more repeatable location.

fuel block off plate is the simplest. But was hoping to hear from others with aftermarket vacuum.
