Well the term top loader refers to a loader grate not unlike a ramp (or ramps) mounted to the rock grate.

As for the term inducer, this is a small impeller mounted on the pump shaft immediately in front of the main impeller.

The C impeller thing has me more than a little curious.

That would be what I meant by curious.... knew it had to be a little special. To do any kind of work, a C needs turn in the mid to high 6k rpm.

The cruise rpm is going to be quite a bit higher than that of one with an A impeller, but still "cruiseable" for the most part.

This thing hits so hard I can't believe it the guy who built this thing definitely knows his stuff. It's everything he said and more. It cruises at 4000rpm at 52 mph and he says 96mph at 6700rpm haven't pushed it that hard yet but did hit 87mph at about 6000. Man what a ride!!!
