(just the opposite here...) At speed you have your vaccum resevoir, at 
idle, you have max vacuum in the engine. Anyway... I havent had the rod 
in my pump for quite a while now, and there is no noticeable difference. 
Even my wife cant tell the difference. So in my book, it isnt really 
needed that much.
