That's quite the surprise. Japanese engineers are expert at making sure the design has extra safety margin. Even back in the 70's. Although they are much better at it now. I can't imagine they are rpm sensitive 33 years later. I have heard of a lot of guys adding flow restrictions on pump inlet, not aware they are increasing pressure drop. Particularly true with fuel systems. -al wick
  
It's back to compromises, Al.  Have it pump good at 2000RPM.  Have it pump good at 6000RPM.  You can't get both in this universe.  So you design for somewhere in the middle...and hope some fool doesn't go to thinking that he can put the thing in an airplane  8*)
