Electric airpump

What's the latest on solving the air pump problem for single conversions in states with emissions testing?

I know the corvette pump was used by some. I have heard that it was only designed for start-up and burns out in a hurry, even using reduced voltage. I have also heard that the RX-8 has an electric pump designed for longer cycles.

So what is the current "state of the art"?

Tom,
Do I read this to mean that emissions are your only concern at this point?
