I believe he's talking about a vacuum pump. Here is a link to how they work.

RE: Vacuum pumping the crankshaft
I've read of people getting that much hp with a good system. But it depends on your set up. You will gain much more hp with a 500 cid engine than what you would say with a 302 small block. It depends on how powerful the engine is in the first place and i've READ it depends on compression of engine also.
