Default Hot Rod VP Vs Stock

Ive heard around that the Hot rod vp is not worth the extra money. I was just wondering if that was true because im sure i will be replacing soon. Just would like to know what one will get you better bang for your buck. Thanks

The HRVP is one of those fads that thankfully has almost played itself out finally. If you are runnin no mods other then the HO/HRVP pump it will increase HP slightly. But it doesn't play well with the Tuning boxes and other mods, it will take HP away from your mods and hold you back.

HRVP44 will not "take away" any hp, they are the same size internally as an SO pump

with the use of a wire tap box the HRVP44 is pointless, when you tap that wire there is only so much fuel that can flow at max output. however if you wanna run a non wire tap box, injectors etc and and make the most power possible then the HRVP44 will beat the SO pump.

I run a smarty on 9, and really big injectors. with the only change being the HRVP44 being swapped out and going back to an SO pump, I make the same max power with my wire tap box on, but with it off, I lost 80hp. My truck made 496hp with the HRVP44, but with the SO pump only did 416hp.

My friend just got a monster VP. It idles like only 3 cylinder are firing. Its the loudest, sickest sound i've heard. one of his fuel lines was put on wrong at it scorched his cylinder wall on #6. he HAS to get a new block now (which he already got). But that truck runningon only 5 cylinders my other friend said had more power than any truck hes ever driven. He got his from Coaltrain. I also know holland Court Diesel sells them to. Hes running a smarty/edge drag along with the pump and unlike the HR the monster loves the wire tap. The downside is, is you have to run the custom "stack" injectors with it for the NO QUESTIONS asked warranty. Depending on how you drive just a set of larger injectors will work for a while, but strongly recomended to run the stacks. Give coaltrain a or holland court a call just to talk about that pump. its amazing.
