There are allot of posts on here about Ppump swapping... Since the motor is out it will be easier BUT its still a TON of work.. It cost about 2000$. I would just tell you to get a good VP pump and call it good. I will never swap because i LOVE that i can turn the pump up and down with a tuner rather then fuel plates and such.
To swap you have to replace the WHOLE engine front cover, gears and i heard weld the gear to the 24v cam?
Just hardly seems worth it... You can get 600hp on the VP pump!

thanks very much!!! thats really just what i wanted to hear, i have a edge attitude/juice what other box can i stack on top of that or just one single box can i use to give me the most to work with (smarty on top of edge, just the edge, or just a smarty,quadzilla)???? i would rather keep the vp pump also sounds like to much work!!
also i am looking at switchin out my htb2/66 with a silver bullet 62??? opinions on that are welcome

Not sure about stacking. I heard you can do allot with a Smarty... However i am a fan of on demand tuning. The Quadzilla Adrenaline with Pulse can be customized and tuned your way. It also can be turned up and down on the fly!
ALSO if you have an iPone, iPad. or iTouch you can wireless connect it to the Adrenaline and use it as a full color display! Im jealous because I have the older ADR so i need a update to use the iQuad... Oh and i dont have an ianything haha. Maybe they will make a Droid version?

Is your current VP bad? You should be ok with it for a while as long as you feed it lots of fuel!

If all your looking for is 600hp then I would stick with an SO pump. I'd ditch the 66 and get a 64, twins, or maybe a billet 66!! Heard awesome things about the billet 66. Flows like 80lbs of air at 31lbs of boost. A regular 66 does that at over 50lbs of boost!!!
