idle lope
 

Hello Men! I'd like to know what makes a diesel engine lope like a built gasser. Also, does it have any performance benefits, or is it just for a performance sound?

Usually its just from oversized injector lines which you really wont need unless you're really into sled pulling or racing. Monster pumps makes an aftermarket VP44 that has a lope to it.

Its for wanna-be's.

agreed. usually i hear of alot of people having surging issues with loping trucks.:choochoo:

You can build a 1200hp truck that doesn't lope...

Alot of times a hot rod pump or especially monster pumps can have kinda a lopey idle. But sometimes they wont as well. Also alot of times in a gasser a cam helps give it a lope but with diesels we dont see that effect

I have Scheids Lightning VP44 and it has a little bit of a lope. It only does is in nuetral or park, when I put it in gear it smoothes out. I like the way it sounds sure gets peoples attention.

How about this truck.....

yes you can make 1200 hp w/o that... but damn i love that sound.... guess i'm just a wanna-be:dang:

There's nothin wrong with that. It does sound mean. My hrvp44 and 150 inj don't lope at all, smooth sailin at idle.

Yessir! I haven't heard it live, but I've seen the Monster pump video on Youtube. Sounds mean!
