I won't say it's easy but it isn't too bad to do... I think $1000 is the going price on an s.o vp44. Just make sure you run your new setup with a fuel pressure gauge if you don't have one already, and buy a pump puller off ebay if you do it yourself, they're like $40

from what I have seen of the fass and airdog systems the fass comes with better hardware and they support our industry a lot. at least out here on the west coast. you can do the pump yourself but if your in a hurry or worried a shop is always a safer bet because it's on them if they mess up
