According to Rip at Source Automotive, it is very hard on the pump. It makes sense though. If you normally walk everywhere you go, start running instead. Now start sprinting instead. See how much more fatigued you get? Same concept. That said, it wakes these trucks up 10x!

Do you have all your other supporting mods? If so, list them in your signature.

There seems to be a lot of nonsense about chicks above this post. There are hundreds, probably THOUSANDS of VP44's tapped out there with no adverse effects. I agree with Luke and say go for it. In my opinion don't tap the external wires, use a stealth plate instead.

I've tapped my last 3 pumps now and won't do another, I'm tired of buyin new VP44's and these weren't cheap pumps either.

I've used both the stealth plate and the Scotchlock. Yes it is a flip of the coin, I can show examples on both sides of the fence. If you can afford to replace the pumps then go for it and if you can't then think hard about it.
