better yet... get a 24valve and swap a P-pump on it.... everyone says it's a good idea

if you want 800-1000 horsepower p pump is the only way to go. theres a reason why people go from a common rail and make it a p pump. plus parts for a p pump are like 1/3 the price of common rails

most 24v swaps are for the vp44 trucks.I would go common rail.Its far superior.

i would take a common rail motor and p-pump it, they say that is the best way to go,
plus then you got no electronics
