Either one will work fine for the power level you want.

If 300-350 is all you want, a rotary VE or inline P7100 should get you there easily.

I don't understand. If all he wants 300-350 hp for a DD/tow rig (and will probably doesn't need to run over 3k RPM), what advantage is the P7100 going to give? The VE starts quicker, has more low end torque, has dynamic timing, and fuel mileage is usually a tad bit better with them.

I'm not knocking the p-pump, I searched hard for one, but my truck will eventually be at 5-600hp; it suits my goals better.

The ve has my vote. Fast starts dynamic timing better low end fueling

either will get you what you need and I think you can get the p pump to start just as good as the ve

its all in the heads before I had my head gasket go out on my p pump it would start hard the guy that did my head work really understood how to grind valves on a diesel and now it starts as good or better than our 91 ve
