I haven't wired them in yet I mounted them yesterday and going to wire them in tomorrow but I've been driving for 3 months with no fan at all and it only gets warm if I'm not moving. Maybe pulling an extreme hill at less than 30mph it would overheat but on highways 3 or 4 mile climbs it stays right at 150° maybe 160° so if you watch your gauge and you don't leave it idling in the heat you really don't even need a fan

Awesome info about the fans, it's one of those things that trial and error in my case, so this gives me a great head-start. I may try one just to start with to handle idling situations, they get expensive.
It's a cool engine to work with - you are putting it in a truck 20years newer than the motor, and I am putting it in one 20years older. If you want to look at p-pump stuff "the pulloff" website has a great classifieds/parts section with some good deals on pumps.
That being said, if you feel you are making almost 350hp, how much farther do you want to go anyway I suppose? If you have the rack travel maxed out, you are going to be in the 180cc range I have heard, which could get you to that HP (I have heard almost 2hp/cc is attainable) especially with that bigger turbo and intercooler.
The MW pump is not a bad pump, just runs out of room for increases. From a longevity perspective, I bet a p-pump is no better/worse. Maybe neverenufhp can comment.

On a P3000, you dont need any different adapting. The existing adapter will need a little clearancing for the front of the new pump.
Correct, the NGD series 466(93-97) pump turns opposite rotation. You can run one opposite of its intended direction if you swap a couple injector lines. Or, find one that's regular rotation and has the bigger plungers. Typically, the 466NGD has a 10mm p3000, some have 11. A cummins 8.3 would have a 12mm pump, but you need to make sure it's a 3000. There's some on pulloff.com every once in a while, but most are a 13mm, That makes for a real touchy pedal, but crazy power potential. Great place to find adapters for a P7100 too.
