on diesel bombers they said that it is possible to install the p-pump on the vp trucks is it really and would it be worth it?

P-pump kit will run you about $3500 for just the kit... There is lots of other things you got to change... Like your throttle assembly, gear case,etc...

u can take a 3x3 1/4' plate of scrap steel,and cut 2 slot in it then use the bolts that hold the intake horn whit some washer as a spacer if u have trouble whit ur puller

and as JakeBrake stated CHANGE THAT DAMN SENSOR when u can reach it,i changed it before when the pump is there and its a real pitta

All depends on the final HP number your going after. I'd be against it if you do any towing, dont think you would be able to keep your egt's anywhere near low enough.

the adrenaline has a built in egt safety so that they can't get above 1250. would a hot rod last as long as a regular? is it worth the extra few hundred?
