woli what kind of pump did you go with?
I believe Woli went with a standard 44 not the Hot Rod version. I remember him saying before that he wasn't too fond of the hot rod, but I can't remember why.

Im just trying to decide which is going to be more reliable and last longer. im not planning on taking the truck to the track and racing it or at least not yet so im not sure that the extra fuel will be needed but im looking down the road and wondering if i should do it anyways while i need a pump instead of wishing i had.

If it were me, I'd go with a standard version. I think you can tweak those enough to do what you want them to do should the need arrise.

I think the standard one would be more reliable. There are just so many more of them on the road. I'm not a big fan of the de-fueling either. If you buy something that is goign to give you a lot of power, but the computer is going to de-fuel before you even get a chance to use it, then whats the point?

The chip defuels itself so that i can only hit 1250. i can take the defueling feature off but i dont want to chance burning it up so it is easier to let the computer watch the egts.

The pump is out and the new cam sensor is in. Im still waiting for the new pump to arrive! I hope it gets here tomarrow! The job was a lot easier than I had expected. I just hope I remember how it all goes back together when I finally get the new pump!
