Need a New VP44, Which One Should I Use?
My VP is slowly dieing, dead pedal, low power, erratic throttle response, all the normal codes, etc.
The question I have is do I put an HO pump back on it, or will an SO pump work? Reason I want to do the SO is for more power potential, as the HO pump tends to peak at about 500-550HP, where as the SO pump is capable of more.

Kinda what I have been thinking, more for simplicity sake, but is there a reason? I would think that the higher HP potential would make it worth the switch.

As far as pump calibration, the VP44 is calibrated to a certain keyway on the shaft, to set the proper base timing, not speciffacly to a certain engine. The power differnece comes from the higher pressure of the HO pump, but overall lower volume then the SO pump.

I was told by TST that the HRVP would make about 60HP more than stock. It also gives you the full gains of any performance box. ie. instead of only getting 90RWHP from a comp or pmax you'd get the advertised 125/130, what ever it is. It would also allow you to run the drag comp or TST comp which from what I understand neither are recomended with the stock HO pump. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
