Question 2001.5 Ho Vp44

Hows the reliability on the 2001.5 HO VP44.
I want to stack the Blue Chip APB box ,that
taps the VP44 wire, with my Van Aaken V5.
Do these VP's stand up better than the earlier
pumps ?

It's a crap shoot. When you use a wire tap box it holds the solenoid longer. Why not bigger injectors and a water/meth kit?

Crap shoot for sure.

My first/factory VP lasted 40K. I hope the second lasts a little longer.

mine went at 42,000 miles...

bigger injectors, a clutch and a fuel system upgrade might be more in order.

It goes both ways brother.... 109,000 on mine, including at least 15,000 with ZERO lift pump pressure and about 50,000 miles with a TST PM3 wire tapped stacked with an EZ......

I am positively convinced you either have a 'good' one or you dont.

75k on the original VP44 - The last 25k with the wire tapped. When I first tapped the wire it pulled -0- psi on the lift pump at wot a few times before adding a pusher pump and now a fass.



600 Megawatts - how difficult is it to re-arrange the lim-slip diff clutches and plates to every other one? My limited slip has not been abused, but I sure haven't been impressed by it when it was needed!



Thanks,

George

If you really want it to work all the time, everytime, get a detroit!

It's hard to say. Mines got 101,000 on it. The last 60,000 have been with TST PM3 on 9.
