scotty or vulcan?
Ok guys, I need some advice please. I did a search and did not find a direct comparsion between these two. Which in your opinion is better scotty fuel system or the vulcan? My truck is in sig. I will prolly be adding injectors down the road, nothing to wild though only as big as my hx35 will allow. I would really like to keep my vp-44 happy. As of now it idles at 12-14 psi, but I can pull it down to 1-3psi at WOT. So I am going to get one of these kits with a new LP. Thanks guys, Bret

My vote is for the Scotty System. I have a stock in tank LP and with the banjo bolt set up, I could easily light my low FP light. Now, I can get in it as hard as I want, and stay in it as long as I want, and I cannot light the light (doesn't drop below 5 psi).

Both kits remove the restriction of the banjo bolts and use bigger lines. Scotty's comes with the needle valve for the FP guage, Vulcan's relocates the pump for easier access. Like Scotty says: Both are good

Actually if you look at the Vulcanperformance page he sells FassII pumps too.

I've got the Vulcan kit and recently helped a friend install his Vulcan kit ... he sees 19psi at idle on a stock pump ... awesome!
Both kits, I'm sure, are equally beneficial, so it's up to you what you want to spend.
Good luck!

thanks to all for the replies! I dont want to spend that much for a FASS because I wont be going big with the bombs. And according to other posts unless you go big, you really dont need a FASS.
Looks like they are both priced about the same, so I guess I will call them and see what both guys have to say and make my choice from there. As it seems whatever people have choosen, they are very happy with either!
Again thanks much everyone! Bret

Just FYI, Eric at Vulcan includes an extra pair of 3/8 NPT to -8 fittings in the kit too, so you can run any aftermarket pump with the kit instead of having to buy another OEM lift pump.
I used a Holley Blue pump with my Vulcan kit. The Holley Blue is $106 from Summit and the Vulcan kit is $130, for a total of about 240 dollars.
