At what point in your bombing project would you exceed the capacity of the VP44 or is there such a thing, I looked in the Tech facts section and did not see anything pertaining to this. Thanks for any input.

Exceeding Capacity on the VP44.
If you are asking at which point is the VP44 is "petered out" ?

I think a stock VP44 is capable of supporting a 550hp truck of course this is with large injectors, the air to burn the fuel, and a pusher setup and fueling box.
There are some trucks producing more hp on Diesel with a VP44, but not many. Some Trucks that produce more have a "tweaked" pump, and others producing more hp with a VP44 are using Propane or NOS or both.
There are some exceptions no doubt (further confusion!!).

I have to agree with Justin. 500+ hp out of a stock VP44 is about what I have seen to be the max. It just can't flow enough fuel.
