I have been involved in electronics as a hobby for over 50 years.I am a Amateur Extra Class Ham Radio Operator. Now that said.I have learned one thing. Heat is the enemy of electronics. No way around it. Especially solid state stuff.I wasn't aware of how much electronics are in the vp44, and I don't know how much are in other injector pumps.Today I drove on a trip that was 35 miles one way, and came back. Ok no big trip. I drove at 52 mph, and tested fuel milage, and fuel pressure to my pump. Milage turned out to be about 25 mpg, and fuel pressure was around 12 psi. for the trip.When I came home I made a routine inspection under the hood, and I reached down and touched the plate where the electronics are located. Wow Hot HOt HOT. Now this is on a 80 degree day with easy driving. I don't even want to think how much HELL the components are going through on a hard pull up a hill on a 105 degree day.It is no wonder there are so many failures of the components..I have no answer to the problem other then maybee putting a vent from an air conditioner on it, and I don't think there would be enough air to do anything.I really feel that the designers never considered this when they put out the product.I am sorry but all the two cycle oil in the world won't cool our components. Lube the pump! Yes. Make it last longer Yes!Anyway that is my rant against the manufacturer today. Other opinions on this matter might help get rid of dissapointment of the makers.:mad::banghead:

He said that 20 min after the thing runs, it hits the max temp. After running around in an 01, it remains at that max temp for hours. I don't know what temperature limit he will set for that thing but if the engine block is not below that temp, it will just heat the VP right back up. He hasn't gave any details as to how it will run or when it will run. All he said was the 20 min thing. Mike also proved that there is no return flow through the VP if the engine is off, chip supposedly has an answer for this though. He needs to hurry up and get more details out there because as it is, I am in more doubt than anything else.

:iagree:

Chip thinks he has an answer.Call him.He will tell you.The trick is in the lift pump, as in keeping it running on a timer.He did the remote computer thing and had a problem with rf interference.Maybe he is finished with the r&d.He had a few test trucks going.

i offered to be a beta tester, but i haven't heard yes or no....yet. i signed up before i watched mopar1973man's video.....kinda leaves me doubting, but if i get a call i will still say yes and maybe get to see it up close
