  1. This is what I was worried about, that I jumped a tooth and now it’s not timed correctly
  2. Only reason I did this was because everything I have read says the HO pump isn’t good for higher HP numbers and the SO is good for 700+/- . I have a few more things in the works for power coming soon, so I wanted to be on the safe side with the new VP44
  3. A little back story- i bought The truck with a bad lift pump I changed the lift pump to a raptor 150. When I went and had everything bolted up in the original location for the raptor and plugged it in and went to prime my truck I realize that the driver for the lift pump through the ECM was bad I was getting no power to my lift pump so I hardwired it to an ignition source . I knew in the back of my mind the VP was going to be close behind I anticipated the job. About 2 Months ago when the weather started getting warmer once my truck was hot it was having trouble starting it would take a few seconds to crank and then finally start so I ordered a new pump and put it in over the weekend drove it around feels a lot smoother but I feel like I’m down on power and then after driving a while shut the truck off and I’m still having the hard start issue. My FP is 21-22 at idle I’m going to turn it down to 18 or so and the. Wire in a switch for the LP so I can manually turn it on so it doesn’t get to much pressure when starting. That should get rid of the hard start issue. so the problem is I have a HO truck and now have a SO VP with 120hp injectors and a quadzilla adrenaline and I feel like I’m down a bit on power. The truck runs smooth but not as fast and I get hardly any black smoke now even in my high tune levels. I installed the BD stealth plate and have 12v for the wire tap. Before anything over level 3 (out of 10) my clutch would also slip (soon to be done) and now level 10 in 6th gear I can bury my foot and barely get any smoke and my my clutch doesn’t slip. So I know it’s down on power. I pretty positive my key way is aligned correctly it slid right in and I watched it from the back side the best I could. So I’m stumped also is the gear for the vp supposed to be able to flop around inside the case? When I went to wipe oil off of it when the pump was out the gear moves around very easily. Thanks in advance
