Are you still running the stock oil pump and fuel system?

No, I didn't do the water pump mod. It is on my list. I just went back with the stock water pump since the one I had had a lifetime warranty, and I was getting low on funds.

Yes I'm still running the stock oil pump and fuel system. I'm looking into the E Fuel and also the upgraded HPOP.
I'm trying to find out exactly what the upgraded HPOP does. Just trying to educate myself. I'm not one to start changing stuff on my truck just because some one says it's better.

The injectors require high pressure oil to push the fuel down and out of the nozzle. The more fuel you try to get out if the injector, the more oil is needed. That makes the high pressure oil pump basically tge heart of the injection system. Upgraded HPOPs flow a larger volume of oil.. extreme layman's terms, but that's the basic idea. I can go into specifics later if needed.

If you plan on running that dude hard you need that hpop.

I sure felt a difference in mine. but I just had stock injectors. about 6lbs more boost.

I was reading up on it last night. Guess I'm going to start prepping for that upgrade.
