looking into a T500.

I'm seriously looking into upgrading to the T500 from Clay(Terminator). I have TW tunes. Would I need to reburn the chip? What gains were seen over the stock 17*? Easy to install? Looks easy,been studying other threads about the hpop. Just kinda want your input on the part and its pros n cons. Thanks guys.

On the contrary, a higher volume than stock pump will squeeze more efficiency/power out of the higher tunes. Most stock pumps won't keep up with the pressures the tuners call for with splits. I have seen firsthand the lack luster of a weak pump with less thirsty singleshots. Splits benefit even more. Depending in the ICP pressure now, I'd say there is always room for improvement. I feel that the increased volume that my Stealth Stage 1 HPOP provides is why my truck performs so well.

Mueckster is spot on. AD's benifit the most from big oil cause they are so oil hungry. I'm sure you would see a nice improvement over your current pump with the T-500. What's your ICP seeing now? Here was my Stock pump weak pump on my 80e tune:

Here's the AWESOME T-1000 with the 140 tune:

I would go right to the T1000 and skip right over the T500, more oil volume.

Proven pumps like the SRP-1 or Adrenaline is what I would be more apt to look at.
