yes I believe beans kit uses a SD fuel pump. It will work if wired and plumbed in. Thats what I plan to use or a similiar pump (or two!) And yes the electric pump will smooth the flow out so there are no pulses.

He owns a local diesel performance shop, hes aint OBS at times, he told me that these rigs couldn't hold up to more then 350 ponies. Maybe I should have Lukecline give him a call, lol. He told me that my numbers were great but the motor wouldn't be reliable. I think he was just talkin to talk

808Trucken,
No big power increase, but it did smooth the idle and I did notice my boost was higher going up some of the same hills I've pulled up before with the stock set up. I attribute this more to a leaky stock system and dirty FPR screen than the new system. The Beans kit comes with an Aeromotive regulator that sits over the HPOP, once set at 60psi it never fluctuates or pulsates. For me it simplifies the fuel system and is much more reliable and easy to work on.
