Stealth vs. Terminator HPOP's

Looking for some advice: differences, likes, dislikes, etc.

On Stealth's website, they have the new design with the 3 stages, but I'm not sure if it's fully available yet. The previous version looks nearly identical to the Terminator, so that's the one in question.

Any help would be much appreciated because I'm starting to look into it more.

BTW- The BTS is also an option, except I like the idea of these other 2 staying in the engine valley instead of stacking.

Thanks!

A couple of nice things about the stacking. It raises the height of the fuel bowl so I can reach it easier and change the O-rings when necessary. The other thing is a little more of a joke. Now I can say I have stacked pumpers. LOL

The pulse and the new stealth are single pumps, smaller, take up less space. Not proven though, yet, You dont neeed the flow of two full pumps unless you are running an oil-side modified injector, which basically none of us on here are, so the 50% over stealth is all the flow youre probably gonna need.

That is definitely something to brag about!!!

I'm not too worried about the fuel bowl being up higher because I'm wanting to delete it. I really like the ITP fuel block as it attaches to the existing bowl mounts and sits flush with the res. above the pump. But with the BTS raising it, I'll either have to custom make my own lines back down to the heads, or use something different. That's why I kinda liked the valley design of the Stealth or the Terminator.

I know the new Stealth is completely different the the Terminator, but what is that much different between the original Stealth and the Termy?

The old stealth uses two stock pumps, however connected differently than the terminator system. The terminator system is by far the most highly spoken of, the stealth will be a good alternative to those not needing "Big" oil, hence the name "medium" oil.

If you let Dennis at ITP know that you are using a fuel bowl delete kit, with stacked BTS pumps, he can customize your kit to accomodate.

I have a stealth dual pump setup.. Mine has been a headache. I don't recommend them. I am in the process of talking with Terminator about switching over.

I don't have any experience with the new single Stealth design, but I know they have been released and are available.

Thanks Kris. Thats what I was kinda thinking but wasn't sure. I'll check with Dennis and see if he has anything.

That sort of comparison is what I was wondering about and looking for. Thanks!!
