You will gets lots of opinons on this.
Mine is the Adrenaline is a lot of money for a used pump. Yes, it flows more oil than a 17° HPOP, but IMO that same money is better spent on a new 17° pump that will most likely be all the oil you'll need for the typical injector upgrdades....Until you go with reeeeaaaaly big injectors.

Terminator Eng. modified 17° pump gets my vote. Much less expensive and those that have used them have all been very happy with them.

It depends on what your loyalties are and where you live. I'm sure either of choices is a good one. I'm a west coast guy and Terminator Engineering is an hour away from me. So that would be my choice. An HPOP upgrade is something one does when they need to for performance reasons as Jim stated. Or if there is an issue that requires a replacement. At least thats how I see it.

Termy Modded 17*!!!! the adrenalines are supposed to work pretty good, but i haven't run one and therefore can't give any insight on it. I just know how my Termy runs and i can't max it out with my mods.

Jacob,

If you really want an opinion, seek those with actual experience with an Adrenaline.

The overwelming opinion of those who have tried it, say it's the best thing they ever did.

The overwhelming opinion of those that have an agenda or wish to sell another option is the opposite.

Bob

I have the TE 17* hpop and love it. It's much cheaper and performs as good as anything that I'd ever need

I hear the Adrenaline is nice. It depends on the price range you are wanting to be in.

If you already have a 17° pump send it to Joey at TE to have him mod it. He is way cheaper and is a viable option.

I had a TE modded pump and liked it however I never ran an Adrenaline.
Now don't get me wrong Bob has quality stuff too.
As stated before you will get plenty opinions with this question.


The question for you is what mods do you plan on having and what size injectors.
Answer that and you will get a little more accurate answers.

No agend here, Bob, I don't even sell pumps.
And I'm not saying anything negative about your product. I just want to make sure the OP is educated and knows he's paying for a used pump if he gets an Adrenaline, since so many of the pump buyers I have talked with were not aware of that.

Jim,

You can stick to USED to describe your injectors and I'll stick to the facts about my pump. It is a remanufactered pump. It uses some reconditioned parts and some new. That is no different than ANY remanufactured part in the industry.

Are you the "pump police"? This is inching ever so close to slander. I have answered this question to you MANY times and the board members do see it. It is obvious that you do have an agenda.

Bob, no agenda here, I'm just helping to make sure the customer knows what he's getting. I know what I've been told by the people I've talked to, you can deny it or be threatened by it or whatever, I don't care.
I have no intention on crapping up another hpop thread, I've said all I need to.

On Edit: What did I say that makes you so defensive anyway? I said nothing negative about your pump. It's a reman pump and you even admit it's a reman pump. The OP basically asked for opinions and I gave him one.
Seems you're neverous about something and feel the need to defend your pump even when nothign bad was said about it.
Lighten up.

Yeah, that's it ... LOL

It's too bad that the some of the vendors in this business don't have the customer's best interest at heart. Seems like so many have so much to say about someone else's products instead of worrying about their own.

What a disservice to the community this is by vendors wanting to bash other vendors and their excellent products. Nice...

Anyone here want to trade their Adrenaline back in for a stock pump? Anyone here feel like I "left something out" of my description or "kept something from you" when you called to learn about the Adrenaline. No one has ever called me asking, wondering or worrying if my pump is used, remanned, magically created or any other thing. Most people read my site and ask what they can't find there.

jacob_powerhouse,

Would you like to try the Adrenaline before you buy anything? I've done a try before you buy on another site - no reason not to do it here. I can send you a link to the results on the other board if you would like.

In fact, anyone wanting that link please PM Jennifer and she'll shoot it to you. I get tired of people that have never used my pump thinking their opinion should have the same value as someone who has. I have no problem putting my money where my mouth is.

Sorry to trash on your thread Jacob, but this guy and a few others have been on several boards for the last few months trashing this pump every chance they get. While it sells me pumps when they trash me (funny, isn't it?) - it still sucks for the customers that it confuses. I really do apologize and am very happy to let you see for yourself before shelling out the dough. That should tell you that I know what the results of my pumps are and am very confident.

I've been around for years and the people on this board know that they can trust me. This pump ROCKS and no stock pump can come close to comparing in durability or performance.

Let me know,

Bob

Wow...

Show me any trash talk, or slander. I stated my opinion, Bob, of how I'd spend my hard-earned money.

Vendor vs vendor?
Wow.....

The term "New low" comes to mind...
I'm speachless....
