swapping to a 12mm head

[truckinwagen]

while dave did make 200 HP on a 9mm pump, I think(from what he posted) he did that to see how much power could be made with a stock bottom end and injection system.

it does not mean that modding the injection system will not help make more power.

I am running the whole cummins pump(which is a DI motor) and it runs great, it does not have the throttle response of a cadillac, but nothing else about my car is like a cadillac anyway.

i think if you wanted to owen, you could mod a VW style governor to work with your pump and make it a little more like how normal automotive pumps are. instead of having the big rig feel, unless of course you like that feel.

I dont mind the big rig feel, but I already tried to stick a VW governor spring assembly in it, and it interferes with some of the pump top and LDA stuff, I would have to get a VW LDA pump top to make that work...

whats keeping you from doing it? lack of funds? or lack of interest to do so?

[truckinwagen]

no TD pumps kicking around, and why spend top dollar(what everyone wants for an old leaky TD pump) just to use the top?

the throttle is not bad, just different, so I spend my money elsewhere.

thats pretty much what i figured. its stupid how everyone thinks that a turbo ip is worth its weight in gold.

[truckinwagen]

yeah, im not sure why people insist that old unknown condition pumps are worth more than a core charge.

I don't have plans to swap the pump top and throttle assembly, but I do plan on swapping in the VW advance and cold start assembly to make the timing curve match better

but other than that, I am happy with the performance of the pump, even with the DI camplate.

well thanks for your guys input i think im just going to stickto the stock pump with a gov mod and boost pin and crank her up abit and see how every thing goes any more a guy could do to get the most out if it?
