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...

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.

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.
