A-Pump on a first gen

[dsl kicks gas]

has anybody put a bosh a pump on a first gen? a lot of cummins came with a-pumps, but they were low hp(180) and governed at 2400(i think) the pump im looking at is off a automotive cummins so it has the rqv gov. and has 9.5 mm plungers. how would this be for performance. im sure stock for stock it would out perform a ve pump. but what about modded?

I doubt it will move as much fuel as your VE

Just stick with your stock ve or put a p pump on it. Those are two pumps that are known to work and make lots of power.

I recently put a p-pump on my 91 and couldn't be happier. The P-Pump delivers MUCH more fuel with much more responsive power. To date... The best mod that I have done on my truck!

If you know what your doing with a VE pump it'll leave a P-pump in the dust on the bottom end.

My theory is, get what you can get out of the VE then do the swap.

Dont put down 250hp with a VE pump and say "i quit" and put a p-thumper on...theres lots of free EASY stuff you can do to a VE to get good power, P-pump everthing costs money and is harder to get to, you gotta have special tools to adv. the timing on a p-pump

Yes, I agree. I don't discount the available power of the VE and enjoyed the easy cheap mods! I only decided to convert to the P-Pump after facing the cost of rebuilding mine and finding a great deal on a low mileage p-pump. Although it did cost more than a rebuild on the VE, it was money well spent in my book.
