FASS or HPFP?

[mark_brown3930@msn.com]

Probably has been asked many times before but I couldn't find it. I have a 2002 CTD, auto trans. that I tow a 10K fifth wheel with. I don't plan on ever doing much power mods, maybe a SMARTY or EDGE and possibly injectors at most for a little more oomph for towing and more fun to drive. I figure the FASS 95 would be the most I should get but would there be that much advantage to get that full system or to save some money and just get the 95 HPFP? Also am I correct that the 95 gph would probably be best for me instead of the 150 which might be overkill and maybe cause other problems such as hard starting? I have been told that all that I should probably need is the HPFP especially since there is a good chance that the most I might do is only the SMARTY. I imagine the air separation and filtration system provided by the FASS would be the best but I would have way better than stock with just the HPFP..right?? Does the stock system do anything to remove air from the fuel system or is that only acheived with a FASS type set up? Is air that much of a concern with a stock or with just mild power upgrades? I want to order one or the other this week so I can put it on before a trip in March. Please help me make up my mind!

I have almost the same rig but its a manual. I have the FASS 95/150 love it. Great system. Easy install. The mods that you have listed is basically the same thing I'm shooting for.

We push the full systems more than the HPFP. The main reason is the filters and dong away with the stock filter setup. That way you have 30000 mile change on the filters instead of the puny little stock filter.

I have a 2002 with a 6 speed and I added a 95 HPFP last summer and it works great, I wouldnt think you would need more than that, it is a huge improvment over stock, just real noisy.
