ksb questions

[seeker1056]

Just so I am clear becuase i have read in various places that it is both ways, or that some years were different etc etc - so for the 93 VE is the ksb providing timing when no power to it, or with power to it?

Can it be run under power for 18-22 seconds for a truckkpull without damaging the pump?

I am thinking every little bit of extra power will help for when i go PP and VP chasin this spring.

I am the only Ve pumped truck out there in my area

The 93 KSB needs to be energized for the additional timing. 18-22 seconds is less than I have ran mine and still no failures that's with the pump already against the head.

how much fuel pressure do you run?

I am told that ksb timing makes case pressure go way up, and added fuel pressure makes it more so?

How much can the case withstand before failure?
thanx

I wouldn't make a habit of running around with it energized, but for track or dyno use there really isn't any issue.

There's a thread with case pressures posted, no load and loaded case pressures are very different.

The late KSB has a pressure relief that dumps the pressure like normal if pressure exceeds a certain value. Therefore you don't need to worry about damaging your case from running it like that. The bigger danger is creating excessive heat in the pump and causing the plunger to seize, so beaware of that.

i've ran the ksb for 20 mins before, got hot but no problems

ive had my case pressure to 320psi maby 330psi, was running to shut truck off so ?? on the exact, and it didnt split, FORD said he spit his around 320psi but ??????, mines still in one piece
