With the curent tune of the 6BT in my sig, I feel the diaphram lp is holding me back more than anything. I have a H1C/WH1E hybrid about ready to go on, but I am getting a slight miss during heavy fueling. I do plan to step up to a super HX40, and or maby twins some time down the road and would like to upgrade accordingly.

So, on the subject of lift pumps, what do yall advise????? :grin:

Depends on what you want to do, up to 400 hp a piston lift pump is the way to go. If you want to go all out, run an A-1000 with a boost referenced regulator. Another option is to run both the piston lp and walbro together.

The truck is my daily driver, so I can't afford to have it down for 2 or 3 days until I get parts. Is there a kit for plumbing the piston lp into the VE system with out needing to spend days hunting fittings? Or do I need to mock up a kit? :lol:

Link doesn't work, but there is a list of part numbers for everything you need floating around somewhere, maybe one of the other guys will be kind enough to get it to you.

Piston pump install:

Here's a link over to a wright up on how to do the piston pump install that was posted over on DTR. It's a good wright up with pictures and the part numbers. I did this upgrade on my truck, it's definitely worth the time and really only takes about an hour. I was able to cut the insulation that needs to be removed with a box knife.

As the others have said, the piston lift pump is the way to go.

I think that everybody is thinking weird.

I'll take this ISX fuel pump mounted on the air conditioning mounting bracket, with a serpentine pulley instead of the gear.

I'll feed it directly into the shut-off solenoid hole, cap off the vane pump outlet, remove the vanes, put an electronic or boost-referenced regulator on the return of the pump, or play with orifice sizes until I find one that works.
