How far can a 180 pump go?

Looking at doing a p-pump conversion on the 24v, since that 12v I was trying look at just isn't panning out. So time to ask the experts. Anyway, found two sources for 180 hp pumps of 98 trucks. I know finding a 215 would be a ideal, but just doesn't seem to be in the cards right now. I tried searching this, but didn't have much luck

So to the point, how much can a 180 hp pump put down and still have decent manners? My truck as it sits probably puts down around 350-375 hp (we'll know for sure next weekend). The one pump I'm looking at already has a #8 plate and 3k GSK in it. Am I gonna be about par swapping them, or need more fuel to get back to where I was. My end goal at this point is probably 600 hp, but that will be over time. Thanks for any info.

Your going to need more fuel than that to get 375 HP, a 10 or 100 plate, and some mild injectors with a little extra timing would get you there.

There are alot of people that make 400-500+ on a 180 pump. Look up Bobcat698, his truck is one the side of over fueled, and he puts down around 500. His truck is a 12valve thought. just my 2cents

A 180 should get you well over 500 if you can spin to 4000RPM, and have the air for it!
