LOVE my blue chip super X vp44

I just finished my install of my new airdog II 165 and BlueChip super X vp44 and ran my first full tank through it.

WOW!!!!!!!! My truck runs awesome and I got almost 29mpg running 60mph empty no wind and around town I am getting around 18mpg as long as I keep my foot out of my quadzilla.

I have to say the Blue Chip IJ pump is very good and the customer service is even better. I had my pump in 3 days minimal down time on my truck.

You pay a little more for the pump but I believe the extras are worth it.

Thanks Blue Chip

Get ready for all the $999 injection pump guys to tell you how stupid you were to buy a BC IP. I wanted a pump with a new computer and Chip had always been a great help to me with my truck. I am the proud owner of a Special X. Congrats on your purchase!

Stupid or not i consider it peace of mind and worth it for the customer service. besides its my money and I have been looking at pumps for about the past year and have heard both good and bad about alot of different pumps. I have heard of pumps lasting a week and I have heard of rebuilt pumps lasting 275,000 miles. So its kind of like gambleing at least I know 100% my pump has new electronics and a 1 year warranty.

Yeah I paid alot but hey the pump works I am happy with it and its great for what I need to do with it.

No different then people who put 6" lift kits on with 24" rims on a hummer that will never see dirt............ who knows I guess if I have the money and I wanna spend it on what ever pump I want I will.

But I want to thank everybody I have talked to about what ever pump they are running and I feel I made a good decision.

I have read what I could find on Blue Chips pumps, but it still eludes me how they can be so much better. I know I'm not all that knowledgeable, but what is it that makes these pumps so great ??

There are a bunch of good pumps out there and everybody is entitled to their opinion thats why this website is so great I can read peoples good and bad opinion on all pumps and I have read bad on blue chip and good on other pumps. I just like the piece of mind knowing everything on my pump other than the houseing is new.

I'm with you.....so far! I run a lot of fuel through my CTD, from time to time, and after two replacement pumps in 175,000 miles, I bgt a BlueChip. After 1 yr and 35,000 miles I am still very happy. Time, and miles, will be the deciding factor, but I was very impressed the one time I was able to discuss pumps with Chip! I suspect I will still be happy at 200,000 + miles.

Between big injectors and fueling boxes, I have enough extra fuel that I went with the 15X regular pump. Other than my injectors and the Smarty, I desire any additional fueling to be 'selectable'. But for those carrying less hp, the SuperX pump makes sense.

Blue Chip VP-44's have reported no failures that I'm aware of! I WONDER WHO HAS THE MOST MILES ON A BLUE CHIP PUMP???

For me it was understanding that the Bosch test equipment, used by rebuilders, is less that reliable.
Apparently Bosch has had as many problems with test equipment as we have with VP-44's.
So, I suspect, the parts replaced on a rebuilt pump may or may not be everything needed. This fact would explain why some rebuilts don't last long. Blue Chip VP-44's are completely rebuilt with new 'stuff'. And the include all the latest and greatest updates.... so better than original factory. JMO.

I put a blue chip in mine last fall and the truck pushed snow all winter,starts better,idles smoother,and improved overall driveability.Also wanted a pump with a new computer, I have relatively high underhood temps when plowing.
