I ran a 14.0 in my truck on 40" tires and 4.10 gears with a 5lb boost launch. My truck has plenty of power but I am ready for a bigger pump now. I just need a sponsor 
They will put out some fuel too. Not as much as a 215, but plenty still.

You cant install bigger plungers very easily. You have to bore each cylinder of the pump out 1mm, and then it all has to be installed right. Not exactly a do it yourself thin. A 160 or 175 pump will make good power if you spend some time tinkering and setting them up right.

I agree, you can get fuel out of a 160 or 175 pump, it's all about how much $$ you want to spend. I would say that the hp limits of these pumps depends on your budget.

This truck belongs to a buddy of mine. It has a 160 pump & he has won about every sled pull he has entered this year. He doesn't have the most hp in the world, but he is putting the power to the ground.

i put my truck on the dyno last weekend, it made 292hp and 777tq, im getting a different plate sometime this week that might bump the horses a bit. when i get .022's, turbo and better fuel flow i think i might be in the 400hp range
