Talking I'm P-pumped!

Piston-pumped that is!

Picked up a low pressure pump for cheap and got it put on today. What a difference! Smoke is blacker and I picked up 4psi in boost as well! I could pull one of the local hills in 5th at 80 and punch it and hit triple digits easy.

The 2yo diaphragm pump definitely wasn't cutting it.

Services for my KDP will be held tomorrow night as well.......

Nope. Not a real P-pump but this piston pump is great. I put on some big lines also. Lp to filter and filter to Ip are all -6 lines now. No banjos.... It was a tight fit getting the -6 fitting on the lp outlet. Gotta trim quite a bit of the tappet cover insulator but there's room for a 90* fitting there.

So is it a P pump lift pump. Or a low pressure lift pump? If its a P pump L/P then what/how do you have your regulator set up? I'm wanting to go with that setup. I found a boost referanced regulator for cheap but I know you always get what you pay for!

Low pressure piston lift pump. I've got one of the simflo bypass regators in my tool box for use someday when I go bigger. I just happened to have the money for the deal I found in the classifieds on here and jumped on it. Someday I'll go bigger.......

Neat. Might just have to do that. Still waiting on a FP gauge first, now that I have my 4-gauge pillar pod (almost) done. Looks like I let the cat outta the bag there. lol
