which part took the most time?

I'm about to order a VP with and air dog setup? I'm not even sure what's involved with an air dog setup..do I need to drop the tank? I'm only looking at a stock truck and not much more. stock is all I need..
I would like to only replace the VP once! at the moment I'm not looking forward to the first time I replace the VP..I'm sure I can handle what needs to be done, but its all those other little..oops!! followed by...******it..the job just got larger.

Mocking everything up its like installing twice and working around hydroboost is a real pita......I took all origional equipt. off too. My truck is a reg. cab theres not alot of room to install between tank and case on inside of frame I took there supplied mount ,cut it down and welded it to frame but I got it in there....Tryed to hide it best as I could....don't want to be out $500 overnite Order a drawstraw vulcans mounts inplace of origional sender line no tank drilling and it has a return port built in it. Also if your fuel gauge is foobarred its time fix that also If you drop tank or take box off witch is how I did mine

A buddy and I put my airdog fp80(a little older model but still similar to the fp 100) on my truck in about 1 1/2 hours start to finish. I have a flatbed on my truck so that might make it a bit easier. I did not remove the tank and was able to drill a hole in the highest spot on the tank for the draw tube, use grease on the bit so plastic does not fall in the tank. drilled holes and bolted the unit to the frame of my bed and ran the line to the injection pump. It was very easy and the instructions from air dog were very helpful!
