hot rod vp44

Is there any way of telling if a used pump is a hot rod pump or not?I found one at a junk yard for $650.The guy said the truck this pump was on had a rough idle but ran good.thought it might be one

"Hot Rod" pumps are rebuilt Injection pumps that are modified to produce ~80 HP more than a stock pump.
I loooove mine.

There are a few rebuilders performing this service.
Industrial Injection and Turbo Service (the one I chose) is one, BlueChip Diesel is another....there are others.

Usually around $600 more than a stock pump.
