    Helpful Notes

    • Fuel Pressure: Consistent supply to the VP44 is critical; use a quality lift pump and add a pressure gauge or warning light.
    • Plumbing: Frame-mounted pump kits often use a 1/2" draw straw or sump and route directly to the VP44 with minimal restrictions.
    • Injectors: Hot nozzles can raise EGT and smoke; match injector size to turbo/airflow and your usage (tow, street, race).
    • Sealing: Replace connector tubes and injector seals when doing injectors to prevent return leakage and hard-starts.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What’s the best first upgrade for VP44 longevity?

    Install a reliable lift pump and add a fuel pressure gauge/light to catch drops early.

    Do I need a draw straw or sump with a frame-mounted lift pump?

    Most performance kits include or recommend a draw straw/sump for unrestricted supply, especially with higher GPH pumps.

    Should I replace connector tubes with new injectors?

    Yes—refreshing connector tubes and the seal kit helps ensure proper seating and leak-free operation.

    What’s special about the CPP wire-tap-friendly VP44?

    It’s designed for fueling box integrations while maintaining coverage—see the CPP VP44 Wire Tap Friendly Pump for details.

    Can I convert to a P7100 (“P-pump”)?

    Yes, for advanced builds we offer a complete P7100 conversion kit. It’s a significant change best suited to race/competition use.
