FAQ
How much power will this add?With the right supporting injectors (~120HP+), lift pump, and tuning, customers typically see an additional 80–100 HP compared to a stock VP44.
Do I need a bigger lift pump?Yes—150 GPH or larger is strongly recommended to maintain VP44 case pressure and longevity, especially under higher fueling.
Will it run on stock injectors?It will operate, but to take full advantage of the Hot Rod VP44’s fueling, plan on ~120HP injectors or larger with proper airflow and monitoring.
Is tuning required?Tuning and/or fueling boxes can optimize performance and drivability. Always monitor fuel pressure and EGT when increasing power.
