I’m looking into getting a Good HPOP

[alabamafrog]

I ran some tests with my predator today and it looks like I’m only getting around 2,200 psi out of my HPOP with the chip on max so anyone have any suggestions on a good aftermarket one that will get me back up to around 3,000 and not break the bank?

I think the only fix for that is to run dual hpops. Pricey though. There was talk at one time about a single hpop setup to keep up with the demands of a custom chip or tuner but not sure of the specifics. Pm CSIPSD I think he will know or point you in the right direction.

Swamps has a single pump that is like 1500. Its called the Gen 3.

Yea I looked at the swamps one but I really don't want to spend that much so soon after the over 2Gs for the tranny and 4Gs for the engine. I was hoping I could find a way out for less than 500. I have a spare HPOP I picked up a few years ago but have no idea if it is good or not. I may have to try that before shelling out another $1500.

I'm thinking of tearing apart my spare HPOP and seeing if I can modify it to be more better.

Okay, maybe not such a good idea, these things do not come apart like normal rotary piston pumps and the swash plate is not adjustable like in most pumps. If anyone is curious here is what an HPOP looks like on the inside.

about the only thing you can do w/o breaking the bank is upgrade to a late model hpop.

a little off topic, but i just looked thru your "My powerstroke pics" and all i can say is WOW. You did a great job of taking pictures of that motor while it was apart. I think many people on this site would find those pictures to be very interesting and helpful for those who dont really know that the "inside" of a 7.3l looks like. Great job!

Is a late model 17* HPOP a worthwhile upgrade from the 15* that he and I are both plagued by on our early 99s? Is $400 good as far as cost to benefit ratio?

Hybrid injectors are designed to run efficiently with a 17* pump. When you try to run them with a 15* pump the truck falls on its face.

Most 17* pumps will run up to 3K when new. After it is broke in, it should will hold 2800-2850 all day long for a few years. For the money, the 17* pump is a darn good upgrade. Nothing like big oil but a good upgrade.
