I am looking for a pomp and was wondering for a 2001 dodge should i look at the hot rod or the monster pump.
 
Depends on what you are looking to do with the truck... ... ... ?

Every VP option out there has good points and bad. If we know what you want to do with the truck, we can probably give a little better direction.
 
SO. Makes the same power as a HRVP with a wire tap box and it doesn't have a lopey idle. Monster pump is very expensive and unproven.
 
I have the scheid hot rod and love it, mine had a terrible idle when it was the only thing done to the truck, as it was the first performance part put on it. But with the sizable injectors that are in it and the few other mods i have it sounds stock , just a tiny difference you can hear just from timing, and its something you have to listen for. from what i see the monster is junk, there is a thread on the dodge comp forum tj just stuck one on like last week and he wasnt happy so far... give me some time to think about it, i might sell you my scheid, i may go the p-pump route...:Cheer:
 
I like my Monster just fine. but which pump u chose is based on what u want ur truck to do. DD? all-out puller? drag truck?
 
monster pumps are so hit or miss its not funny. some run good, the one i tried is a turd tho, my SO pump performs better all around compared to the monster junk i mean pump.
 
im glad you tried that thing out, saved me some time and money, i believe im going to go the p pump route as well!! the more i think about it the more i want it, i bet that after the season of 2009 there will be a rule that doesn't allow p pumped 24v trucks in the street class in mtn st.:hehe: i would be more than happy to cause such a rule, but isnt it fair as long as the duramax and cr guys get twin cp3s?
 
My monster pump seems to run very well and supplies plenty of fuel! i cant complain about mine

Then I would look at options other than the Monster pump. From what I've heard, you have to replace the injectors with THEIR injectors when you run the Monster pump. Just an additional cost to consider.

The good ole SO pump should work for what you are looking to do. These pumps were rated at less HP from the factory than the HO pump (found on 6-speed trucks). If you have a 5-speed or an automatic, you already have the SO pump. Just find a replacement. If you have a 6-speed, you have the HO pump. Some shops will try to tell you that you cannot run an SO pump on an HO truck. They are full of ****. Don't take your business to a place that claims something like that. However, many places DO charge an additional core charge when you go from an HO pump to an SO pump.

There are various "hot-rod" pumps out there that you can consider. I've heard good things about II hot rod pump. Personally, I'm running an SHO pump from Rip at Source Automotive. On stock HO injectors, I've made a scosh over 350hp and 885lbft of torque. I'm sure the pump has pleanty left, just need a bigger set of sticks.

If you have already fried an injector pump, it is probably also time to look at the lift pump. There are pleanty of options out there (FASS, Air Dog, Holley, etc) but you need to be getting a good, constant flow of fuel to help protect the new injector pump. I would add that to your "must have" list along with a new injector pump. Then, you can start looking at things like injectors, turbos, etc. etc.
 
I ran a Scheid Lightning and had ZERO complaints. Its on another truck now and still running strong. I am going the P-Pump route or else I would still run it. We have one monster pump truck here that Redstroke built and it runs strong, but I have no "personal" experience with them.
 
With My monster I run a different set of Sticks other than the ones from Mike. I really like mine. I got it through a Trade though and diddn't spend hardly any money on it. If i had to spend the whole Price i'd go a different route but as far as it performing I am really pleased with it. Not sure what ppl are talking about as far as it not being proved. With No chips it puts out over 500hp.
 
i run a hrvp... and love it. it does lope but i like that. i drive the truck on the street and tow up to 10k with it, no issues. with drag comp i got 451hp with water it made 500hp. put about 15k miles and no problems. smokes like CRAZY, even with the comp and smarty off!
 
I run a II hrvp for the past 3 years and I love it. I put down 512 with some 100 hp sticks this spring. Now I am looking to go larger, maybe 150 or 175.
