I'm sorry. Did I miss something? ... ...I'm really curious about that. Or would it be the "hypermax has a $17,000 kit you can buy" kind of discussion. Which takes us back to insanity again, where nothing happens.
OK, Mel.... I believe you missed my point. Late_99 asked about putting a different type of injection pump on an IDI, and I believed that he asked about an 8 cylinder P-Pump style pump. I was simply showing and example of putting a pump on an engine that was not designed for that engine. I remembered the hypermax conversion for the 7.3 PSD and showed it as an example, and the kind of $$$$ they were asking for it. I was not telling him is was not possible, and not to try. I was showing an example of a 8 cyl P style pump is out there. I say more power to him to try to make big numbers with an IDI. Wither with Super Moose stuff, a DB2/DB4 hybrid, some type of inline pump, or 55 gallon barrel and a garden hose shoved down the intake (I know that will not work) but by all means try. We have the one member that is trying, the one with the exotic head gaskets that Hypermax used on their high power IDI back in the day.... so do not think I am saying go by a kit and do it. Remember Trav and I are like brothers, and I was there with all the trials and tribulations with E-1 and his experimentation, and I would say it is safe to say, at that point in time, he had probally the most powerful IDI on the street. But we all know the cost of his experiments. He killed 3 IDI's.... but he made some headway. So no, I am not saying to try, yes try to do things that have not been done. I think even dyoung is making headway.... but he knows the risks, and admits that he knows the risks. Yet he gets beat on for abusing his truck. Well if that is the case, then Trav was abusing these trucks long before dyoung ever thought about it. Sorry, but I understand people wanting to get more power from these trucks. But, it costs money. We all have responsibilities, and they come first. I do myself, and I could have a 500hp fire breathing dragon, but when I break it at that power, then my family is stranded, and I am not willing to do that, or take food off the table to fix the truck. So I will keep my truck stock, running well, doing everything I ask it to do, and not be the fastest vehicle on the road. Just my opinion.......
