You would think a stock cp3 in conjunction with the stock 6.4 would support just about any injector combo a person wanted. That's a lot of fuel, if you did upgrade the cp3, you wouldn't need one of the real heavy modded ones. I noticed Buddy said that some lb7 pumps might not be the best option, I wonder if the lb7 was modded if that would make it a better candidate? Hopefully the Empire guys make it over here and share some more information, I am really excited about this.

I'm running a stock CP3 and stock Ford pump. I maintain FRP no problem with 110 HP injectors. The American Ride is the same way, maintains pressure with much larger injectors than I. In my opinion Empire Diesel is a few steps behind Jeremy and Mike @ Kem performance. I think the results speak for them selves.

Which cp3 are you running Joe? And if you know, what about the American Ride? I didn't think an lbz flowed that much more than the lb7, that's quite the difference.

Joe how much was your setup? Ball park!? I'm interested In doing a cp3 kit on my truck As well

I'm pretty sure its from a LB7. It was purchased as a reman pump for next to nothing. I love cheap HP!

What does Bosch have over Seimens?

What you mean charles

Charles · May 19, 2011

Why would a person go to such lengths to switch pump manufacturers?

Dzchey21 · May 19, 2011

We are running stock Siemens pumps, along with a bosch CP3 belt driven, the reason is cost mostly

Is nobody offering stroked Seimen's pumps to the public as of yet? Or dual Seimens kits?

Seems like a stroker would be the simplest.

Industrial has one, thats pretty nasty, quiet a few people have run them with good luck, cab has to come off for it though, well i shouldnt say has to, this is also an option for even more fuel than what a stroked pump will put out

Ahhh.... keep forgetting y'all are rear drive M'fers. Makes sense why you would want to leave the stock pump alone now. Keep the modified sh*t out where you can get to it easy.

That was my exact thought when i went with it, industrials pump was just a rumor at the time too, so far its been reliable, but i feel alot better about a stock pump, not running 100% all the time being reliable, and splitting the load with the belt driven pump. Seams to work well no doubt, plus you have to mod a stock ford pump to run on the belt drive

Dustin do u have any pics of ur setup, im curious to see the differences between the K16 kit and the CP3 kit. My main concern is the clearence on the intercooler pipe.
