190k miles on the engine. Wondering if I should replace the cp3 while I have everything apart, or just swap the fpr out for an lbz one?

if you plan to run dual fuelers down the road, pull it and put a new one in its place. then hold on to the one you have and run it as the second pump. im still on two stock pumps, one with 190k, other with 130k and it still holds 26k rail on 3000uS tune.

if you dont plan on duals, dont mess with it

its good for an increase in rail if your running out but will need a retune for it. if you dont mind the retune, id throw it in now that its easy to get to right now

x2. If you have a FPR for cheap, and don't mind re-scaling the table (it is easy), I also vote that you throw one in.

I put a LBZ FPR in my LB7 when I was still on the stock pump and 60% sticks. It helped a good amount, but is no substitute for a dual-fueler or modded pump.

As a reminder, a new FPR will not extend the life of the pump or work wonders. Sooner or later the stock pump will not be up to the task. That being said, I got just shy of 300k miles on mine before it was starting to drain the rail too badly. So the LBZ FPR bought me another ~70k miles of usable power.
