Ok guys I'm seriously considering performing a cp3 swap. I'm on the fense about running a stock pump or something like a sportsman 750. I remember back when floor it was doing stroker pumps but they didn't last for shit. Are the new designed cast pumps from say fleece more reliable or should I just get a new Bosch and roll with it? I want low 600's out of her so I'm not looking for huge power, I was just thinking with the higher flowing piezo injectors more fuel may be necessary or at least beneficial...

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm curious if you are doing this for power or reliability. The cp4s scare the crap out of me, personally.

If I was you I'd do a new stock LBZ pump. Exergy has the best pumps out right now, so I've heard, but for reliability and hp range you're shooting for I'd say new LBZ pump.

Who sells a stock pump, but it's been modified to not restrict fuel over 3200rpm? That's the one id get.

Floor-it made of the best pumps out there. I believe he taught exergy how to do it. I heard he is still making them but in a different shop.

I was told by the Exergy salesman that either the 10mm or 12mm modded pumps would be as reliable as a stock pump.

We have several customers with 10mm pumps that have logged some good amounts of street mileage, so i wouldn't be worried one bit to run a 10mm single on a street truck.
Remember the 10mm pump is only going to have to run at maybe 75% load to achieve 600hp, while the stock LBZ pump is going to run 95-100% load to achieve your 600hp goal... Something to take into consideration.

I happen to have an Exergy 10mm cp3 for sale. It has 310 miles on it and would come with gear. I paid $2300.00 would like $1850.

I went with a stroker from Fleece.

Are the strokers known to whine? At low rpm when throttling to about 30% I get a high pitched whine which I'm attributing to the newly installed CP3 as I never heard the noise before.

why would anyone be scared of the cp4? seems like bosch updated the pumps quickly and there are very few failures on newer trucks

I think it's more of the fact that they can't support what a cp3 will h.p wise. That along with the failures that have happened.

stock for stock, I thought the hp was very comparable on max effort? maybe not, i haven't really kept up with it as I'm not modding my LML.

No the CP4 can only support 550 rwh and reliability is an issue with them. It's not like they're blowing left and right, just when you're out of warranty people are opting for the better and cheaper solution of replacing with a more robust cp3 in the event the cp4 ever went.
