Just found out some interesting info on the CP3 fuel system

[FDavid]

Apparently, according to Cummins, the CP3 is is good for 800hp. Only requirements to max the hp rating are larger fuel lines, and a big pusher pump. The 800 hp is doable through the stock Cummins fuel filter/water separator assembly as well. Thats interesting because now I see no reason to bypass the stock fuel filter/water separator assembly when i slap on the airdog. Just thought I would share for those that didnt think the injection rail could handle that much.

Banks pulled off 700+ with their sidewinder which has the CP3. I think they used the stock fuel filter also.

So is it the high pressure or the low pressure lines that are too small? I have a FASS so it should be making 800 hp right?

measured where

was the horse power talked about from cummins and banks measured at the flywheel or the rear wheels? That could make a huge difference.

 

[johncameron]

I think it's flywheel HP.

Cummins advises their fuel system is capable of supplying fuel for up to 800 horsepower, which will hopefully be adequate for our needs. Dyno testing has pulled 700+ horsepower from our modified 5. 9L beast!

I have questioned a few guys about that after reading it on Bank's website last year,general concensus was that it was a special pump built by Cummins for Banks just like the motor was as well. Mark from T. S. T. was the first I heard this info from. I would like to believe it can make 800 h. p. and it seems guys are getting more and more power out of theses all the time with different injectors and boxes and still using the stock pump.
