Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) stock LP pressure and GPH ratings?

[JamesSimpson]

Does anyone know what these figures are? I have tried to search the forum and I guess Im not using the right lingo. I was just wanting to know what the stock LP puts out to the vp44 i need PSI and GPH (gallons per hour). Or better yet what will the stock vp44 handle?

The stock lift pump is rated at 15 psi & 100 gph.

This link will give you the minimum flow rate and pressure ratings for the lift pump.

There have been reports of hard starts when pressure is maintained during startup. (The reason for the 2 sec. pluse on initial key on. ) The 44 has an internal relief valve but I assume that it is used as a safety bypass. My LP idles at 14 and runs down to 8. I figure that as long as pressure is there the flow will be adequate. Hope this helps.
