Definatly install a low fuel pressure light or gauge. Like DieselWrencher said the VP is a good setup for low HP but the achiles heal is the lift pump. Many Dodges got new injection pumps from the lift pump crapping out. The injection pump will still work but will eat itself in short order without the lift pump feeding it. Other than that you can't really go wrong. Decent power, reliable, and good mileage.
