So far it is awesome. it has about 1700 miles on it so far. I have driven it for a shake down run and a couple other times and I think the combo is very balanced.
Some things and observations:
1. We used a stock 12V cam (PN 3929042) and gear, so the front cover and timing set are all VE. This also gave us the ability to run a mechanical lift pump.
2. We used the factory VP44 lines adapted with Tine-serts. Because we used the later style discharge valves (short) I had to massage the lines forward to connect to the pump.
(side note: I have .dxf files of adapters I designed)
3. We used +50hp 24V injectors, also from Scheid, and after running them with the factory VP44 pop pressure, pulled them and had them reset to the VE pressure. With the higher pressures, the engine sounded like it had a mechanical tick that was fairly loud.
4. I took Ryan's advice and gave it a 2-tooth bump.
5. We are using an H1C with an 18cm^3 housing and don't have any lag issues.
6. We have a bone stock 96 Dodge 12V/NV4500/4.10 truck in the fleet, and this 24V/NV4500/4.10 runs so much better in every way.
