the S&S and the Fueling pumps are both very nice and VERY similar in build quality i have used both. choose the one that makes you feel the best on the inside, cause they both perform so close that there is no one clear winner. choose the entire cam plate package, i dont think these can be mix and matched,,,make sure you read all the fine print.

Agree with Dan but if the OEM pump but if money is burning a hole in your pocket, the S&S. Agree with marco, plate, pump and all associated hardware from the same source.

I like the fact that the S&S has the three vanes and can see the advantage over the OEM, and the fact that one can unscrew the passage plugs. I’m planning to go that route. I am also going to go with the quickie pushrods.

From what I’ve been told, the Fueling is a bit heavier duty, but my application (117 with a mild cam) won’t need it.

I have had both on twin cam's and the S&S is better even on a stock cam plate. Hot idle is higher. If you get the cam plate the oil pressure is adjustable. I tried to run a stiffer spring and it made crazy(bad) pressure, so had to go back to stock spring. The fueling didn't do that, can run heavy spring and doesn't make to much psi.

Thats why I mentioned it but if they make a awesome pump for TC then most likely they did the same for M8.
