and ill best answer for anyone that can let me know some of their insights as how to pump or dump AK based on the flop you receiver.

Funny you should ask this question because Learn to Win Holdem.com is currently committed to doing two newsletters on Ace-King. The BEST strategy for playing Ace-King is by position. Let me give you snippet from our most recent newsletter, Playing Ace-King in Early Position:
"Ace-King is a monstrous hand that most players wish for… ON THE OTHER HAND, it can in fact be a TERRIBLE hand if you do not know what you are doing. It can be terrible if…
You go "all in" (or bet a sizable stack of chips) before the flop, and the flop comes up rags. On the other hand,
You catch an Ace or King on the flop, bet a lot of chips, but then are run down by your opponent who gets a better hand.
Since even a pair of DEUCES can beat Ace-King by itself, you do not go all-in with Big Slick before the flop with numerous players in the game.
It is more often than not too risky. The reason is there are too many hands, which can beat you.
Going all-in with Ace-King pre-flop is the comparable to saying, " I'm not that certain I can win this tournament, so I'm HOPING to get LUCKY and gamble all my chips on the PROBABILITY that an Ace or King hits, or that my Ace high wins."
Obviously that is not ALWAYS the case (especially if you are short-stacked), but for the most part it is true.
The second circumstance — being run down by another player even though you hit your Ace or King- can be SOMEWHAT annoying……"
