A friend of mine just installed a drag comp on his 99. He said it is sluggish and blows very little smoke. Has anyone had these problems?

Has he tapped the pump yet?

If he has tapped it does he have any codes? (VP dying)

Could be apps too.

What fuel pressure does he have? I bet his lift pump is bad & a VP44 is in the near future.

Yes it is tapped. he doesn't have guages yet. I told him he needs to get his fuel pressure checked.

pmtg

did he tap the correct wire?

Well there isn't much we can do without gauges. That will kinda tell us what to look for.
Putting on a Drag Comp and not having gauges
Tell him he needs to get a FP gauge ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not get it checked but get a gauge. It could be fine at idle but suck it dry at WOT. Don't know without a gauge.

He is planning on getting gauges asap. just waitng till he has the $$$$$.

J Lent

Tell him not to turn that box on until he gets the gauges in or he will need alot more money, like $1100 for vp44 & $200 for a lift pump. Just trying to help.

Gauges first! ALWAYS!

Then power it up.
