it could be faster on 4/4. the tst will drop fuel pressure to 0 leaving the rail without fuel with the stock lift pump. then add the ez trying to boost rail pressure, without fuel to do so. I think many CR cummins guys should be thankful the cp3 does not fail like the vp44 did when subjected to low fuel pressures. any vibration with it? get worse slowing down?

You need to turn the EZ down to level 2 or 3. That's way too much pressure and you are sucking the fuel rail dry. You need a FASS or some other aftermarket fuel pump too if you're gonna run that stack. I run my EZ on level 3 and can go up to 6/6 on the TST before I start running out of fuel....

You probably are defueling too. Mine did it real bad until I got a BD Power Top Speed Eliminator which stops the defueling....

I have a gauge on mine and the lift pump will not keep up. I am pretty sure TST even says you will need a lift pump above 4. the fass has no problem , have one a 600 hp truck and its the 95gph. I have the aluminum fuel filter top with the FP reading off it.

So even with the FASS you run out of fuel?
