Smart butt here!

Defuel means the program actually starts to cut back the fuel delivered by the pump to the engine for "safety" reasons. This is the "dummy down" that DMC has built into the Cummins we buy in the Dodge truck, or we could hurt ourselves. We buy the dummy downed version, then spend the rest of our time trying to get the most power we can out of an engine that can deliver with very few mods.

Make sence?

Makes perfect sense!!!

For example... On my Edge Juice with Attitude, when my EGT's hit a certain temp, or my TC starts to slip, the Edge will defuel so that you don't fry what little you got all at once.

No stupid questions here, cept for the ones that are not asked!
