In short, yes.... You are possibly asking for trouble.

Tapping the wire really increases the need for the supporting hardware-- better fuel deliver, gauges, etc..

Yah. It's allready seriously hurt.

You need a pump BAD! Just with the COMP it is on teh ragged edge of needing a pump, and with 140HP injectors, it's wayy past that point.


You aren't asking for trouble, you have allready asked, now it's up to the parts as to when the trouble is delivered.
