so my 01's got 60k miles on it and seems to have less power than it did say the first 35-40k.so my warranty ended 3/4/05 due to it has been 5 years[no its not 7].so i ordered the comp box and a tsts grabber but have not hooked it up yet[the wire].i have isspro gauges showing 6-8 psi and a fresh pump.here's my question ,i ordered a scottys fuel flow kit and a stock afe-7 air filter replacement.will the scottys fuel kit and the afe stock filter work ok with a tapped wire???the only towing i do is a 10' camper and 16' sled boat???no other mods.

 

Sounds like a good combo. Most on this board do NOT use stock replacement filters, instead going with a full intake system. There's not enough added airflow to justify the cost of stock replacement, and the OEM filter box is known to not seal properly at times (which lets air bypass the filter).

Scotty's fuel kit is top notch, and I recommend it highly.

I'd recommend that you tap the wire using a Posi-Tap from Swenco Wiring Products. These are the folks that make the Posi-Locks that are so great. This will make an easy, secure connection that will hold up better than the Scotch-lok (easier on the pump wire).

The Grabber is good, but why pay $20 for something that a $1 Posi-Tap can do just as well (only it's smaller and more secure)??

i already have the grabber,it was 20.00.will the scotty system supply enough fuel???i,m not even sure the comp box is working??can i run around on a 5 setting??? temp seams fine since i,m not towing???any way to test it??can holes be drilled in the stock box?? p.s. i like the bd short shift kit....realy makes it easy to drive...bws

 

6-8psi. Is that with the new pump installed. I have a feeling that as soon as you tap the Ip wire your Vp44, it's going to die, if its not already dead. Call DC to ask for some goodwill assistance with the fuel pressure issue. They should since they know about the problems.

 

warrantys gone now.i,m on my own with the fuel issue.i ordered the scotty system but have not recieved it yet.i,m hoping this will give me enough pressure to tap the comp wire.brad

 

6 to 8 psi with a fresh pump i would be nevrous just driving around stock with those kinda numbers let alone tap the wire. i have a pump thats got like 9k on it and its putting out 16psi at idle with these lines .
