I've only noticed a shudder once one mine. I've only had the comp for a couple of months now, but have yet to have a problem with it.

 

OK!
I was wrong above anyway.... the PM3 is rated at 135 hp. (15 hp per setting x 9 settings). I get 120 hp on my automatic. The Comp only adds 30 hp max for me, so far, on the dyno!

May be a function of bigger injectors only?? Many others, before me, have noted the shudder. Pulls hard, as long as you stay on it, but no amount of gradual release will avoid it from WOT!

I can get the shudder and BAD! But the only time I get it is if I back out of the throttle quickly BEFORE the turbo has fully lit. If the turbo is lit and boost is up, I can snap out of the throttle, no problem. But if I have it floorboarded and the coal is rolling, but the turbo hasnt lit yet and then roll out of it, it shudders real bad. I am convinced that the shuddering is NOT the pump cavitating, but the engine shuddering from buring the residual fuel left in the cylinders in an un controlled and un timed fashion. It actually sounds very cool but I dont suppose its the best thing for the engine.

copied directly off of the tst products. com website. it takes off 100 hp and 140 lb-tq just because i have a HO?? well whats the regular pm3 give a HO?

 

I have heard that the regular PM3 only adds 80 Hp to an HO as well.

 

The regular PM3 gives 80-90 RWHP. I got 93 RWHP on mine if memory servse me right.

 

Mark Chappel told me 80-90hp, and that the CE on an HO may add "area under the curve", but no PEAK gain over the regular pm3.

The weenie HO vp is simply maxed out with the regular PM3, so pushing it harder gets you nothing.

That said, you should still be able to get ~500hp pretty easily with a TST and some decent sticks, assuming enough air.....

With my current setup on the normal TST, I'm not seeing a difference between level 4 and level 9.

The 434 in my sig was done on level 4 and my level 9 run only made 429.

 

here is a stupid question but i have to ask, was a HO automatic available in 98.5 to 2000

 

no the only H.O. models were in 01 and 02, with a 6spd

 

cool deal wasnt sure if they were even available for those years thanks a million............so how is that TSTcomp treatin you CTD

 

It is good, i like it alot, have not had to much time to drive the truck around, i usally get my seat time with it on the weekends and drive the 1990 toyota 4runner for work during the week. I am looking forward to the weekend to get out and play with it some more. Did you order yours?

 

waiting till friday. if i still have no offers on my DRAG comp then i am just going to keep it and sell it at a later time if any. so i am going to order friday and i will have it for next weekend.
