Question TST Power Max 3 and Map Sensor???!

I want to know if I can still run normal without my map sensor I have a TST Powermax 3 , Right now it will barely smoke and I am looking for a cheap solution for the problem without going through another VP44 or lift pump



99 24 Valve, 2nd Auto trans , Power Max 3 , 4 inch down pipe duel Stacks , 4 inch Sky Jacker Suspension, Viper Hood, Tow Mirrors, 3rd Vp44 and Lift pump , 37 inch Goodyear's

You need to have the map sensor plugged in on your TST for it to work correctly. You can't disconnect it like you can the Edge Comp. I know I lost a LOT of smoke when I switched from a comp to a TST. I for one was thrilled about that.

Trash bag over your intake...

Constant smoke is bad for the enviroment and our hobby as a whole because of the damadge it does to our image on a whole.

What does your fuel pressure look like, you should have plenty of fuel for somke.

Might be already screwed but since it's the only one we got we need to save it. I'm all for blowing black clouds but I don't run around doing it. I try and drive with as little smoke as humanly possible.

I hate when my truck smokes. It`s quite, clean and fast.
I had some guy with a 2500 Dodge Ram gas job with loud exhaust, jacked way up and over sized tires pull up next to me at a red light.
Well with all the noise that crap wagon made, I knew exactly what he was up to. He tried to race my Clean, Quite Diesel.
But when the light changed I quietly and cleanly left him behind me...

Agree completely!
Of course there is nothing wrong with having a little fun , but smoking folks in town at intersections is like said above.....not good for our image on a whole and in the end not
Since I put on my Comp I see a little smoke but I don't try to be Cool and smoke people.
