Vapor Lock?

I just moved to Aurora Co from North Carolina. I have been romping around town(a little more smoky than before) and with the aggresive tunes i can get the truck to die if I hit the throttle hard and let off. I let the truck sit for a about 5 secs and then it'll start right up, no codes, and the truck doesn't seem to run any different. Is this a huge problem?

Its common with VP's and large injectors. Surprised you never had this issue before.

the only way to avoid the problem is to feather the throttle when comeing out of a WOT pull for any length of time, stab the clutch and free rev it until your sure it won't die when you re-engage the clutch. you just learn to drive around the problem. and it'll still bite you every now and again.

haven't installed it, it's still sitting over at chris's place in north carolina. Im in Aurora Colorado and my 62/12 isn't spooling very well, probably gonna sell it and step up to a full size s400 for a good twin setup.

That's too bad, I really wanted to see how that charger would have run in your truck but I know the high alt. would be no fun. I don't think you'll have a problem selling it.
