anyone have a problem with the combo not making power? my drag comp just is not making a big diff from it being of an on. it blows more smoke when on but not a noticeable diff in power. i heard the comp does not like the hot rod pumps . tried buddys comp an sAAME THING NO DIFF!the wire is tapped by one of those blue chip pump covers. CAN THE WIRING HARNESS BE BAD? I DONT SEE WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH IT, EDGE CHECKED IT AN SAID IT WAS FINE. truck is only doin 438 rwhp. should be 500easy. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :{ :{ :{ :{ :{i was doing better runnig the stock vp bd 5 an tst comp. i guess up grading to a better products just does not matter!

The Blue Chip cover has been known to have problems. I'd start there. Go to the pump wire. Depending on what was done to the pump to make it a Hot Rod, the Comp might not be able to make it do much more. Do you know what has been done internally?

all i know is the pump is from massdiesel they make them there

I've got that setup on my 98 and it works good for me.

I could only dyno on 3x5 because my clutch was slipping and I got 336. 1/797. 9

so I was pretty happy with this setup
