Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Van Aiken Question

[AWeik]

my buddy lent me his vA fuel box from his 01 ho 3500 today to try out for a while. . i plugged the box in and drove for a while feeling out the power and response. later that day i noticed on the box the plate was stamped: 98. 5 and up / 215-235hp obviously my truck was factory with 245. is this not the right box and will this box hurt my VP or truck? im not running gauges so i cant monitor the egt but the truck runs sweet and has way better low end and throttle response. should i pull the box or will it not hurt my rig?

Per BD, this won't hurt anything. The box is not optimally tuned to your engine, but will work. I sold a 235hp VA to a friend with a 245hp HO 4 years ago and he hasn't had any problems with it.

AWeik,



What you have is the CPC box. I've been running one for about 5 years now without any problems. If you add some 275hp injectors and a boost module it will really wake up the engine.
