i'm a new comer to tdr and after reading about everyone else's rigs, i'm getting power hungry again. whats next? i was thinking injectors of some kind, but maybe fass first? any suggestions? as for injectors, what do you recommend? i've seen the jammer nosels, but am skeptical. they claim they perform as well as an actual injector, is that true? they are much cheaper so it makes them somewhat appealing, but i also don't want cheap junk. what do you think?

The vp44 should never have a edge comp hooked up without a fuel system upgrade & fuel pressure gauge. I burnt my vp up because I didn't have a fuel pressure gauge & many other members would agree that it is the first step. I wouldn't even turn the comp on until you install a gauge, because the vp44 is very flow sensitive. On level 5x5 the comp can pull your fuel pressure down below 5 psi & anything below 4 psi spells danger to a vp44. I'm just trying to save you about $1200 for a new vp.

thanks, i'll be sure to invest in a guage immediatly, and a fuel system shortly after

The Vulcan relocation kit is the best fuel system upgrade for the money. If you can go with the FASS, do that. But the Vulcan has worked great for me so far. The lowest FP I've seen in my truck is 8psi. Good luck.
