Keep the hx around 35 psi and you will keep it. Start going over that much and it will die. Local kid around here been pushing is to 42+ and it's done for

I don't know how you'd get 42+ out of it. I can only get 35 out of mine and i might get a little more but my clutch is done and with the big sticks it just gets too hot for me.

I've had to replace my lift pump twice. The first time it took my injector pump with it. I had the same problem when I put in the edge, on stage 3 it would stay atabout 10 when you got on it pressure would drop and alerts would start soundin off. Replaced the lift pump now it idles at 20. I've been told it's normal for them to go out, I think your gauges are fine

Nyred IMO the Air Dog was one of the best investments you can make for you and your VP44. Don't feel bad it's all good!

I don't know what the AD sounds like but my FASS makes a boat load of noise - always has and its been in place now for 6 years with not a single problem. Well, I take that back, you'll see more power and want more still so then you'll start the same old slippery slope we all go down - some faster than others.

what ever do you mean? a year ago I just had a juice with attitude. In the time since then went to small injectors, then a turbo then bigger injectors then better injectors, then even bigger injectors, to a set of compounds and will soon be even bigger injectors. Maybe I can stop now

I'm the same way;

Lift pump and injector pump replacements (warranty), saw the light, FASS 150.150, FP, Boost, Pyro gauges, DSS, 4" MBRP Duals, Crankcase mod, Evap mod, AFE stage 2, stage 5 injectors, ATS Manifolds, EDGE COMP and Smarty stacked and one really dead clutch...

You only stop when you run out of money...
