check to make sure your pulse monitor is not set on warm up mode you can set it to not add power until coolant gets to set temp

I dynoed 506/1026 with a bad clutch and a dying vp44...I'm running 150s, tst comp, edge comp, and a 64/71/14...should be able to hit 500 without going twins, if you wanted too, but twins would definitely help, and help keep the smoke down.

I dynoed 428hp with a little hx35. 40hp sticks, scheid lightning VP44, FASS and edge/juice attitude. I have since added 120hp sticks and a phatshaft 62/65/14. Hopefully I can get down there on fri and spin the rollers again.

I highly recommend the Scheid Lightning Pump. Put it and the FASS on at the same time back in June 08. Have almost 50,000 miles on it with no problems.
