Yeah they all "tap the pump" in order to modify the injection pumps output

 

DieselWeasel makes a great point as to the "health" of the vp pre tapping it. I had 230000ish on the odo when i tapped mine. But the vp did not have nearly that many miles on it.

 

You can run the Edge Juice with Attitude without tapping the pump. It just makes it act like your running an Edge EZ. It will only add around 65hp to an untapped pump.

 

Thats a pretty cool fact... I didn't see that in the manual... Is that through timing adjustment alone then? By connecting it to the CAN connector only?

 

so i got a question!! if i dont tap the pump wire on my quadzilla adr. can i rum my smarty on sw#9 timing added and not mess up anything?. or is it better to tap the pump withn the quadzilla and leave the smarty on a no added timing sw#

 

Not tapping the pump on the ADR causes it to be ONLY timing is what i assume. So not tapping AND running Smarty WITH timing is a bad idea. If your going to stack for mega power just throw the idea of an everlasting VP out the window. I would assume the smarty adds fuel just as any other tuner would... It just does it by reprogramming.
If i were you id tap the pump for the ADR and run smarty with no timing. With the money you got in your truck... whats another 1500$ for a bad *** Injection Pump?

 

If a shop were to install the edge juicew would they most likely tap the pump?im just trying to figure out if mine is or not

 

Id say, yes BUT if you want to make sure you can remove the 3 bolts holding you throttle position sensor on and move it over a bit. You will see the top of the VP44, there are 2 connectors on the top, if its tapped one of the wires will have a wire tied into it trailing back to your Edge Att or Quad ADR

how does the smarty make good power since it doesnt tap your pump?

 

Not totally sure but doesnt it plug into your ADL connector on the truck? Perhaps it reprograms the ECU then the ECU commands more fuel.
