Tapping the pump
 

What do yall mean by tapping the pump and how is it done. Also what do you gain by doing it?

Tapping the pump usually refers to the installation of a tuning box with a pump wire.

When you tap the pump wire with the box it gives fueling control to the tuner.

How is it done?

a scotchlok connector usually. Which is not the best way. The best way to do it is with a stealth plate cover or with good old solder and heatshrink.

stealth plate is the best way:tu:

Stealh plate for sure. I shoulda went that route looking back so much nicer

thanks guys does it make a big difrence when you tap the pump.

oh yes it does make a big difference.

But befre you do this - make sure you have proper guages - including a fuel pressure guage and a better lift pump. Tapping the wire on an otherwise stock truck usually results in a dead VP-44.

What are the mods that youve done to your truck?

I have an afe stage 1, banks otto mind and 4 inch straight piped.
