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

 

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.
