I hve been reading what you guys say about programmers.The edge comp is a mild upgrade?And when you say dont tap pump what does that mean?

The Comp is mild to wild. Taping the pump tells it to deliver more fuel without the ECM telling it to

quad adrenaline/edge juice with attitude?This is a chip and module(digital gauge) correct?

I dont know,i see 1slow24 posted today he installed an edge comp and it ran a little bit and died.That doesnt sound too good.

If an injection pump is already weak a fueling box will kill the IP quicker.

Oh,okay.How can you tell if you injection pump is weak?I did install a low pressure led till i could afford a gauge or module but that just checks uplift pump,right?

Basically you really need two things to get started before adding fueling items. The first being a lift pump such as the airdog or the FASS which already stated you have a raptor. So the next thing you need is gauges ( boost, pyro, fuel pressure) most importantly is the fuel pressure because low fuel pressure is what kills your injection pump the quickest. So basically what happens inside your injection pump is that when there is not enough fuel to feed the pump so the fuel cavitates inside the pump therefore burning the pump up prematurely.

true, that is a mechanical failure of VP44's. Most of the time a VP has electrical failures from low fuel pressure. The VP44 uses fuel to cool the electronics in it, low fuel pressure is low flow, low flow removes less heat.
