Default tapping the pump wire

I,ve heard alot of bad things from tapping the pump wires. Is it going to damage my vp if I get a programmer that taps the pump wire. Already have a MP Powerplay with a set of 75hp sticks 4 inch exhaust and airdog fuel pump. 5 speed with valair clutch. Was looking to stack with the MP Poweplay I,ve go on the truck now. What would be a good unit to do that with and what kind of hp gains could I expect to see. Thanks

do you mean the ts mvp? either way if youre wanting to keep it and stack it youd probably be stacking with a smarty or some other brand of flash tuner. The tapping of the pump wire would be from using a adrenaline or edge comp, etc. I dont think youd wana stack those with the ts. Both would be using the map sensor at the same time.

yes it is a TS MVP I was old that I,d not be able to stack this with a smarty. I guess with the TS I need a tunner that I can do more fuel only. Or should I consider vp pump work instead of a tunner Thanks

for the money the smarty cost do you think its worth the hp gains that I'll get? Have any idea what that would be as far as ponies from adding a smarty? Thank you for the help

what does the ts add? sounds like you may be better off with a comp box and taping the pump wire

ts claims 100 horse. smarty claims up to 230 I think. Smarty gives you alot of options, they are great programmers.

65 sounds like smarty jr., but I agree the 230 aint right, stock smarty for cr dont even come close to that high. I dont know where that came from

There isn't a Smarty Jr for the VP44 trucks.
