1x1 is quicker from the start. It spools faster and has better throttle responce than 5x5 or 2x2 3x3 or any combination. The pump is tapped. What the heck is going on?

sounds like a Edge Problem, Unless the solenoid in the pump is going!

Generally a Truck will make better dyno power in heavily fueled cases on 5x4 but this is a very odd situation ! I would give edge a call!

Are you seeing any smoke?

its simple............you aint got nuff air man

I have the exact same issues with my comp......exactly

I have also proved on the dyno though that the HP and TRQ DO increase up to 5x5..................but ya gotta get maxed out on air b4 it will happen

I haved proved on a streach of road near work that I get slower as I increase up to 5x5

If it's smokin like that it's an air problem. To much fuel + to little air to burn it = smoke.
