Yes. If your low pressure pump is crap we can fix that really quick.

Definitely. Hell, I can pick up an Airdog at the event and stick that on lol.

Alright, I've made up my mind not to rush this and do it right. I'll just run E.T. at Rudy's and stick the drag radials on to see if it's quick enough to be competitive in 7.70.

Gonna use Jared's gauge to see what low pressure fuel is doing. If that's good then I'm just going to let it ride for a while while I gather parts again. Mary's LPFS, dual fuel, and at least 60%'s. All in favor?

if it runs high 12's 7.70 will just be a disappointment.

Yeah but half the ***tards red light in the first round. I'm drawing the line at 7.85 or better for mine.

It never hurts to test everything to confirm the problem is the HPFP especially if you find yourself in a position like me last year....That being said, I would just about bet the farm it is the HPFP. Even Ford, when it is under warranty (of course that would be on stock tuning), says replace the HPFP if low RP code comes up. Anyways, sounds like a plan to me!!!

You should be dude! Zach said you were killing it this weekend and all on stock fuel!!

Yeah I remember dancing in my truck when I was behind you in staging and saw the 7.69 come up on the board. I can't wait to make some 1/4 mile runs.

He's been busy. Next is going to be some traction bars I think.

Platinum250Scorpion · May 7, 2015

Right on

bft blue oval boys · May 8, 2015

Haven't even drove it since Rudy's... Freaking busy. I'm going on a cruise next week though and I may have a little something when I get back! I'll update!
