    Question about the vacuum line.

    You mentioned the piggy-back ECU, which I of course don't have, so I don't know where you're talking about.

    Any pics or suggestions on what line I'm splicing into for vacuum signal?

    Ron - was there any particular reason you spliced into the wires UNDER the plug, instead of just splicing them ABOVE the big rubber plug?

    Instead of a Boost-a-pump, why not just install a High Volume fuel pump in the gas tank?

    Hi 1bad4dr, I have a question, wen you install the booster, do you have to cut the original 12volt wire and this cable will activate the relay?

    Not sure I am following your question?

    The only wires you need to tap into are at the top of the fuel pump. The reason for this is to get the relay wires to the fuel pump so that the pulse can be made from the Boost A Pump to the Fuel Pump to the injectors.

    Or did I not answer your question?

    Thank-you for your reply.
    So you say you tap to the wire you don't cut the wire, because on the
    drawing we see the booster pump plug to the 12volts pump wire only, or can you explain me more, how to run the wire.
    Also what the meening of ccw and cw I have see on the DSM manufacture sheet?
    Here is what I am talking; http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/2350_frm23726.pdf

    Welcome to the Connection from Chandler, AZ, Daniel. Why don't you introduce yourself in the New Members Forum.

    That 123.72 is the fastest trap speed I know of for an LX. A couple others at 123, and several at 122, me included. We seem to be stuck there. LOL

    Actually - my database listed Daniel at 11.710 @ 123.74, Making him the 12th quickest, but 2nd fastest LX run ever. I could have been off - but Daniel, didn't you have a run ever so slightly better than what your sig says?

    Hi, I am from Canada Québec south shore of Montréal my language is French so I try to write in English with my friend (Google translate) I have a Dodge Charger SRT8 06 Zoomer, supercharger from Arizona speed and marine BG flash (only for transmition control) 6 pound of boost you can see my trap sheet and dyno on my web site http://danielforand.com/xenon.html .
    Yes my car is very powerful, but if you look my sheet, the starting is 1.890 I have to do it slowly because it spinning to much even whit my drag radial, jay2puff was their, he have the same car but with Head-Cam-High flow-Cat back and is car did 12.22 and 119.89MPH, on stock wheels, is very good for just a cam swap, now I have a Quaife and will have a fuel pump booster, it should be better.
    This winter I install fuel and boost gauge, 1000hp half-shaft and Quaife.
    I have a MSD fuel pump booster to install because the fuel pressure drop when it boost at WOT, that why I need more information before installing the booster, the instruction I see here and the sheet I have seem different.

    I did 122.003 (small cam, 100 shot) the night Meister did his 12.97. I did 120.886 (H/C 100 shot) at SpeedWorld racing Ron a couple of weeks ago.

    I got a meager 117 last night no nitrous. My ET was 12.47 cause I was unwittingly coating the track with rubber for the next guy to run on.
