I don't know, everyone has seemed to be really happy with the way Tony's tunes performed. 98 mph is nowhere near a good trapspeed. Would a really bad fpr make for a sluggish truck wot?

Didnt I say to log rail before buying shit?

Yes I hear you on that Tim, but does that make someone a bad tuner because I have low rail pressure issues? I know tony is a real reputable tuner and I'm sure his tunes are quality. It can very well be just the shitty fpr I have in my truck right now. It feels like it can barely idle it's loping real bad. I can not see that doing any good for running my Truck down the track. Live and learn I guess. I will be seeing tony sometime this upcoming week to run logs and to change my fpr current b1010 table. I'm positive that it will get sorted out.

Devon,

If the FRPV is sticking, or wore out rescaling the table isn't going to do you any good.

My Lb7 pump was a POS on my 2002 at just over 3 years old and 70K miles, it would barely hold 13K at WOT with a lift pump.

I tried a SD modded regulator and that brought the rail psi up to about 17K on the big tune at the time, less than a year later I swapped to a stock LBZ pump/regulator and held 22K after that.

My advice is to plan on either biting the bullet and be prepared to replace whatever is bad because I can't fix a failing hard part with tuning.

If you can't make/maintain good rail psi then you won't go fast at the track.

Your slip shows an 8.5 @ 79 mph is the 1/8th, that is 4-5 tenths slow and 5-6 mph off, so if you want a mid 12 sec pass you will need to trap at least an 7.9-8.1 at 85+ mph. That tells me that almost out of the gate your truck is losing rail psi or has a fuel delivery problem.

I know it sucks to spend more money, but the slip shows something is off and the way it is idling proves it.

;)

Thanks alot tony for chiming in! I am not blaming any bit of poor tuning on you because I know the tuning is top notch. The truck was a lot quicker when you first tuned it. But now it's loping worse then ever and obviously the performance is going down hill. I will pull the cp3 out this week or next week. I already have a lbz regulator I was going to put in the truck. Unless I can find funds for a lbz pump in the next week or two. I may just throw the fpr in and see if that corrects this issue. I will keep in contact wit you aswell!

Like I told you before, a loping fpr doesnt always mean its not full flowing at 0 Ma. sure, it could be the cp3 wearing out, sure it could be your feed system, and yes it could be tuning because with too high of pulsewidth you will drop pressure and it doesnt take much. That's why you should log it, or have Tony log it, to get a better idea of whats going on FIRST.
