If the light is flashing your pulling the AD100 to hard. Time to upgrade for sure.

BTW, what type of light are you refering to that comes on when the FP is below 5psi? Is this something that is on the 03-04 555's too?
its an orange light that you install in the cab when you purchase and AD system..far as i no it comes with every AD kit..it starts blinking when you get below 4 or 5 PSI

Install the draw straw or you will starve the pump and kill it. Not good.



Edited: Forgot to ask, which regulator spring are you using? I installed the 17 PSI spring and see 18-20psi on my gauge. If you are running the regular spring it will only be around 15 psi. Fuel pressure gauges are wonderful

What up here??

Well the problem is NOT the Flux!

It's the fuel delivery. Get rid of the stock draw straw and go with big feed lines pushed by AT LEAST a 150gph,.... (new AD is 180/230gph) or go mack daddy with the Mitusa Gusher at I think 250gph or 275gph and then a Floor It cp3 mod or dual cp3s and then you have what you need for "feelin' the power" on the fuel side.

Those Flux 2.0's will be sweet on the street or strip. Very good go, less smoke, and great spooling. Nice choice.
