Stage 1, 2, or 3??

All right my setup is in my signature and was just wondering what pump would support my setup? I was thinking a 1 or 2 would be fine but would like some advice. The only thing that I am probably gonna add this summer is a Smarty TNT R. I might next year throw some flux 3.5 on my truck but for now the 2's are fine. I just want to be able to keep everything fully fueled. Right now at WOT I can drop the RP down to about 15,000. Cruising it will stay at about 17,000. On the performance setting it is fine but on crazy larry I loose everything. No popping or anything just feels a little sluggish. So what is it 1, 2, or 3?

I'm impressed you're still on the stock cp3! I imagine if you wanna go with bigger then flux 3's your gonna need a stage 3, especially if you wana go TNT/R.

But theres many on here that know better than I. Just from what I've read the TNT/R sucks the fuel big time, add that to some bigger fluxs ad wow thats gonna require some flow!

No just for now I want the flux 2's the 3.5's are maybe later way later but I doubt it. I think I will be fine with a stage 2 but want some more advice. I thought I might even be allright with a stage 1 since those will flow enough for 700 horse.

I would do it once and be done. I would do the Stage 3. You would see a big gain and also you will be able to grow into it.

None of them

You have one good cp3 so get another and then a dual cp3 kit and don't look back. You have big aspirations so do it right the 1st time and you'll save $$$ in the long run and have a better performing truck.

KMAN is a sled puller, I think class rules are just one cp3. I would go for the gusto with the stage 3. Stage 2 on standard smarty will only handle 3.3's. 3.5's work but at the end your rail will be dry.

im gonna 3rd what sloverado said. after you get a certain amount of mods you will have to upgrade all over again. I have had to upgrade a few things and still have more to do. so I would go with a stage 3 and be done with it. I want to upgrade my pump, fuel system, and do some engine work becuase what i have isnt enough now. buying things twice gets expensive

The other day you asked if I had dynoed yet. The answer is no, they were gonna dyno it for me since my truck is at floor it last weekend but Corey stole my flavuh and it never got done. I'll let ya know when I do. I put in a call to John beggin for him to upgrade my pump though. John I love you. Your the only one. Think that will help.

Your phone must have that magic ring to it. Mine just kinda sounds like that annoying begging sound I guess.

Answered on the first call, well actually JD picked up right as it went to the voice mail and John called me back about a hour later. Sounds like those pumps are gonna be pretty wicked.


Quick Reply: Stage 1, 2, or 3??
