TST comp rox!

I got my tst back- had it tested and upgraded to comp. I finally got some good connections and this thing rox! I've only used levels 1-3 so far but for the first time ever I can burn the rear four on dry pavement without any clutch work. I tried a run tonight on my personal dragway but had to let off when she started getting sideways in 4th

If levels 1-3 pull this hard, I'm wondering what 9/9 would do

Glade you got yours back also, my comp just came back , however my harness was giving me a fit so TST is overnighting a new one, I just tried 9 for the 1st time sunday night, and all I can say is wow, my BFs just go up in smoke, and this is with my re-flashed catcher removed and the Van-Aaken in its place, the truck will be going on the dyno the 11th of this month, im gonna try both combos and see what works best, once again glade you got it back

"9/9" ????
With your HO you may or may not see big difference..... have heard both ways. Most say above #5 (#9 on reg PM3) the HO reads about the same on the dyno for all settings??
Please report whether or not you see any change.... and if you get the shudder that I see on #7 through #9.

Have been told the HRVP does not allow tht TST Comp to add more fuel than with regular VP-44. Always wondered about that being true or false??

Glad your happy with your upgrade! Only use my Comp HP for drag racing and Dyno.... but at $50.00, it's still the least expensive hp I ever added

Don't let that shudder scare ya. On 7-9 it will rock the truck if you get out of it fast.

Their powermax is a fueling box for these trucks. I stacked a powermax3 comp. on my smarty and the truck moves for what power it has. This is one of the more popular and powerful combos.

If top end is the same with hrvp and so vp then 5-9 should react the same?? I recall 600 Megawatts posting that levels above 5 were useless, but that was with his ho pump. I plan on using the upper levels just for competition only- not driving around on sw9/tst9 for daily driving. Heck I was happy with the tst on 2 until I tried 3

Oh and I returned the pump cover so it cost almost nothing for the upgrade

Update

Well after trying level 5 I'm thinking 6-9 will be reserved for dyno and track days cuz I can peg my 1600 pyro guage 1300 is my max with the tst off. This is really a *hot* box.

Glad your happy with it. I've been on the fence about the comp. The extra power would be nice but I'm somewhat afraid of the shutter & EGT's

Yep, the TST comp box is powerful!!! I have been told that it makes less power then a Edge Drag comp box on the dyno, but man, SOP feel sure says the TST box is making more power. From what i remember driving around with the Edge Drag box, it seemed to pour on to much fuel at low boost, causing the engine to bog down, where the TST waits till it sees a certain amount of boost before it puts on the fuel, thus making the engine not bog down with to much fuel. I guess come the 11th of this month, i will see what box produces better numbers. Cant wait!!!!

I've heard the same rumors as rjohnson. The comp wont add anymore power from 5-9, but it will add TQ. I wouldn't get rid of it.
