We dynoed a truck with a SPS66 (slightly larger than your 64 but not that much) Drag Comp, and Mach 4's and made over 600 RWHP!
Wow, I need to go make a pull on that dyno. What else was done to that truck?

like the other guys have said, check your connections. When I first installed my PM3 Comp, the power light and b00st light on the box would light, and fuel & b00st on the remote, but no fuel on the box. Solution re-tap the ground wire. I used the BD stealth plate on the pump. Now Ph4tty, granted your setup is different than mine, but with the TST on 9, hold on

Also, might ck the inline fuse (5v I think)....if you have not already! Mine looked good but turned out to not be. Yellow & red Lts. were strong but Green was not...I would just replace it to eliminate one possibility.

Well thats reassuring. It still puzzles me that tst wouldn't stand behind their product and help troubleshoot instead of telling me the box is working so return it if I want =\ Too bad I didn't get the guys name so I dunno who I talked to

Positap is broken. I can't get the connectors I bought yesterday on there. I'm lacking in soldering skill. I may just need a pump cover. So to be continued...

Why not get another posi-tap? They sell them at Walmart or O'reilly's autoparts, the blue posi-taps will fit better.

I couldn't find them at walmart

Tommorrow I'll try taking another positap and use that to replace the broken tap at the pump wire and use the connectors I bought for the ground, which is easier to get to.

I have driven Rowlands truck with and without the PM3 on.....and you can tell a HUGE differance in power.....no question! Im sure they have a diagnosis setion in the install manual......go over that with a flea comb......these boxs that make you tap wires (Blue Chips, TST, Comp), a bad connection can screw up the whole thing...it may look good....but its not. Just keep at it! Im sure you will figure it out! You got a good source on here for help!

Still disappointed. It may do me some good racing or on a dyno but not much of a difference on the street. I did a little country drag racing and managed to hit 1300 on the pyro- so I know more fuel is there.

I've been riding the bike for the last week so the trucks pretty much parked until the the rain comes back. Then testing will continue =P
