I still haven't put on my fuel pump....someone over (I think his name is Scott) there is putting together some instructions on how to install on my Av frame. So, until I get the fuel pump on, I'll wait on the smaller pulley.

Why wouldn't you wait till the install is complete to do the dyno testing. Doing all that dyno testing without the supplied add on fuel pump, that's just stupid.

It's not like I have a death wish for my truck....lots of people are running 6+ pounds of boost on the stock pump. Further, I have fuel pressure guage that I watch more than the boost gauge.

I guess unlocked...I just run it up to 3k in 3rd gear and then get on it.

Damon is a good friend of mine and I have to say that Damon is no fool and trust me that he takes care of his truck. I was helping him with the install of the Radix and Maybe if the Fuel Pump fit like the instructions said we could have installed it and that was not the only major flaw in the instructions...

what was the problem with the fuel pump?

Honestly, anyway you slice it, dyno testing the Charger without the required fuel pump upgrade is not the best choice.

we have just become aware that there is a flaw with the instructions and the Avalanche (inline fuel pump) Please be aware that this problem is being fixed.....

BTW, you can reach us any day during the week if you had a question on the install

Hmm, wonder if there could be a problem with my fuel pump install....knowing how good the install guys were with those parts of the instructions that were not flawed.
