hey guys, i have been wondering how it is possible to add some boost to the speed density fuel injected trucks. The vortech kit has an ignition delay box, but what does it do for more fuel?

If the kit is complete it comes with a fuel management unit(FMU).. a fancy name for a boost regulated valve that you plumb into the fuel return line. It restricts fuel flow back to the tank proportional with boost pressure which raises fuel pressure across the injectors and as a result more fuel is injected into the motor. It's simple but works very well.
