Question What the heck???

Just took out my edge chip today and getting to put in my wildman when it gets here and drove my truck around town once just to remind me why i did all the mods i did and i dont know if its suppose to be that slow or it was kinda cold or what. It would barley boost up and it took forever to get going defanitly seemed like something was wrong. has anyone ever had any problem like this before?

I agree. I did that too. This is the only time in your life you want the PMS back.

shouldt make a difference on the nozzles, its the lack of chip, mine still felt pretty good even after the chip came out but running my 14.7 mod

Stage 1's have the same nozzle as the stockers and without a chip they spray the same fuel as a stocker. I think it just the no chip that is killing you.
