Lightbulb more fuel..

I've got a ram air inake and just added (finally) my 6"stack. I've got the factory down pipe, but it jumps to 5" under the floor to the stack. I added the Edge Evolution programmer and on Extreme the truck starts to build power, then stutters/stumbles. Edge said I'm not getting enough fuel for that setting. Is there any way to boost the stock fuel pump output? I want a Fass 95, but that has to wait... Thanks

your truck should be able to keep up with anything an Edge Evo calls for...your fuel pump may be weak or filters are getting clogged..

You won't need a bigger fuel pump just for a tuner, those were designed for the relatively stock truck. Your truck is starved for fuel either due to dead-heading(which would be solved with an RR Kit(which was already mentioned), clogged fuel filter(s), you have a bad pump(or going bad), and/or comprised injector(s). There's many permutations to this scenerio, but broadstrokes are those as it is probably a fuel delivery related problem.

Also if you plan to keep the edge especially on extreme and you have an auto tranny, be prepaired for your intermediate clutch to go bad(solonoids that shift 3-5) as the edge is notoriously hard on the torqshift. It may not happen, but the odds are not in your favor.

Where would be a good place to get a RR kit I clicked the link and they are all out of stock and won't have any intel the first of April Elite Diesel has them but they are $900 alittle to much compared to the other's and it looks like you get the same thing

Elite diesel's kit is not a regulated return kit. It doesn't have enough lines to feed everything. ITP is the only one you really want to get. ATS has one, but they are a bit up there.
