The problem with a dyno is that if a lower numbered flowing "LPH" CP3 pump will hold 26,000 psi with that trucks combonation then the CP3 pump with even higher flowing "LPH" really wont make anymore HP. A higher flowing CP3 will only give you the abbility to make more HP if you need that extra flow.

I'm ready!!

I'd like to see the trucks all on the same dyno. When you guys start talking about numbers each dyno will yield different numbers for the same truck. My brother and I have always ran our trucks on Dunbars dyno because it let us know where we stood against each other and what our modifications really done. If we were to jump on a different dyno I don't think that would of told us anything. This year was a disappointing year for me as my clutch held for only 4 pulls and then was out. Looking to upgrade some stuff for next yr. I would have to say I've ran John's pumps and they have been a damn good pump for me.
I also vote for the shootout. I run one of John's pumps and its now where near maxed out at my 681Hp with a Htt 66. it was on John's own dyno at an event held in Il.
John, Jump is bringing you something to play with in the future have fun with it.
653 and the ECM only loaded to 55%. Guess need to add a TST, because it doesn't want to load the ECM more than 55%.
What do you mean when you say "the ECM only loaded to 55%"? What is measuring what? I'm just curious.

Alright.... I'll get it straight. Without the EZ, the ECM saw an overboost situation and forced it to drop power, that explains the dumb low numbers.
As for the 55% load, the ECM is only seeing 3V at full boost because of the boost fooling. This has been an issue for some 03-04 trucks and this explains why a lot of them need a TST. Something is telling the ECM to not calculate full load which does not give full duration of the tune. So if you toss on a TST, you can lie to the injectors and tell them to have "full" duration because of the multiplication of the TST.
Say at full load the Duration was to be 2,000 microseconds, but at 55% load the duration is only at 1,600 microseconds. What the TST will do is multiply the 1,600 by whatever you select and put the duration where it should be or where you want it to be. Once we put more duration to this thing, it'll definitely pick up more power.
The ECM takes all the inputs (speed, rpms, boost, rail pressure, and TPS) and makes whats called a calculated load. Now that calculated load is translated into a lot of functions also. It will determine the amount of duration, timing, rail pressure and so on. This is a problem on some 03-04 trucks. Why, i don't know. But with my scan tool, the ECM would only show 55% calcualted load. I'm sure if it were on the street, it would show the same thing.
So what we do now is put a TST on the truck and magnify the ECM output of the duration.
The bigger injector you go, the less this seems to be a problem. On my truck and flux 5s, i still needed the TST on 5x5 to make more power over the Smarty alone. When we swapped in the Flux 7.5s i needed the TST on 2x2. But we took off the TST with the really big injectors and were only 50 hp down. Marco was on track then to push the smarty past the stack of the two and make better power. Unfortunely that is when the crank broke in half. I think there is still much more to learn in these ECMs. There might be some tables somewhere and it is causing the laod to back down.
This is how Erick Brown explained it. The ECM load was only 55% from what the scanner was telling Erick.
