That will let you know if you are getting power to the pump but not tell you if the pump is working. Invest in a pressure switch and tap it in. Then you know for sure the pump is working.

You say that till it happens to you. Happened to me. Luckily I didn't pop my motor. Now I have that red light in front of my face with a pressure switch.

When you're focused on driving like at the track dummy lights are nice to have for certain things lol.

I have the same kit as you. I mean adding the same style of pressure switch that activates your meth off boost, to get one that you can tap in line after the pump so when your pump starts up it lights up the led light as opposed to just tapping into the power source of the pump.

I just put the pressure switch Tee'd in the meth line and made a power connection through it. So when the meth kicks on, it activates the switch and puts power to the led

Damn thats really smart! I'll have my kit installed today, so I'll look into getting a pressure switch and all. I also have devils own stage 1. Hopefully they sell a kit with the T, switch, wiring and led for cheap

Ya well after my meth pump seized solid on me I changed from tapping into just the power wire for the pump to installing a pressure switch. I'm not sure if Devilsown sells them but you shouldn't have problems finding one. It looks like the boost switch the kit comes with but has fittings on it for the meth lines to clip into.
