i just got it all hooked up and went straight from the air pump to the split air(6 ports) and now my ports open up at 4k rpm around and i can see the aux ports opening after the pump kicks in. now is this ok to do. i was told i need a vaccum soleniod and all but just bypassed it. and went staight from pump to aux ports. this ok?

What is the RPM switch activating? An electric air pump? If you're switching a pump on at approx. 3800 RPM, that will work as an activation method. You probably should stick a pressure gauge on the end of your line to see how much the pump is making. Only about 2 psi is needed, and if you go a lot higher the diaphragms in the actuators could blow out.

yea it is to and electric pump and i have 2 valves on the pump so i have one of em completly open to vent excess air. and at about 4k(though i have it set to 3800) and they slowly open(they dont slam open or anything) when i rev it up past 4k and they remain open till i drop below. i was driving today and it was like driving a new car. even found the pervios owner (like 4 owners down) and he said my engine is brand new from the crate.(only has 35k or so on it.) made me happy now all is running and smooth. o yea and thanks for your responses
