Default Quadzilla Adrenaline... First impression

Got it installed today, directions are pretty straight forward but probably not clear enough for the 1st timer.. JMO. I got the adrenaline hooked up to my computer (finally...) I downloaded tune- ADR2003, I picked this tune becuase it didnt have the Turbo timer. (long story short I dont want it idlening in my garage for 2 minutes!!

I did not hook up any of the sensors: EGT, FP, oil temp....

Comming from my Edge Comp to the Adrenaline:

The adrenaline feels "softer" not quite the Holy crap here we go feel like my comp on level 5, dont get me wrong the adr. gives my truck power but not like the comp did... however remember that i have only used 1 tune, hopefully more in the future. Running WOT on the highway 75mph + i could only hit 32lbs of boost compared to the comp could hit around 37-38lbs, also my egts arent quite as high running the Adr vs. the comp.
The idle up feature is pretty cool, all of a sudden with the tune on PL00 up to 1200 it goes.. only after a few min of idling.. at 1st i couldnt figure out how to get it to idle down?? tried the brake and gas.. nope! then switched to PL01 and down it went. The engine seems quieter at idle too...might just be my imagination too though?
With all that said i have only put on about 20 miles since the install so time will tell, i hope to get a tick better mileage too.. we will see!

Which setting on the Pulse were you using PL10? The ADR1000, and ADR2000 tunes are good all around tunes. Try they ADRCOMP2 and see how she runs.

id try a dif tune...from what i hear, the adr should be giving you more kick than the edge...ive seen people run the adr w/ dif tunes and wasnt impressed...however, from what i hear, there are some that are just flat out nasty....im guessing all those people cant be wrong so id say experiment...then let us know cause ive had my eye on one as well...
