I have a 2001 24v 6 speed manual all stiock except a raptor lift pump im looking for a cheaper tuner. Im stuck between a flashpaq 3855, evoht, or hypertech max energy. I want a lil smoke to show off but overall i can sacrafice smoke for raw hp. Whats yall's opinions?

Smarty is hands down the best flash tuner for these trucks, but they come with a price tag to match the quality.

 

agree with raw but i have edge juice with attitude and i love mine but its pricey too

 

When it comes to a tuner you are going to get what you pay for

 

Ok so im pricing around the smarty s-03 tuners.....with the be to much for the stock fuel pump and and the stock clutch to carry? I do have the adjustable raptor lift pump

 

Or how about a edge comp (just the redgular comp box) is this too much for a stock clutch even on a HO model? Like i said before everything except the lift pump is stock including injectors.

 

Should be OK as long as you don't dump the clutch. They are about a 65HP tune.

That is a 120HP fueling system. Extreme high chance of smoking your clutch, and the Raptor would just cover your fueling needs.

 

So what is the best tuner i should get that wont smoke the clutch when im playing around a little off road or pulling about a 9,000lbs water tailer?

 

Depends on your budget, future goals, and what features you want. The Edge Juice with Attitude is an "all in one" unit, but comes at a cost. Comp makes great power, adjustable on the fly, has no features, and is a respectable price. Smarty is respectable price, has code read/clear features, tire adjustment, but isn't adjustable on the fly, and similar money to the Comp but less power.

Personally, I like the Edge Juice with Attitude. Although it is the most expensive, I don't think you will regret it in the long run. You shouldn't have to buy another tuner/chip in the future if you decide to get one with gauges, or other options. It is also adjustable, with the first level being a mild 40hp increase.
