Depends on who ya ask. When I put my Edge on it made a huge difference. But that was after I changed the VP. All I know is with a stock VP and the Superchips programmer the truck did okay. Then when I changed the VP I took the SC off and it ran better with VP and no SC than stock with SC. Just don't make the same mistake I did and try to stack the SC with the Edge

The biggest problem the vp's had was the stock lift pump. If you put the replacment "in tank" pump in you should have nooo problems!

ive heard nightmares about the in tank pumps. I have an aftermarket external and was looking into a better version like a FASS or similar.

That Scheid pump with bigger injectors would be sick but then probably be at the limits of the stock turbo system?!?!?! Eh, pipe dreams! I dont even have gauges yet (except lift pump pressure). Thats why i wanted a Edge Attitude w/ juice! Wish Banks made that new kick *** "Banks IQ" for the 24V Cummins!

Ya FASS is needed. and yes you will be past the limit of the stock turbo. Banks is way overpriced. Just save your pennies and get an Edge and Lightning pump

that was no better than the stocker. I personally know 3 people who had the factory replace with the in tank pump and lost the injection pump soon after. only replacement that works is a fass airdog or raptor
