Question Mods for my new pickup??

I just got an '02 6spd dually and am wanting some more power!! It has a cold air, edge ez and exhaust. But I'm wondering what to replace that ez with. Quad adrenaline, edge juice, or comp. Tell me what ya think and any other ideas would sure help. Thanks

Congrats on the new truck. the edge comps are nice, but if you dont have any gauges the edge juice with attitude has it all right there on the screen. maybe look into that, might be more bang for your buck. unless you prefer the pillar gauges. an edge comp is roughly 550bucks and the triple pillar gauge set is probably about 350bucks...it adds up quick, probably worth it to get EJWA. then get some new injectors like 100hp or 125hp injectors. Then I would work on the tranny. beef that bad boy up.

#1 is a fuel pressure gauge, and most likely a aftermarket lift pump (FASS/AirDog). Feed the VP44 the fuel it needs before damaging it. After that, more gauges. Add Boost and Pyro to the fuel pressure, and you will have the necessities.

Depending on what kind of bells and whistles you want will determine the chip for you. I am a fan of Edge personally. If you want simple, raw power, Edge Comp. If you want back downs, turbo timer, alerts, and more gauges, Edge Juice with Attitude CS or CTS.

100-125HP injectors is a large as I would go with a stock turbo. Even with that size you are beyond the limits of a HX35.

Everyone I know who runs the edge juice seems to like it. That gets my vote

i would do the gauges then i would add a set of injectors instead of tapping the pump wire with any of the above listed "chips" if you stay sensable with the injectors you wont need a turbo upgrade at this time
