Best chip without gauges?
 
I know there's a lot of ?s about chips but I can't find a thread with an answer to my ?. I'm wondering what chip or chip combo would be best without the gauge screen like the EJWA? I already have a 3 gauges cluster on my column and don't want to have to spend the xtra cash on a unneeded screen. Is there another chip that can give me everything the EJWA gives like hp, tranny and speedo adjustment? Or a combo of chips? Thanks guys

I don't know of any that will do everything a EJWA will do cause they do a lot. Turbo timer, a ton of gauges like oil pressure that is more accurate than factory, fuel temp, etc., plus backdown that you can set if egt's or auto tranny slips. The speedo thing doesnt recalibrate your factory unit, it just displays the true speed on the Edge screen. The Edge comp box makes the same power but doesn't have the bells and whistles. About $300 bucks less than the cheaper Attitude with the small screen.

Alright thanks. I called some company, i don't remember who, probably 4 or 5 months ago and was asking them which edge would work for me. They were telling me the EJWA was the only progammer that would give me all the extras and 120 hp but it had the screen i didnt need. They said the next step down was a programmer that only had 3 settings, i couldn't adjust it on the fly and it would only give me a max of 95 hp. And i didn't know that it didn't actually adjust my speedometer so appreciate that, i was made to believe it did with that company. I've got a couple more ? tho if you don't mind... does the comp box allow you to adjust the tranny and do you know if there is a hot unlock code for the comp like the EJWA? Thanks for the help

Nothing for the tranny in the comp, other than it will back down power if it senses slipping.
They can be unlocked for more power but have to be sent to Edge to be reflashed, the Juice can be done over the internet.
If your truck is an auto, it's gonna need some upgrades to handle the power if you ring it's neck. My clutch will slip on my 5 speed almost at will on level 3. Need to buy a South bend or Valair now. My wife's gonna kill me.

I've took the plunge and already upgraded my trans. And your right, the wife might have murder charges put against her, i know mine did. :scare2: So all the juice does, as far as the tranny goes, is change shift points? Ive also read a little bit about TST, Smarty, and Adrenaline. Are those worth looking into?

I would stick with the Edge Juice with CS/CTS or Edge Comp.

ya i think im going to stick with the comp. I got a quote on a 2 year old used comp including the pump plate for $350. Good deal or should i pass on it?

As long as it still works.... no warranty
