i have a smarty and adraline only combo other than the redline that has let me hit 4k but with the smarty and adraline it does it with no codes! i love my adraline and have had tst, redline, edged ez and the smarty. there are some surge issues with the bigger comp tunes but all in all its good!

 

id stay clear of it, ive got 3 buddies trying to send thiers back, they hate them, my edge juice smokes the doors off of them and the advertized power of the adrenaline is more. ive talkd to several diesel shops around here too and each one of them hates it. one told me that when they installed it on a stcok truck, they only saw a 105 hp increase at best. thats 75 hp less then advertized and when i dynoed my 98.5, the juice gave me 112 hp increase. the adrenaline seems that it works best if stacked with a smarty or simliar program but as a stand alon unit, it sucks. course some are better then others, i know they have had quality control problems since they strted selling them. my advice is to wait till this fall, let them work out the bugs and then try it.

 

were those numbers at the wheels? if so that sounds about right depending on if they had a manual or an automatic. Most all manufactures will rate their programmers in crank HP. an automatic will absorb more HP than a manual tranny due to rotating mass.

 

90% of the people I talk to like the Adrenaline much better than there TST/Smarty or Edge/Smarty Stacks. Yes they are still working out the bugs but Edge had there share of problems as well.

 

the AD is Ok. I had surging problems with the 1000a tune so i loaded the 1000 tune today and the surging is gone.
The Pulse has some really great features but the .02c buttons on it just plain suck!! I'm about ready to sell it and go back to the Smarty/ Comp stack.
Here is a vid of me trying to push the buttons on it. Yes and i have replaced them twice. They suck!!! the buttons that is.

Quad is working on some new buttons

 

from what ive gatherd, a lot depends on the rest of the truck and how its set up, people that are running the adrenaline as a standalone system seem to be having more issues then those that are modded farther. my buddy pulled his last night, went back to his drag comp, we dynoing it this weekend at the same dyno, we tried the adrenaline on, ill let you guys know, itll be the same truck, so we'll find out the true numbers it can produce.

 

what tunes did they have on them because the new comp tunes pull much much harder than the smarty tst stack and the smarty redline stack.

 

i have no idea, he didnt say

 

i've tried this already. same truck mods and same dyno. different days which i know makes some what of a difference. with the drag comp i hit 505 hp and with the adr 484 hp. on a graph(not SOTP), the drag comp seemed to pull harder in the 2k-3k rpm range. and in all out competition, that to me is where it mostly counts.

i have been wondering what a drag comp/adr stack would do? is it possible?
