Best box or programmer
 
Which box or programmer is best suited for overall DRIVEABILITY, wether pulling or Daily use?:humm:

edge juice w/ att...tried and true plus you get all the gauges you need to monitor everything...just make sure you got a lift pump on there (or plan on getting one soon) so you dont suck the vp dry:w2:

Thanks, I have an airdog 150 and a pressure guage, also a BHAF just wasnt sure bout the DRIVEABITY of some of the options out there, I read about the power differences all the time.:U:

Smarty... Yes, you'll need gauges, but its cheaper, and you get all the programs for one price, none of this, sign a waiver, pay $50, then get the good tune... :w2:

Plus it enables high idle and lets you read and clear trouble codes, thats something no chip can do.

id get the edge before the smarty...smarty is a great stack w/ the edge, but overall, you're gonna like that edge more...the waiver and extra money is only for the hot unlock, which doesnt add any more power, only raises the defueling point (which you dont need unless you want more kick above 2900 rpm's)...plus, you can adjust the edge on the fly, unlike the smarty

I already have three cylinder high idle programmned on my truck, and can read and clear trouble codes with my Scanguage II, I do not need power high in the rpms, as i like the feel of a truck with that ooosooolow grunt:choochoo:

the smarty will def. give you that low end grunt, i just think it is a better box to stack...maybe more people will chime in here...

The Hot code will also add low end fueling I thought?

I just ordered the Smarty after riding in an 01 with one on level 9. All I can say is :clap:

Gixxer_750 01-26-2009 06:29 PM

i dont believe so...over on cummins forum some guys were saying it fuels to 4000 w/ the unlock...edge website says this Edge Products: Product
which is that it raises the defueling point only...a lot of people confuse it w/ the 3rd gen, because the power is actually increased on them w/ the unlock...i personally dont have the unlock and can get it to go to 3200 rpm just fine...that smarty is flat out nasty down low...best of both worls would be to stack them...got smoke???:rocking:

Haha, yeah, I'm debating on it, just don't think my clutch will hold one, let alone two. Its holding the XZT fine for now, but its having some bad surging issues, only on the highway, but the whole reason I bought the thing was for the mileage, and I get so ticked with the thing I have to turn it off on the highway. Its like the voltage to the wire taps isn't steady.

I'm gonna load a software on my buddies 01, he's got a Juice/Attitiude and the Hot code. Hot code + Smarty #9 = :ouch:... At least thats my bet.
