What's Next ? (performance questions)
 

So i've got almost all the info on my truck.

And i just fixed my fuel pressure gauge to find out i'm running about 19 PSI idle and 12ish WOT. And i finally had the nerve to look up while WOT and take a gander at my EGT's which was 1150' or so,

Have Air filter, S300 turbo, 4" " Straight " exhaust. and full gauges BD boost fooler, and a Fass 95(or 150) fuel pump

I think my fix on the fuel pressure gauge made it run quite a bit better, i think it's not sucking any air into the line when it's haulin butt. it seems to pull a little better. But the mind is a powerful thing.

So where's my next mod ? Injectors ? Programmer ? Water/Meth ?

I don't do any thing but tow a 2500 LBS boat, and drive to work every day,

Seems to be a frequent question from me, but i just don't want to waste my money on something i won't be happy with !

injectors are good I would go in the 95-110 range over stock. what size 300?

You need a Performance Box or Programmer.


Adrenaline
Edge Comp
Edge Juice with Attitude

Injectors or fueling box. I'd go for both:w2: Then you will have to look at tranny upgrades

I was thinkin fuel box too,

I think the previous owner did a bunch of trans work to it, it's got firm shifts when your on it or towing, but nice and smooth around town, + a mag-hytec 40 million quart pan

I don't know how to tell sizes, only thing i know is " S300g7 " or S7, sound abut right ?? i'll look into it after it's cooled down a little more.

I want to go with smarty over an edge, but i don't know, i can get them both for abut 650'.

But i need something that will have decent manners, i love the fact that smarty has " half power " and " Fuel saver " and the high idle feature

I'm lost, if only some one had one of them used.... WTB section here i come !

Ohh and !! What are ya'lls opinion on the BD steering brace for the 01's ? Mine drives pretty nice as is, would it really make that much of a difference ?

the edge juice with attitude is adjustable as well and its on the fly, smarty would be good as well, tst powermax 3 wouldnt be a bad choice either and its a little cheaper. actually if thats something your interested in, let me know, i may be able to get you a used one.

I haven't heard much on the TST stuff, But i like the on the fly adjust mode.

How does it it hook up ?

That's what i like about the smarty the most, easy to remove, and make the truck back to stock with no trace,

Smarty only adds around 60hp to VP44 trucks. If you get a Smarty make sure you pay MAP price or you will not have a warranty. With New Ball Joints, lukeslink on the trac bar and the steering stabalizer my truck has tight steering.

Why does it hint at the 150 HP and 300 Ft. Lbs of torque on smartys website ?

I want something that will help mileage when i need it to, and rip the doors off the car next to me when i have to,

Which website you looking at?

no smarty gives you that on a VP 44 truck, on the common rails 2003 and newer, it does but if you want that, you need to get you either the edge juice with attitude, tst powermax or even the quadzilla adrenaline, for simple on the fly, i reccomend the juice with attitude or the TST powermax 3, TST Products, Inc. mark, the owner and lead engineer retired from cummins back in the late 90s after having helped design the 12 v and 24 v dodge cummins motors, he was one of the first aftermarket companies to really work the old p-pumps and then was one of the first to put electronic tuners out there and his stuff is the top of the line in terms of reliability and quality, power, customer service is number one as well.

If you already have gauges, find yourself a used edge comp box. They are the same programming as the juice w/a, just no gauges. They are tried and true, and usually not that hard to find. Injectors would be a nice addition too, but with a box like the edge, you can turn it down and adjust it for towing fuel economy etc... The comp box is very adjustable as well, there are 5 different levels and each has 5 sub levels as well, (also referred to as smoke levels) These affect how the truck fuels based on boost. Like I said, they are a tried and true great product.

Not that the others aren't great, but you can pretty much guarantee that you will be happy with it.

I use my truck for a daily commuter and I see fuel mileage in the 20's all the time, even in winter. I really like the Edge Comp box, I set it at 3, the sub-level at three, and leave it there. If I really want to move--traffic situation, I reach over and turn it all the way up. I saw a 2mpg gain when I put the box on.:5:
As for the high idle feature, have a dealer enable it, it takes the latest and greatest flash from Dodge, and flipping a few switches in the computer. Then search "high Idle" on the forum and build the IAT/ECT cheater switch, works like a dream. The flash costs about $100.00 if you don't have the latest software and less than $50 if they just have to enable it.

I can get you a edge drag comp out of a buddies truck it's also an 01 for 340 to your door

i may be takin you up on that 01QC'

I'm just pending my jeep sale

:pca1:

Been two weeks now... some one's gotta want that damn thing !

I know what you mean. I had a guy tell me the comp box does not have a hot unlock on it. So I forwarded him links to it all and the cost of everything. No response back.. Just trying help the guy get a little truck so he has some wheels once he gives his truck back.

with the economy right now, good luck, it took my dad 6 months to sell his.

People up here are kinda..... uhhh... not bright.. they buy any thing.. you just have to pick the right person in the right spot, and poof it's gone...

if im not mistaken please correct if wrong others.

The smarty when loaded will reinstall the latest software W/ high-3cyl idle
Find a friend with a smarty and save your money!

damn good deal
