Default What should I do?

I was wondering if I could make more power with the Adrenaline or stick with the TST powermax Comp and edge EZ? What do you guys think?

I have yet to dyno with the adrenaline but I did run the powermax comp with the ez. I also ran the powermax comp with the smarty and the powermax with ez and smarty. Very strong combo's. I must say I do like the all the adjustments of the adrenaline to fine tune to what your truck likes. It just takes a lot more playing around vs. the plug and play with what you have now. I really would have to say I like the adrenaline more because of all the different tunes and tuning parameters that it has to offer. You still have a great set up with the pm3 comp and ez

I changed turbos this week and we will see what kind of numbers it will put down at Scheids. I put on a super phat shaft 66.

my advice would be to stick with the TST pmc and the EZ. Ive played with the adrenaline on the dyno and was very disappointed with it, even after running tunes other guys were running. Ill post a link to the write up i did a while back. I personally know of several people attempting to trade off their adrenaline for something else so if you do decide to give it a shot, let me know and ill pm you some phone numbers. Ive ran the juice with attitude and the adrenaline as well as the old redline box, right now im running a new box thats not even out yet on my truck as test vehicle and i cant say much, but its been very promising on the dyno, very tuneable to the truck and its fueling very hard, very smooth power curve, HP andTQ gain numbers are waaaaayyyy up there. Ill post some info by the end of next week when we wrap up testing

on my modded truck or my stocker? my modded has a custom built turbo from speedway performance in indianapolis. flows similar to an hx40, just without the famous shaft failures and ive got the waste gate set to open at 45 psi, my stocker, as it says, completely stock. Im not allowed to give out exact numbers on the new box, right now on the stocker, the rear wheel hp numbers that we are actually getting are right around where the ADR claims to get and the torque numbers are even better. thats with the standard tune, we're testing the COMP tune next week. im curious to see what it gets compared to the standard. We havent tested it on my modded truck yet, thats to come soon though

what level did you have the TST box on? For some reason, with the old TST PM3 Comp is stacked, the best power results seem to be found from levels 5-7, not sure why that is, when i ran it on my truck, I used level 6 and hit 463hp and 1076 with a stock turbo and 150 hp injectors
