NO BOX WILL FUEL TO 4K ON VP TRUCKS!!! It cant happen, It may turn 4K but it's not fueling and wont make power.

I think the only ones turning 4k are running the Industrial Injection Dragon Fire Extreme VP44.

I'm thinking about trying out an ADR as well. A buddy of mine just switched from a Comp to an ADR w/o the Pulse and he said the ADR is very wicked and fuels way harder than the Comp did. He loves it and now he got me wanting to try one, .

If you decide you want to go with the Adrenaline, let me know. I've been wanting a Smarty and I'd be interested in doin a trade with you.

Your right luke, but their still not making power at 4K. That one we talked about the other day (hint hint salisbury). Didnt make power at 4K with a drag comp or ADR and he's running that II pump!

I run the Edge Comp, and I have not had any real problems with it. I think it's biggest drawback is that the adjustability is not what I had imagined when I put it on. If I was going to change my setup in the future, I would look into a programmer that allowed me to do detailed changes, and hopefully one that would tell me what it was changing instead of just some lights and a really vague guide sheet that says you get X from this setting. Other than the lack of feedback, and limited adjustability, it has served me well. I see better fuel mileage when I have it running, and I have had absolutely no problems with my stock clutch running this box. (I should note I don't pull anything over about 4K and I don't push the truck past it's limits. Its my daily driver.)

I would highly recommend the pulse along with the Adrenaline as it allows for custom tuning, and will also monitor a few things your gauges probably don't (TPS, Engine load, etc...). To me the pulse is worth it for the custom tuning alone though as I kept my gauges as well.

Hey Mark just remember the Smarty only adds about 65hp on our VP44 trucks.
