I was having some major surging issues with most of the tunes posted for the Adrenaline. There was only one tune that was streetable for daily driving, but it was a lesser tune. If you don't have the surging issues with your truck, then you are probably better off keeping your current box. For those of us with bigger sticks, it's much nicer to deal with. As I said though, the drawback is looking at the check engine light on a regular basis. Personally, I am ecstatic with the new 4k box. I like it way better than anything else I have run on the truck.

I would say some lightning 3 sticks are pretty darn big. Yes I have surging issues with the truck now and then already. I don't care about check engine light it is on every trip to the strip due to the top speed eliminator.

so I really need to know if it's worth it with my setup now the drag comp is 2 tenths faster. I would like to see if I can't get more out of this before it goes back stock. put 683 down at topeka at the world finals.

Very nice, What Vp are you using? I just put on a set of twins (this monday) 62/65/14 over a s475. My Box is a 4K quadzilla and I run Lightning IIs. I have a SO vp and was wondering about trying LT3s but was wondering if it would drain out the vp? DO you have bigger lines or tubes? Dyno day is Saturday and I'm hoping for a 625hp number. Thanks bud.

so vp44 stock lines and tubes. from the people I know that went to bigger lines and tubes they lost power and driveability. I already have my sticks sold when I return my truck to stock. have to smog it next year.

You read my mind, That was my next question. If they back out keep me in mind. So a SO VP, lt-3 sticks, edge drag comp, and 62/475 twins will get ya 683? any meth or nos? any other special goodies. Those are awesome numbers. Do you clean up the lt-3 sticks? I still have a light grey haze with the lt-2s. thanks for the info and help.

I tried water it puts the fire out, no nos but I know with these sticks on nos it has potential for 1000hp. I did go with titanium retainers and 110# valve springs with mr bobs boots. makes a little over 80psi down the track.
