Programmer and Tuner Question
 

I have enjoyed the mild tuning mods and Hypertech program on stage 3 for several years now. I want to know how a set of mildly performance injectors will change things. Horsepower and torque. EGTs. MPGs!!! Stock clutch with 210k miles on it. Is a hotter program better, easier, and cheaper? What do yall think?

Well the injectors are gonna give you increase hp/tq, and depending how you drive better mpgs. But your gonna have higher egts if you dont have a A/F turbo that would support this added fuel. If I was you I would get a btr clutch than add the power thats just me. Plus a more aggresive tuner that taps into your injector pump, better fuel sticks and a turbo and your gonna see a big increase. Depending on if you constantly gettin on the fuel pedal will make the differenced if your stock clutch last.:nope:

I appreciate your info, Killstroker. I'm really looking for a much less extreme (expensive) increase in power. Have I already reached the point to where that's my only option? Hypertech, 4" exhaust without muffler, BHAF, and Raptor 100 lift pump is my list of mods.

what about guages???? If not then a EJWA would be a great choice with a supprting clutch.. Fill out your sig!!!!!!!!!:scare2: lol

Ha! You're right! I do need to fill out my profile. I have got pillar mounted pyro and boost gauges.

then u cant beat a comp box...IMO or maybe even a smarty revo..:rocking:

Thanks. Will the Comp box compensate for tire size? Can l get that from my Hypertech and use them both?

I think you can use them both but I would use the Comp box for fuel/timing and the hypertech on stock but for your tires and gearing. U need to check to see if they will stack first. My second thought is you could just get a diff tire size compensator that doesnt plug into your OBD port?????

If they are compatible, what change in fuel mileage can I expect and what about VP44 longevity? For my info, when do I look at larger injectors?

Well Its avertised at 2-3 mpg depending upon driving style?????? Thats up to you to debate and people on here will probably chime in. I know I have an edge on mine and just plugging it on stock lvl the truck is just a smoother operator. I would say ive gotten a lil increase in fuel but I put a Airdog 150 in as well so its hard to say about getting btr mileage. The AD says the the same mileage increase. But have I seen a 4-6 increase with the 2? ...no. I generally get 23mpg on the "make a wish overhead counter". Running it on the Mileage lvl.

As far as the VP44 There is some stickys all about VP44's at the begining of the discussion board.

Get a Fuel pressure gauge yesterday.

Injectors well its hard saying for future I assume your running the stock turbo. Id stick to 50hp-100hp sticks unless you plan for an upgraded turbo and tranny work in the future. I plan on getting 150 sticks soon but had to pay for Hot water heater. I also saving for a turbo and tranny. I just found out that Goerend Tranny is only and hour from my house.:tu:

Thanks again for your input! Calculator shows 18.5mpg for me. 23 is awesome for a truck like ours! Are larger injectors useless with only slightly modified fueling and stock turbo?

No as long as you keep an eye on your pyro.

a programmer like the comp box and a set of 40-50hp injectors will make the truck rock and still be a nice daily driver. Get the comp first then add injectors when your ready. I liked my truck with a hx35 and some marine injectors. mileage was good too.

Thanks again guys. I'll try to find out if Hypertech and Edge are compatible.

You don't wanna stack the edge with the hypertech.. I believe the hypertech advances the timing, the edge does both fuel and timing together, adding timing and timing together isn't a good thing... If you can find a fuel only chip it would work great.. Like me I run an edge ez (timing), and the older quadzilla xzillaraider which adds fuel only.

Okay. Makes sense. Can you tell me if the older Xzillaraider or similar is still available? The Hypertech is important to me because of speedo calibrations and diagnostics. And I already have it.

Nope they dont make it anymore..

i ran hypertech and comp stacked forever... i relly loved it...

Talking with an Edge rep., I found that's right. Hypertech and Edge box aren't compatible. Both control timing. What do yall know about stacking Hypertech and TST, which I believe controls fueling? Then again, what else can anybody say about Hypertech (for speedo calibrations, timing,and diagnostics)and maybe 75hp injectors?
