Default Adrenaline Installed

Well I installed the adrenaline yesterday and unloaded the smarty and drag comp. What a difference in the way my truck shifts. Much smoother. I haven't had a chance to really run it yet because our roads are all ice and snow packed. More power right now is not what I needI did download the aggressive tune and the comp tune so I'm just waiting for the weather to straighten out a bit. I may download one of the tunes with all the features to check them out such as turbo timer high idle defueling and so on. My 3 cylinder warm up from the smarty should still be in the ecm, but I noticed yesterday that my truck after sitting at idle for a couple minutes went into high idle 1200rpm after it was warmed up even. Nice feature. I didn't hook up all the other little features yet tranny temp oil temp pyro. I already have gauges so not a real big issue right now but I would like to get them hooked up to compare with my gauges. Install is pretty simple. I like it so far. will let you know more when I can actually run it

Thanks to Luke @ Dieseldawgs performance for his great service.

drove on the highway today with just the aggressive tune set at 10 and it runs pretty strong. Couldn't really get on it yet because of road conditions. But where I did find a short stretch with no ice and snow this thing was very strong. I would say it is all of the smarty drag comp stack or smarty tst pm3 stack. I can hardly wait to break out the comp version and give it a good run. The power seems so much smoother.

Thanks for the info Lostnwalmart. I will have to download one of those programs also and give it a try.Maybe I will throw a turbo timer in also. I have to try that too. One other thing I noticed is just running empty at highway speed egt's seem to be much lower. I just wish I knew the power settings better to do more apples to apples comparison. A lot to learn about this thing yet, but its all fun

Need injectors now to make some more smoke! ....And wow does it shift nice. With the rebuid I have on mine its really quick and smooth. A+

Putting mine on next week after finals, I would be too tempted to play and not study.
