The Edge Comp Drag is about as much fuel as the VP-44 can produce. Its a great product with a nice smooth powerband. I've tried the quad but that was in the early days. The custom tuning and availability of aftermarket tunes might make the ADR a great choice for you! It will allow you to tune the truck more to your style of driving. From what I've seen it may not make the top end power of the drag comp.

It would be great if you could find people locally to let you try both. They each have their pro's and con's really. I have both and really enjoy the Adrenaline (except for the 4k issue). I like having the ability to fine tune the box using the Pulse monitor, but on the other hand it takes a while to get things just right, and some people aren't willing to spend the time. Never really had any issues with the Edge Comp, still use it on the '02 actually. In my case I have found the Adrenaline to deliver more top end than the Comp. Hope this helps.

Was just on the Dyno last weekend as a matter of fact. As far as I can tell the Quad box is good for an extra 15hp or so over the Comp box (at least in my case at any rate) YMMV.

I've run the smarty stacked with the drag comp and smarty stacked with the tst pm3 And now I'm running the Adrenaline and like more than the other 2 combo's. The adrenaline just has a lot more tuning that can be done to suit your liking or your trucks liking

Can't go wrong with either the Comp or Adr.

It would seem that only a handful of people at best have been able to fuel up to 4k rpm successfully with the Adrenaline. For most of us that is no big deal, but for those who want to compete, it certainly can be.
