I just ordered an edge drag comp for my 99 cummins. My truck is mainly stock it has a 100hp hotrod VP44, Suncoast valve body, and a stock converter with billet cover. Now I no I should not run it on 5x5, but what would be a good level to put it on just to screw around and have a little power and fun without killing the transmission? Has anyone ever had an edge on a stock truck? Any information would greatly help. :thankyou2:

Thanks Chris
 
Once you tap that wire the HRVP will be nothing more than an SO vp. Run the drag comp on level 5 and don't do boosted launches or burnouts and your transmission will be alright.
 
A lot of it will depend on the history of the truck/trans. A good friend of mine toasted his converter with only a Juice (similar hp as the comp), and he didn't do anything harsh like boosted launches.
 
my cummins can kill a stock tranny with an edge juice and some other mods in 5 weeks i know im about to put an ats in it
 
Yeah i already have a good VB so i guess i will be doing a converter sooner than i wanted.. lol. Thanks for all of your input. Keep the input coming i am interested to hear more about people with a drag comp

Thanks Chris
 
Well lets see here. My truck was bone stock with 30,000 on the clock when I installed my Drag Comp, intake, and exhaust. Then came the DDP110's and HTT turbo. After I got bored with that combo. I went crazy, and bought some DDP Comp 250's and an S475. I didnt do any boosted launches with that combo. I hammered on it quite a few times. It sucked for driving though. Then I switched to a 62/71/14 from HTT and some SDX 150's. Thats a good street combo. Much more driveable, but the tranny died the first time I took it out. Finally after 60,000 miles of abuse my freak of a stock trans had enough.

Never heard of this... So leaving the wire un tapped would be better or worse? Im not much on VP trucks
 
^ wow, should have bought a lotto ticket with that kind of luck keepin that freak alive that long lol
 
With just the comp box you should be ok for a while as long as you don't have it on 5x5 ALL the time leaving every stop hard, just drive it kind of smart which it sounds like you probly will
 
I ran 150's, comp, and a 62mm turbo for two years on a bone stock 60k mile trans with nothing but a DTT vb and never had an issue. And I religiously beat on mine. No boosted launches or burn outs though.
 
Thanks a lot for the input. Yeah i think i ill be ok for a little while. The tranny was rebuilt before i bought the truck. Can't believe you guys could put injectors,turbo, and all that on a stock tanny!
 
These transmissions are tougher than people make them out to be if you use a little common sense.
 
Yeah, I didn't think the dodge tranny's were that bad but everyone makes then out to be so idk. I will be rebuilding the tranny this summer probably
 
75k on my truck, no boosted launches, had been running an Edge EZ, then a drag comp with no wire tap for about 20k miles... 3 weeks after tapping the wire... trans would slip if I got on it hard... it just got worse from there... Upping the line pressure would help I think... I never did. But it did last me another 6 months until I could afford to go to Goerand Bros. I just couldn't turn it up, cuz it would slip on any setting on the edge.
