hardest hitting box

All the connections are good. It has not said timeout. Chip said I need to put it on the dyno and paly with multiple settings. I dont understand why different settings would affect RPM
 
I vote Adrenaline, had it for a year and haven't had a single issue. To the op, you didn't ask what the most reliable box or surge free box was. Having said that, when was the last time edge came out with a new tune for the vp guys? 4k capabilities? IQuad?(supposedly)

If you don't know the answer to that then you haven't been around very long. The Drag Comp is by far the most hardest hitting surge free box out there. And why should Edge need a hundred different tunes when the one and only IS the bomb? I realize the Comp is a dinosaur and we'd love a few more RPMs out of it, but it just plain works as is and that's what people want.
 
I've tried Edge, Redline, Quad with lots of different tunes and the Smarty. I wasn't fond of how the Redline ran but it is nasty. The Quad made the most power but it would surge. The Redline surged on my truck just as much as the Quad did. The only reason my adrenaline surged was because I was running a 4k tune most of the time. The smarty isn't worth stacking imo. It does make it a lot peppier but kills your top end. I ran the Edge the longest and loved it, but it isn't as stout as the Redline or Quad. The Edge also didn't seem as refined as the adrenaline. It would smoke a lot more under low boost and didn't pull as hard but it always ran good. I dynoed them all back to back one day and the adrenaline made the most power so if you want the hardest hitting the adrenaline has my vote (at least on my truck).

I agree. The ADR dynod 8+ peak HP more than my Drag Comp did and that was back to back testing within a half hour of each other. One thing to note though, my dyno numbers were always lower after each run if no tuning was made in between runs---I attribute that to a heat soaked motor. I dynod the Comp directly after I dynod the ADR, so the HP difference was a wash IMHO. If the ADR was as consistent and smooth as my Drag Comp I'd still have it.
 
Stack a Edge drag comp, possibly with a Redline box... Don't get fooled by good advertising and waste your money on Banks... Or just P-pump it and be done with it.

Really?? You just threw Banks out there??

So when you stack the Drag comp with the redline do you tap the wire once or twice??

Sheesh!

If your to numb to realize that was a rhetorical question then I'm truly sorry for you!!! I saw the dyno sheets from when justin swapped over to the quadzilla and the proof is on the paper man. Everyone is going to have there own opinions on this... I say if it works, use it.

I was trolling for a moron...you only tap the wire once, with the redline...a drag comp is really not needed for a stack like that becasue an EZ would do the same thing.

Now, you could switch the wire tap from one to the other...say to daily drive with the Comp, and switch to the Redline for competition...but I wouldn't have 2 wire tap boxes turned on and tapped at the same time!


JMHO,

That is unless you already own a drag comp and want to add the redline. You wouldnt sell it to get an EZ.

and i was trolling for someone to answer a stupid question thx
 
Quad box for 2 years, only had to ship it back once for sticky buttons on the pulse unit. Its been good now for over 18 months..
 
Another vote for the Drag Comp, on a side note i've seen quite a few trucks make more power on level 4:1-3 on the sub-level then they do on level 5.

My thoughts for drag racing a 24v is work with the power you have and not worry about extra RPM. Swap out the 3.55's for a 3.23 or 3.08. 3.55's and a 32" tire 3000 rpm is around 116 mph, 3.23's 3K is around 128 mph, 3.08's is 134 mph.

That's interesting considering the Drag only fuels hard to 3200 RPM on LVL- 5X5---at least on my truck it does. All other levels start to cut back fueling after 2700 RPM.

I could run a 119 MPH trap speed when I had the ADR, which I attributed to the few extra RPMs it was giving me. Gear swap would work of course, but so would a flash update to the Drag (if possible) and it would probably be cheaper. I would like to run a 29" drag radial, but I would kill my top end with my current 3.55's. Extending the RPM out to a usable (again if possible) 4K would be nice.

Is that because of the dyno operator flat footing the petal at like 1000rpms and getting way infront of the turbo, unless the lower sublevels are used? He did it to me, I billowed smoke for like 10 seconds before at 2200 the fire finally caught up and it lit and went.

Also I checked the Bluechip site, The Redline is specifically made for sledplulling it says off road use only redundantly and even says only to be run for durations of a minute or less. I wonder if there is a way to set it where it doesn't cook the wires?
