Should I buy a Juice with Attitude while there is a nice rebate and stick with my Jammer 2 injectors or go to a big set of sticks (150-200hp range) and run my current Edge Pulse rated @ about 110hp/275tq? The goal is upgrade to a set of twins by summer and I still need to tow with my truck. Which route would you guys suggest? And for the love of God are there any twin kits out there that are cheaper than $3250?
Dont really want to spray just to pull a trailer..haha
 
Juice/att will not add power over pulse but will add in-cab adjustment and gauges.
Quad ADR will add 70hp AND gauges.
 
Going to a bigger injector might not be a good idea until the twins are on if you are still runnin the stock hx35, i toasted mine but u might have better luck, but id go about a 200hp injector if you goin with twins and are still towing with it.
 
upgrade the edge to a drag comp and then run 150 sticks its a great combo
 
Right now Im running the hx35 but plan to upgrade real soon. Heres where Im stuck... Ive seen the power of an ADR first hand, but Ive also seen many issues with it so I prefer to stick with Edge with a slight loss of potential power. The Comp I had before was reliable but wasnt a Drag Comp. I already have a pyro and boost guage and the truck wont top 1050 as it sits, pre-turbo, no spray. All in all, I have good self control so I think I could make the truck live for the time being with just a boost fooler and 150/200hp sticks.
main questions:
Is there any real difference between J/A Hot and a Drag Comp?

I have made up my mind on brand of injectors. Would SDX 150s or 200s work better in a hx35/40 over S475 setup?

Why dont more people run SDX injectors? They are half the cost of the closest competitor -quality wise.

TURBOLVR, you are one of the only people I have ever run across that knew what an Edge Pulse is.... Its an outdated but highly effective box IMO.
 
Iv only ran the drag comp but do you gave fule pressure gauge I only saw pyro and boost?

I appreciate your concern, you have been trained well by the Cummins crowd or perhaps through personal experience. But, No, I no longer run a FP guage. I cant even drive if there is one in the cab because thats the only thing I pay attention to. Too much time on these forums created a stigma. I had a FP guage, ran good pressure and watched the guage like a hawk, still lost a VP.... so I said EFF-it and took the guage out. I run a FASS HPFP and change the silver inline filter before the FASS as well as the canister filter on the side of the engine every 5k miles no questions asked. I also have the older version of FASS that is very audible at all times. I would know within seconds if it quit.


ja-mudder is your comp the Drag version? *edit* i just re read the post and see that you do run the Drag. Id like to know the difference.
Ive never run the drag version, only the standard issue. Mine was an early box though and the map sensor was giving trouble once and a friend let me borrow just his box which was brand new. I plugged it into my harness and it seemed to have a completely different tune on it. Much milder.

Its been so long since I have run a comp I couldnt even tell you the difference between the Edge Pulse and Edge Comp.
 
Sorry I miss lead you iv only ran the drag comp never just the comp. On my truck, now I dont know what year your truck is but the biggest differance iv seen between trucks is when a guy buys a comp box with a different turbo set up. I have a truck sold as a 99 but bulit 12-98 and it a auto. Now in 98 they ran a hx35 turbo on everything some time in 99 they went to a hy35 on the autos. So i sold my first drag box to a guy with a 99 but he did not know this info and he had a hy35 and there was a bit of a power loss. Hope this helps.

Its cool man. My truck is an 01 SO, 5spd, with an hx35. Im just so unstable on what I want to run it aint even funny. Now Im thinkin twins, 150s, and only a boost fooler. Just want a tame, strong, reliable setup. To be honest Im really not happy with any timing/fuel setup Ive ever run. The factory fuel curve is impossible to beat in terms of driveability.

Iv seen 200hp sticks send the hx35 and the hx40 through the motor id run 100's with the hx35 and 150 on twins if you plan to tow alot, if not the Best set up Iv ever seen is 64/71/14 with 200hp sticks, it had low egt's still was able to tow and it was NOT just a big dumb smoke show.
