I can’t believe there’s this much talk about tuners and no one has mentioned the best one available for a 24 valve, the Quadzilla Adrenaline. It can function as a plug & play like an Edge, or at your option can be custom tuned as much as you like. No other tuner is as effective for dialing in...

Not cheap - but a good deal for what you get... here’s the good stuff: http://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=2G%2ERAM%2ERETRO

You should also look into the Quadzilla Adrenaline tuner rather than the very-obsolete Smarty. I have a low-stall converter and I have mixed feelings about it. It makes the truck kind of a pain to drive when unloaded, it doesn’t want to stop. If you’re in heavy traffic you’re excessively...

If you have a Quadzilla and you are running the new "V2" software, the only way an Edge EZ is smoother or better in any way is if you haven't tuned it properly. All an EZ can do is bump the timing a preset amount and bump fueling a preset amount. A Quad can do that too if you want it to, or you...

Are you sure they're tightened up enough? Mine don't do that. You have to really crank 'em down.

They must be loose if that's what's going on. Mine are tight and there's no drama with shutting the doors.

I used to run RV275s and an Edge EZ, it wasn't very powerful but EGT wasn't ever a problem.

They do, a small amount. It's not bad but it's not perfect.

Depends how close to Seattle you are. I just took a nice set off my truck so I could install 3rd-gen flip-out power and heated mirrors. Which is what you should do! I hated washing around all those brackets.

I should also say - Genos is a great outfit, I once had a problem with an incorrect part shipped to me and their person who handles such things was on vacation, yet still answered my email and had the right stuff overnight-aired to me. For what that costs, they probably lost money on my...

Camper "dry weight" is a meaningless and misleading number that you should never take as fact. In the real world, truck campers are generally 1000 pounds heavier. "Dry weight" doesn't just mean empty tanks (and you don't leave on a trip with empty tanks anyway!!) but no equipment - no battery...

HAHAHAhaha.... that's it!!!!!

You know what, I think I'm mistaken, it appears there's an exemption for diesel fuel... FMVSS 393.67) 7.4.5. Fuel withdrawal fittings. Except for diesel fuel tanks, the fittings through which fuel is withdrawn from a fuel tank must be located above the normal level of fuel in the tank when the...

I'm a hot rodder too and I like your truck a lot. I used to get my F150 that I swapped a very not-stock '68 428 into past its emissions test by running about 75% alcohol during the test. I've done lots of not-by-the-book engine swaps. I'm just mentioning this since the thread seems to recommend...

Bigger injectors aren't going to reduce your smoke. Getting rid of the Smarty and going to a Quadzilla Adrenaline will, because you can tune it out. I run 7x.010 "150 HP" injectors without being smokey because of the Quad's tuneability.
