Best 24v Fueling & or Timing Box Available. LONG POST

[klaybus]

Hey guys... . Need some help here. Back in August of this year I thought my EZ was acting up so I paid an upgrade fee & went to a Comp. After installing the Comp without the tap, I still had a slight intermittant miss only while pulling our 5vr over the pass or on a hard pull. Spoke to Rip & he suggested that perhaps the VP was tired at 198k miles. Replaced my VP & my miss was gone & I found power I hadn't had for quite a while! A couple hundred miles after I installed the new pump I tapped the wire & wow, this is awesome! Lotsa power now even with my little 275 injectors...

FAST forward... As the weather started getting cold I started experienciing the problems with my Comp not wanting to power up. I spoke to Edge & they said they had a software cure for this & to send it in. I did, got a updated Comp from them & it didn't solve the powering up issue & to compound it, it also sometimes wouldn't even fuel via the tap or otherwise! I spoke to Edge again on Monday, told them this was ridiculous & to send me a frickin EZ as the last one I had was trouble free.

I received the EZ today via UPS, hooked it up & WHAM!! CEL came on & truck went into limp mode! WTF?? I drove over to my bros house, plugged his Smarty in & it read "Low voltage at MAP Sensor". Cleared the code, started truck, CEL, Low voltage at MAP Sensor code again! Checked connections, cleared code, WHAM CEL again, same code. Unplugged EZ & returned to stock & cleared code & all is well again but what good is having new injectors when your running 19-20 lbs boost with no timing & fueling provided electronically?



I NEED A FUELING & TIMING BOX RECOMMENDATION THAT IS NOT AN EDGE PRODUCT! I want to try something different because the luck I've had lately has not been good.

Paul has recommended the TST as a GREAT choice. I see many are running the Drag Comp but I'm a bit gunshy of Edge as I think their QC has gone South or perhaps to the Far East! 3 Edge boxes in 4-5 weeks is beyond friggin rediculous in my book! I'm not sure I wanna tap my pump again or not but I would assume you can run the TST like in a EZ type mode? Would that be correct? I wouldn't mind trying the Smarty again but with the auto trans I just don't think I'll be as happy as the stick guys... Opinions please!



Thanks,

Clay

There are a few good fueling only boxes out there... . TST pm3or TSTpm3comp as mentioned... . an APB from blue chip... . an FMS from blue chip... . and a REDLINE... also from blue chip, but that is mainly a competition only box. I have the apb and like it very much it was an honest 100hp to the ground on my truck and its the cheapest.

As far as the timing boxes go they are... . XZT+ from quadzilla... . Van AAken... ... smarty..... diablo power puck... . those are just a few. My vote out of all of these would be the box from quad. Its is updatable like the smarty and you can install programs to fit your needs... . check them out.

Or you can get a boost fooler from a number of places such as Haisley Machine for around 50 bucks and just run the injectors..... hope that helps.

My truck also had problems with the edge comp box.

I went thru 3 of them.

Whem the chance came up to go to the TST comp PMS bos I did. I aslo have the Smarty.

IMO, it can't be beat.

I hear the Blue chip box UFM is the hottest, I have not tried it.

I have had NO problems with my Power Max 3 in 4 years.

Not trying to hijack the thread but is the edge comp the same as the juice without the ability to hook up the attitude?



You would think that with all the features edge built into their Juice/Attitude they would have incorporated the ability to upgrade the software over the internet. Would save a lot of shipping costs for troubleshooting.

Spoke to Edge today & their sendiing me a new EZ that I'll get tomorrow. Hopefully the new box will work as good as my original EZ. If all else fails, I think I'm going to give the Smarty a try. I'm a little leary because of some of the threads I've read regarding the auto trans & the Smarty but I'll give it a whirl!
