Best Power adder for towing?

[GaryCarter]

Looking for the latest intel on boxes & programmers or injectors. Here's my situation- I've been swapping the 35" tires back out for stock when pulling the fiver & that's getting old. What I'm looking for is about 10% more torque at 1800, I figure that will put me right back at stock pulling levels with the 35's on.



Don't want to get into the trans, turbo, head studs and all that (yet). If injectors are the way to go, I don't have any problem pulling the cover and doing injectors & studs, though.

This truck needs to stay reliable because it's our cross-country travel vehicle, and I don't want to have a meltdown halfway across the country.



A few months back I would have gone TST without hesitation, but seems like a lot of problem reports lately. Or is it just they have the lion's share of sales?



Early reports on the Smarty were good, but now driveability and shifting issues are heard.



I want power that will be reliable and get us home in one piece, plus be driveable and not twitchy or something you have to drive just right to make it behave.

So... . Am I expecting too much?



TIA-

After an Edge Ez, a Quadzilla Exillerator (a lot of serious problems and relilability issues) I have gone to a BD Xpower. I have only had it on for about 2 months but so far I am very satisfied with the BD. Driveability is excellent and at least for me I have enough power. I often run a GCVW of 22000 lbs. and occasionally I hit over 30000 lbs.

For a cheap, reliable power increase it's hard to beat an Edge EZ

Looking at the dyno charts on Edge's web site, it looks like the EZ does very little in the 1800-2000 range, most of the increase is from 2200+ revs.

The Juice does quite a bit of torque down low, though (according to the mfr. ).



I want something that's going to keep me in OD while towing. At 70 mph, I'll only run about 1800 rpm, and I don't want the truck to downshift at every moderate grade.

I like my Edge Juice with Attitude. It really picked up the bottom end.

No idea on how that would work out with the auto. But I like it with the 6 speed.
