Best Power Programmer? Bully vs. Banks vs. Edge vs. Hypertech etc.

[DBabbitt]

I'm been hauling cars on a 3 car wedge for several months now. I want to add some power to the truck ('06 QC CTD DRW 48re 3. 73's 4x4 - click link below to see) and have been looking at the Edge Juice w/ A2 controller & the Banks 6 gun with the power PDA. I don't have any gauges in the truck now so I like the fact that both of these set ups will substitute for gauges. But i wonder what other brands are out there and how they compare. I have already done the AFE stage 2 intake and plan on doing at least a cat back to go with it.

I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced several of the programmers and knows how they compare. My primary needs are more torque, better MPG's and system monitoring but I would enjoy dialing up some fun on the weekends too.



Thanks,

Dan.

Sold & installed an Edge But he opted for the attitude monitor, Its nice to get all the gauges in one package, it adds about 100hp +/- The cooldown timer is a really nice feature, it can be programmed to idle till a desired temp is reached or for a certain amount of time. The PDA is cool but I dont like the docking station the way it hangs off the dash. Either one is nice.

Went to several truck accessory shops today here in the Denver area. I asked around at each one which programmer they recommend. They all told me the Edge by far but when I asked why they told me the same thing. Reliability, great customer service and great quality in the construction (almost word for word!). All positive traits for sure but I think they are speaking from an installers point of view, not a driver. When I asked which one had the best performance I found out the only one they had sold & installed was the edge. One guy installed a six gun but it was defective so they switched it out for an edge.



Just a little FYI...

Even though I don't have one, if I had it to do all over again, I would have got the TST PowermaxCR... . I have heard nothing but good stuff about that thing and you can get great fuel economy and power.
