Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Comp or Juice owners: What's your setting?

[BDaugherty]

I would like to hear from others running either a Juice w/Attitude or Comp box what settings you have found to work well for mileage, smoke control, towing, etc.



I've got a '01 HO 6spd truck with Edge Juice w/Attitude. I pretty much only use three settings: level 1 sublevel 4, level 4 sublevel 1, and level 6 sublevel 5. I use 1/4 for daily driving and mileage, 4/1 for towing, and 6/5 for "driving under the influence of testosterone". I'm running stock injectors and turbo with a PSM intake and AFE Progaurd 7 filter. I've even got the stock downpipe with a magnaflow muffler and no resonator. (I'm either gonna sell the truck or add a real exhaust at the same time as a turbo) The best mods so far other than steering have been the Walbro lift pump complete with big fuel lines and the Fumoto engine oil drain plug.

I use 2/3 for towing anything under 10,000. and turn it off to tow heavy. (egts will get high) for driving to work i keep her on 3/3 and drive with a light foot. My drve is 25 miles all freeway. In town i turn it to 1/1, but alwase ready to crank her up to 5/5 and let her rip



I guess i did not really answer the milage part but i average 17mpg all hand done. that is 80% freeway.

tow on edge 0 with smarty on 8 =) unless im crazy then 5x5 with smarty 8 to stop traffic in lanes (ordering hot unlock this week, i seem to be running outta fuel now adays)

Hot Unlock all the time. I have a 200 mile commute from Salem to Grants Pass every weekend and I've done lots of milage testing, almost 3yrs now. The overhead computer is 3mpg over actual, and the hot unlock with no cruise just a steady foot (no smokin) nets me 24-25 mpg empty.

With the mods in my sig, I run the Comp on 1x1 for everything but towing - and even then too out on the flatlands - most I normally use towing, in the mountain grades, is 3x3 - setting above that are strictly for putting Fords and GM stuff in the rearview mirror...



Empty in mixed mountain/flat terrain, a bit over 22 mpg - 60 MPH - and towing at about 14K GCW, a best of just over 17 MPG in same driving...

I like 3/3 for all my towing and driving needs, hit the up button twice and look out 5/5 things get really black. I just installed new SB clutch no more slip but now i am having trouble shifting into 3rd gear. Just my luck the way things happen, if it only would have started giving me trouble 3 weeks early when i had the trans out. SOS

 

[MOtero]

5x3 to keep the smoke down a lil bit. 17-18 mpg mixed driving all hand calculated.

 

[KLockliear]

5x3 for daily driving. 3x2 for towing.

 

[SHughes]

I run mine on 3x1 for all occasions, except messing with ricers, then it goes to 5x5.



I also run it stacked with a Smarty on level 8, and slightly larger sticks than stock.



I ran the Juice the same with the Smarty on 4 when I had the stock turbo. Get yourself an SPS62 and bigger exhaust!!!

 

[TomGolden]

I have the "hot" Comp box on my truck. I usually run 3x3 in winter, and drop back to 2x2 in summer to keep smoke levels down with the warmer/less dense air. I rarely tow, and drive the truck the same way regardless of Comp setting (except when drag racing). I have not observed any significant mileage difference, I get between 17 - 18 MPG consistently, all hand calculated since truck was brand new.

 

[BlitzkriegSSII]

I have the comp drag, I run 1X1 around town and 5X5 to smoke inports. :-laf But Im also running Mach 4's. With stock size tires and 1X1 im getting around 18. 5 when its warm up here and im easy on it.

 

[Rattler]

I have been running around on 4x1 for a while now. Empty around town, i have been seeing 19. 5 and this past weekend towing the car, i was seeing 17 at a steady 70 mph. Randy

 

[SethA]

I drive on 3X5 around town and light on the throttle at the stop lights to keep the smoke down have been gettin 18 hand calculated which is better that what i would get on stage 1 or 2. My dad (01 automatic) and a friend (02 6 spd) also found they get better on stage 3, and of course 6X5 when its needed

 

[cArNiVaLwOrKeR]

I have did 2 hand calculations so far, on a short 200 mile trip, all Interstate, no traffic under 70, 20MPG LVL1X1 and city/interstate 17. 7, hand calculated, and that includes a FEW SMOKINGS



Its too hard to drive under 70 and LVL1X1, especially when theres Idiots cutting me off and doing stoopid stuff, I juss cant resist clicking it up to 5X5 and dropping the Lead onto the Peddle

I have mispelled several words here, I do it on purpose, so I can sould like my fellow Diesel Bruthers
