Hot Juice Really Hot???

[DerekK]

I have my hot juice unlocked and it seams unusable. I called Edge because I see 1500degrees in just a few seconds. When I talked with Edge they said "no prob, for a single 1/4 mile pass thats no prob, just disable your safety measures and have at it. " I told him as fast as it hits 1500 it seams as though it would reach 1800 no prob before I hit a full 1/4 mile. He said "Yea, well we hit 1800 on our test truck on the dino with the hot juice. "



This sounds way wrong, I hear so many differing opinions on egts, what is safe and what is not, but what is the real deal. I have not tried to implement Edge's advice, but I still don't know what I should be looking for to get a happy medium of good performance and tolerable egts. from a dead stop wo it takes me to about 75mph before I reach 1350 in level 5. Does that sound normal with an Aurora 3000, magnaflo 5", and Banks intercooler?



Okay, two part question.

thanks to any who have advice or personal experience with hot juice.

My truck does the same thing. I was told by some other people that edge put a saftey of 200 degs on their box. We run the hot juice on our 06 d-max. we have the edge egt reading off a BD manifold and an autometer reading off the other manifold. there is a difference of 250 t0 300 degs.

So are you saying that when my egts read 1500, that maybe its really only 1200? That would make some sense. I guess I could just plumb another pyro on my Ats manifold and see real numbers. And do you run up to that kind of egt on your attitude box or will I be picking up pieces of valves out of my muffler if I try it?

To each their own I have seen 1700 deg running the dodge only to beet the d-max. and the d-max hits 1600 on hot. If you invest in a turbo you will be in good shape. Idustrial Injection has a sweet line of turbos. Or a water meth system.
