Gentlemen: Seems to me that a larger fuel system and a larger turbo are in order to support an additional 150-HP!!!

I know and if the system is capable of 150 yet no products are available to keep EGT's in check then the 150 has no meaning, might as well be 250.



I would be interested to know how much HP the system can be set at that maintains decent EGT's with a stock truck.

Hey I don't know if anyone has alredy posted this but I think the tst remote control head unit would fit nicely in the ash tray area with a little work.

Well, for what its worth.



I have DDII's and TTPM set on level 4. That is 75 hp + 65 HP. 140 increase or close to it. I can completly control EGT's with my foot. However, I can also hit 1400* easily when towing if I go flat foot. This truck is different than the 01 I had. If you lift just a little bit then I get a reduction in egt's. With the bully dog box on Kill it is a different story. you can not tow very well in hill areas.

Matt if the TST box is anything like there older PM3 boxes (and they sure look the same) when you set power level you can disconnect phone sytle plug under unit and comp box will keep last level set. Good for valet type power control.

OMG I hadn't even thought of a valet issue, that could get ugly in a hurry Thanks Bill.

Hey Greg, thanks for the info... one more reason gages are so important.

Greg, How are your clutches holding up? I slipped mine bad for the first time yesterday, first time it wouldn't hold, jumping on her in 3rd gear while playing with a ricer..... it didn't sound pretty!

oh well guess it is time for an upgrade...

 

[Greg Boardman-RIP]

My clutch is fine for now. Tires on the other hand are toast.

Edge?

Has anyone tried to get on the edge page? I just tried and it seems as though they have updated their page. If you thought it was bad before, and slow, wait until now(at least for me). It took me over 25 minutes to get some of the home page to come up. I tried messing with that page for an hour and got NO WHERE. I went right to the tst page and a couple of others and the connection is working fine. I thought their page was way to slow before ,but right now it is worse than downloading video clips on dial up.





has anyone else tried today , let me know how it was for you. I figured that since the site was updated that their new box might be listed

LOL, I tried for 45 minutes... I have 56K modem but never see over 26. 4 due to the location I am in. In that 45 minutes I saw enough to be pleased with the new look but didn't know it was possible to make the slowest site on the net even slower



I want to tell them but hate to sound like some whiner.



Can someone with DSL or Satellite access try and get us some info on the Dodge Attitude?

If you have a Hot Rod connection please give it a try here.



If not and you have a nice way of keying them in on their web site performance, pop them an email here

 

[Blownaway]

Site is very,very slow at work, I think I have a T-1 or something, usually really fast.

 

[DBurkhard]

The Edge website has been revamped (and unfortunately even slower) and shows product boxes for both the EZ and the Attitude. The site no longer says "Coming Soon". However, if you click on the 2003 or 2004 model years, ONLY the EZ is displayed.



It seems Edge is showing they have a nice design for the Attitude box, but no product to put in it yet.

As I have said before,

The slowness of their website is unacceptable.



They can afford to put some money into a server/T1 line setup.



For most of us, their site is our first impression.



What a poor first impression.



TST on the other hand, has always had a decent website. (not great, but at least it loads fast)



Guess who I buy from!

 

[JHardwick]

My money goes to the best box, not the most impressive website.



I'd rather see them spend man hours on R&D, not web design

 

[DPKetchum]

Cheez. sometimes when a Webb page is revamped or new it takes a little to work bugs out hence slow and then it starts to go ok. Give them a day or so and see them. I bet they are aware its got a problem

 

[Fred Swanson]

Geez, sounds like a whiner session. Some of you guys just love to complain. Get over it.



Edge will announce when they are ready. Some of you guys are dogging them because you can't get info.

How quickly we forget, they do make world class products.



Go buy a TST, if you can get one. Oh wait, you have to be on a list for them, too.



Are we gonna start complaining about TST if they don't deliver?



These sounds more like grumblings than rumblings.

 

[TheWolf]

glad i an not the only one having trouble.



I am not gonna say that I will not buy the best box for me because of what the web site is like, but as said, it is there to promote their business . not that it has to be the greatest, because tst site isn't the best either , but I don't think it is a very good impression to any potential buyer.



The site might be nice and all, but if you can't view it, it doesn't really matter. I didn't like visiting the old site either because of how slow it was, and hope with a bigger name in the business that something like this would not be a problem. Maybe with the update something isn't just right with the site and they will get it fixed soon. I hope.



I can understand a minute or two to open up, esp with dial-up, but now adays with all the things out there I would hope that the site is not slower!



I just wanted to check in the new attitude , because on Trucks today, Stacy installed a juice on a new duramax an I liked the controller they have over the one offered from tst

 

[XcumminsX]

i agree w/ fred. CHILLAX guys. Would you rather have something done right or something rushed to you that will screw up your truck because everyone was complaining it wasnt out yet.

 

[TheWolf]

Hello

I am NOT complaining about the edge products or NOT complaining about them being out yet!why





all i am asking is if anyone else is having troubles with viewing their site or if it was just me!



Like I said after watching a show today I like what i had seen with the edge controller and wanted to see if edge had put it on their site yet, since they were supposed to release info by the end of the year. I like the edge controller over the tst one and wanted to see what info was on the site.



When I tried to view the site I could see that it was changed , and for ME a lot, lot slower . Just wanted to see if someone else could get on and see if the info is on there. I am not trying to rush anyone.



That's all, NOT trying to:-{}

Doesn't it cost $$$ for a real good website? It would seem that the better, faster website would cost more $$$ to get and run. They gotta pay for that somehow. How many boxes do you have to sell to recoup your r&d costs, initial setup and marketing? I know you have to get the message out somehow but take Mark over at TST I bet he's not making a million $$'s out of this stuff.
