Received my Power Edge module the other day
and installed it yesterday. I took a few pics
with my digital camera that I may post elsewhere soon.
Results: Fantastic! I love the truck now more
than ever! Plenty of power. I gave a friend of mine a ride today and he said that my truck runs stronger and accelerates quicker that a truck it's size deserves to. Basically he got out after the ride giggling his ass of and shaking his head! He's quite impressed. (My truck is a 3500 QC 4x4, the heaviest RAM you can get).
Technical notes: EGT rises very quickly along with boost now. Have to watch the EGT very carefully since it is no problem to go beyond
1300 deg now. Stock the max I saw was 950, not towing. Max stock boost is 19 (ETC 5spd).
With the Edge on setting 3, max boost is 21
and starts surging (defueling) after a few seconds but acceleration is VERY strong for a
truck this size. I NEED A BOOST ELBOW! Or something. Any ideas? For those of you in the know, (TX Ram, HVAC?) I can take a pic of
my stock elbow going to the wastegate. I have
a 2001; the first part is brass, then a rubber hose.
I guess I need more boost, and 4" exhaust to keep the EGT in check. I hate having to back off the throttle to keep EGT below 1100 or so. Acceleration is no better than stock when I hold the pedal to maintain 1100 deg.
Sorry if this got too long! More info to come.
I am gonna call Taylor at Power Edge tomorrow and see what he has for me as far as a boost "faker"/module/elbow, whatever it's called now...
