timing box help

[JSchutz]

An earlier post mentioned a possible increase in fuel economy with a "pure timing box". My truck already does real well--never under 18 mpg by hand calc. , but if I can offset the cost of a box with improved economy it's a win-win situation.



My questions are:

-Which boxes are "pure timing boxes", (and any recommendations?)

-Can I really expect an increase in economy?

-How safe are they--I'm a conservative driver, truck rarely sees half throttle.



Truck is a 555 '03, 94,000 miles. I tow only occaisionally, usually just hauling my vet box over mountain roads.



Thanks in advance, Jeff

JSchutz,



I don't think you'll find just a timing box as a one item mod. The main brands we sell are the Edge EZ and the van Aaken 3. 1 which are both pressure only boxes with approx 65 HP gains. The van Aaken 3. 2 is a timing and pulse width box only (no Pressure) with approx HP gains of 130 HP on 2003/04's and 110 HP on 2004. 5 and newer trucks. Can't say I have ever seen a timimg only product out there.

I'm pretty sure the TST powermax CR has a setting for timing only, just takes discipline to leave it on that setting.



Mark- are you expecting that feature out of the Juice?

Setting 1 on the TST is timing only. Setting 0 is stock. I saw 1-1. 5 mpg gain after installing it.

I run my TST on level 3/3 and get about 3 mpg better than stock.
