Does your truck's performance have a split personality??

BOMBing and the Truck Frame

I am a new member and have been reading the posts for about 2 weeks and have learned a lot. I still have a long way to go and need a lot of help. I am starting to bomb my 99 DDE. I am going with an edge unit. does the power edge ez add fuel or is it just a timing and boost module. the power edge unit has 3 adjustments,if you move a jumper,for different power levels. With the jumper on the mildest setting is it the eame as the power edge ez. I use this truck to tow a 15k fith wheel and need more powor for these south west passes. thanks in advance.

trbotrk,

You don't want the "Power Edge" for towing. I would recommend the EZ for that. The EZ and a set of injectors and your set.

Feel free to E-mail me.

Ed, if your going to be towing, then you want the EZ. It is designed to deliver the juice in the RPM range for towing.
Add some 275 injectors, and no worries about EGT's getting too high. Nice combination for towing. I've used it myself.

Before you do any mods install an egt gauge at the least. Here in the NM triangle egt's can get out of hand with a stock truck. I toasted an engine ( stock and a VA box, about the same as an EZ but no boost module ) the first 8 miles with the 5th wheel. I installed an egt and found that stock I was at 1200* and with the VA I hit 1300 and still climbing when I backed out. I hve since made mod's based on egt to find what works here. On a trip to Canada I found that egt's were 1250*+ in NM adn in sw Co. they dropped to 1100 and by the time I was in Idaho and Or. they maxed at 1000, in WA. max was 950. The reverse was true returning. Acceptable EGT's in one part of the country with a particular modification can be a death sentence in another.
The EZ is a good box but my experience has been that injectors will give an equal power increase with lower egt's. DD1's and a boost module will give about the same performance as an EZ with lower egt. Do you want to add fuel for power or override a computer for power????

No offense, but I'd have to disagree with the statement that injectors will give lower EGT than the EZ Edge. The EZ Edge actually LOWERS my EGT's at WOT when running it with 275 injectors and the PowerEdge - this is due to the timing advancement. The other difference is that the EZ has a built-in boost module (which the VA does not), therefore it will run lower EGT's because it gets more boost.
 
What does the EZ sell for?

Probably stands for how to hook it up. It is e z. Just a guess and it makes sense. Don't know for sure.

OOps,long day at school. He asked what does it sell for not stand for. My mistake. I think they list for 599. 00

Racechaser---DTT ,1-800-922-7782, was selling them for 529. Fred Swanson of CSC,1-623-979-0891, says he will beat that price.

I am planning on getting the E Z edge. I tried one pulling the 5er to Dallas. Makes a BIG difference. Try the edge first,you may not need any more power than this. Course you may WANT more. It is worth the money if you tow alot,or even for outrunning flower pokes.
