It finally happened... The Edge Comp has been removed from my truck and replaced with Quadzilla Adrenaline...

 

Ok let me back up and tell a bit of the story here. First off I've got to say thank you to several people. @Me78569 for coming for with a crazy idea that will benefit everyone. @Quadzilla Power for sending me the Quadzilla Adrenaline.

 

What is happening is @Quadzilla Power and @Me78569 figure I'm one of the few big MPG guys out there and would be awesome if the Quadzilla could possibly put me higher on my MPG high mark. So in end result, Quadzilla would have another platform of advertising at the angle of MPG's as well. As for Mopar1973Man.Com we would hold the article for how I got to my new high mark of MPG giving us the internet traffic. More or less a win, win for both sides. 

 

So out of respect for @dieselautopower (Owner of Quadzilla) and @Quadzilla Power for the module you now see their banners on the site. 

 

Now on to the learning curve of Quadzilla tuners and been bouncing back and forth between @Me78569 and @Quadzilla Power for tech support and understanding of different things. I'll also be helping out with drivers but seeing if the "Linux people" can safely update over VirtualBox. 

 

As for first impression of the Quadzilla comparing to Edge Comp. Way more power. I've posted several of my OBDLink screen shots with roughly 400 HP and 1000 FT/LBS of torque. First run with Quadzilla wide open buried my Torque gauge at 1,200 FT/LBS and past that. HP was right around 440 HP. This is about right when you math out the mods (235+50+180=465 HP) as compared to Edge Comp (235+50+120=405). This is just right out of the box setup and running @Me78569 custom tune he built for me based on his current tune he's running. So after cleaning up the code as I learn I'll get more of the power out of it. Right now comparing the smoke between Quadzilla and Edge Comp there is way less with @Me78569 current tune. So that explains why the power is a bit short yet. So with the help of @Me78569 I'll get this tune cleaned up and working better. 

 

So now on to the goal of attempting to beat the MPG high mark now. 

 

As for photos I'm too shy to take a picture of my install as of yet bit roughly installed in a hurry and want to clean it up before showing off. Also have a wild idea on install change I want to attempt to do being I like to power wash my engine a lot and also want the module easy access for flashing new tunes. (More to come here).

No the iquad was created to give you tuning on the fly. The flashing process is very old and was not designed for on the fly adjustments.

 

Dunno if you were planning on keeping the edge or not but you can't run them together.

Not at all trying to derail this thread, but just wanted to mention something I saw today. Got an email about this

http://edgeproducts.com/news/vp44-competition-juice-w-attitude/ 

I wonder how it would compare power wise to the quad. Basically it just made me wonder if this is their answer to how popular the quad has been getting lately.  Also interesting that they will now have a timing adjustment for each level. Something I really wish my Comp had...

Maybe Mike can get them to give him one to test out, see which one is better

In order to keep from derailing this, I suggest looking through this thread. @Me78569 and I put our 2 cents in.

 

http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-performance-parts-discussion/2098265-edge-jwa-level-7-update.html

I will. Thanks! Obviously you can feel free to remove my post lol I just figured it was the best spot for it. 

Since this a slower forum I can speak my mind to the edge stuff, it is fine to derail some but lets keep it limited.

 

1. They are really just trying ot suck some more money out of their customers since they are getting pushed out of the market for the newer stuff due to EFI.

2. fuel from 3200 to 3600 is next to useless for %95 of us,  The Quad fuels to 3500 rpm but there is no power up there.  

      - how will this upgrade go?  do you need to buy the "hot unlock" then buy this 7th level?  seems like a jip

3. There is 0, zippo, nadda need for more fuel down low, it is just wasted smoke.

 

They claim 150 hp over stock,  which is better than the 120 they used to claim, but I honestly don't think it is close to the quad in terms of power on a near stock truck.  

 

 

 

I want to see all this tuning they have in videos.  What happens when you lay into the throttle down low?  does it just smoke more?

 

 

 

I am curious about how they are allowing for timing adjustment.  

Edited September 14, 20168 yr by Me78569

Couldn't we use more fuel down low like the smarty? Or is the quad already covering that? That's one thing that really disappointed me with the comp vs the smarty....with the smarty I literally had no lag, it was like instant boost and smoke was manageable. The top end is way better with edge, but the lag sucks down low. 

 

Is EFI making something for VP trucks now??

With the custom tuning, you can add as much fuel down low as you want. That's why we have % of stock from 0,1,2,3, etc psi. You can put 125% of fuel at 0psi if you want, but it might be smokey. All up to you and custom!

That's awesome! You guys definitely have me sold on the quad. Sure wish I had known about it 6 months ago lol now just need to come up with some spare $$$ and sell my comp! Only negative thing about the quad is price....

Edited September 14, 20168 yr by leathermaneod

If I had a spare one I might let it be used too  

The quad comes in significantly cheaper than the edge with a screen and the to match the fueling ot 3500 rpm.  I think they want $1000 for the comp plus cts plus another $150 for the lvl 7 adjustment...

Maybe Mike will hate his and want it to disappear.....  lol

lololol just got off the phone with him....

 

Somehting like " wow it is great to tow with, there is no smoke and I still have power"

 

 

I am waiting for mike to get a video....COUGH COUGH @mopar1973man so we can show a before and after.

Yeah I realize over all it is a much better deal, but I was able to get my comp for about $450 because of my military discount, so the quad is still significantly more, even if I manage to get $500 for my comp. And I still need a android device of some kind....

No smoke and power at the same time sure will be great....

Ok.. I'll make some time tomorrow in the daylight shot a video of the Quad time now.

haha ok.   

 

you gonna make the edge video public?

Edge video??? You can't just say that and not explain yourself!

He did an edge video of driving around.  Really not terrible, wouldn't pass emissions here,  but I am excited to see the difference.

With your quads do you see your boost PSI jump all around. For instance if my boost gauge is reading 10psi the quad will bounce around 7-14psi.

 

I have pulled and cleaned my map sensor. 

That has been addressed in the new software.  We take into consideration way move reads then average.

Did you get time to do a video?   I am itching to see the difference @Mopar1973Man
