RE: stacking??
the concept of stacking is useing two or more chips or a programmer and a chip to turn even more power from the engine.
some chips use all pressure to increase power. this is good for low end responce that timeing duration boxes tend to lack. but you have to be carefull and choose the stack carefull. you dont want to add a timeing box onto a box that already increases timeing, or a pressure box onto a box that increases pressure as well.
Most people that stack will take a programmer (smarty, bully dog, PPE, what have you) and stack it with a chip that is adjustable on the fly(TST, Edge, MP8, quadzilla). you would use the programmer to make most of the power gains, then use the box to tweak things to get even more out of the engine.
when you are doing this you have to be carefull to keep an eye on EGT and boost. either one gets to high you'll blow something.
Yes, I have stacked my truck in the past, TST and smarty. all I can say is WOW. I was able to do 3rd gear brake stands with ease. throttle responce was on par with a gasser and turbo lag was virtualy non existant. however things were getting quite warm EGT wise however my boost numbers were in check since my TST has a boost limit function.
hope that helps a bit.

RE: stacking??
yes that helps alot! i guess i need adviced now. i have the edge juice with attitude. im looking for something to recalibrate my speedo for my 35inch tires. im not sure if i want another device that will also add more power, or if i want something strictly to do somethinig with the speedo. what could some options be for me? another thing im looking to do is not spend more than $400 or so. thanks again

RE: stacking??
Hey Drew, when you were talking about bully dog just being a programmer, well I have the triple dog with the outlook monitor and both are adjustable on the fly. So, with that capability and the outlook being plugged into the ecm constant, what are my options for stacking, i cant get this one figured out.
