How were the EGT's on that run? I am hoping for the mid to upper 400's and if it breaks 5 that would be awesome.

Well I finally got my truck on the dyno, she did 559hp and 1045ft lbs. I think the torque number would have been higher if there would have been a little more preload as the turbo wasn't fully spooled until fairly late. I was just running the juice w/attitude on level 6 for electronic stuff. I tried a smarty and hated it. Little quicker on the bottom end but it felt weaker all the way through the RPM range after initial spool up. I tried level 4 and it would pull harder at 3/4 throttle than full, I know it wasn't an apps issue because I can see the throttle position on the edge. Once I got past a certain point the truck would just nose over and lose about 10 pounds of boost, take my foot out of it a little and it would pick right back up. I tried it on level 8 and it didn't nose over at full throttle and it pulled harder than level 4 but it was still lower boost numbers than just the edge. Some other guys tried the smarty after I did and they liked it on their trucks so the smarty was working fine, but for the two of us that had the hot VP's it was no good.

I have to say I'm really liking the injectors and the turbo I have, cleans up all the smoke once the turbo spools so I'm burning all the fuel and the EGTs stay in check.I mean it leavesa very lite almost colorless haze but it doesn't smoke like it used to. I can still smoke people out if I want to, I just have to do it before the turbo fully spools.

On that note, Edge recommends that only Levels 1-3 are used unless you've done tranny upgrades. So are Levels 4 and 5 outta the question for me? And are the numbers you quoted FROM a Level 5 output?
