I have an Airaid intake and the Edge Juice w/attidude in-cab. All I can say is, it sucks! My MPG drops from 18.5 to 16, even on "Mileage" mode and when I punch it, it smokes. I now have it set to stock and I am happy with it. The worst 1100$ I spent, better off with the Banks Big Hoss.

Cheers,
Lee

Can you be more specific. Any power increase? Cause if it doesn`t work it will be going back. What year truck do you have?

Yeah, there is performance increase, I have an '05, but I have to watch my EGTs a lot more, it smokes more and I don't like the fact it cuts my MPG the way it does.

Cheers,
Lee

still stock[:@]

but I am looking at either a Van Aaken C3.2, TST, or a power pup.

from my looking around of the internet the timeing/duration boxes are better for the actual mechanical end of the truck since you are not actualy increasing pump pressure that may lead to pump failure or the high pressure valve to fail. if you get a timeing/duration box they are better quality to start with, plus all you are doing is altering the injector pulse width and time of actual opening which does not harm the mechanical end.

i have an 04.5 Cummins 600 with an Airaid intake, straight pipe and a VanAaken Smart box (C3.2). the box has 3 levels - off, middle, full blast. i run daily on the middle setting and get about 16 MPG like that( i drive it like it wants to be driven). turned up, there is a huge power increase measured by the butt dyno and the spinning tires. it does smoke, but that is part of the over fueling game.

Ok, I put the stuff in. The turbo is pretty loud now, n the intake looks cool. And seriously what is not to like about the edge juice? You have a full set of gauges and on the fly power control. And it does not increase fuel pressure.
