  Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
I ordered an Edge Juice performance module with the Attitude Monitor for my truck. When I get back from Oswego, I plan on installing it. It advertises an added 120 horsepower and 350 extra ft-lbs of torque, with 5 adjustable levels that I can change on fly.

Level 0: no added horsepower, a 1.3 MPG increase in fuel economy
Level 1: 40 extra horsepower, 150 ft-lbs more torque
Level 2: 60 extra horsepower, 200 ft-lbs extra torque
Level 3: 80 extra horsies, 250 ft-lbs extra torque

After Level 3, I run the risk of destroying my stock torque converter If I push it too hard.

Level 4: 100 more HP, 300 ft-lbs added torque
Level 5: 120 extra horsepower, 350 pounds more torque over stock

We'll see exactly how much this makes my truck go faster.


Another added plus, it will tell me the exact fuel pressure going into the troublesome Bosch VP44 injector pump. The stock lift pump has a habit of dying on these trucks, and shortly after, the 2000 dollar injector pump will chew itself up from overheating and lack of lubrication. Just another added piece of mind.

Install pics to come. Hopefully I'll have time to bomb around before I get shipped off to South Korea at the end of the month.
 
Comments:
they don't give you the option of "negative" levels with less-than-stock HP, torque and fuel consumption? At least one level of this might be useful for long trips and such...

It is still very good looking and looks like brand new. These models are really good in quality. Kenworth Exhaust
