Stay with TST comp or go Adrenaline?

Allright guys, My local dealer as a new adrenaline sitting behind the counter with my name on it if I decide I want it. My question is....with the setup in my sig, with the expection of new DDP 240 injectors and a Hi-Tech 66/71/16 turbo. Would it be worth trading my TST comp,Edge Ez, and Smarty for? I currently love my combo and it would be hard to get rid of, but with all the talk of the new adrenaline im starting to be curious.

So, I would like input from all you guys, Should I stick with my current setup or go with Quad.

ALL INPUT IS WANTED!

Ya but hes got a ez as well as the smarty and tst

I dont know what you should do but the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side" comes to mind considering your happy with what you got. Just my 2 cents

If you sell the TST, Edge EZ and the Smarty then buy the Adrenaline you should have money in your pocket for some other mods.

I just did the same here. I had the smarty, tst pm3, and drag comp. I have sold everything but the smarty and that was uninstalled and the adrenaline put in 2 days ago. I can honestly say I like the way this performs better. The touchy gas peddle is gone but at the same time I think it pulls harder than any combo I have run, My auto seems to shift different also, but maybe that all in my head I was hoping I wasn't making a huge mistake but I will honestly say I'm very happy with the Adenaline so far. No second thoughts at all now

That's it, you guys did it. I just bought one, I can't wait now, and will let you know how long a 5 speed stock clutch lasts with 180hp extra

Just watch, I get the box and truck gets sold......

Thanks for the input guys. Money is not a issue, so that is not what is holding me back. I know that if I decide to go that route I can sell my parts I have now to a buddy that is just getting started building a truck. I do like the setup I have now, but im always looking for a advantage at the track or strip. What gets my attention about Quad is the comp tunes, im thinking I could download those at the track just before a pull.

KEEP THE INPUT COMING

The Adrenaline will be like no other box out there when stage 3 hits the streets. It's already possibly the strongest box out there.

BTW, I'm selling my Drag Comp and Smarty is already in the classifieds.

Stage 3 is one of the Testing Phases... it is not a box setting or anything! Stage One was us Testing the Adrenaline with just a small Recon style monitor. Stage two will be when we start testing the Commander Monitors. Stage three has been kept secret so far but is supposed to be one of the coolest things to ever hit diesel performance! So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
