tcr,
I still have the Edge EZ that has boost fooling and will put it back on today. I will leave the pressure off and keep the SMARTY on level 5. I'll check to see if there's any difference with boost fooling.

10-4 sounds good. I'm trying the newest Moderate TM right now, OMG I forgot what a sensitive throttle was like, I can't imagine the WILD TM

MikeyB

I have the EZ on with no pressure. My god I forgot how sensitive the throttle was with the EZ. It's wicked with the SMARTY fueling hard down low.
I will be doing some towing next weekend so I'll know if it's makes a difference.
If boost fooling does have a positive effect I may purchase Quad's boost fooler.

I'm not sure how Marco designs these programs, but I'm now running the 03-05.5 MILD TM version for stock injectors and an aftermarket turbo(and yeah mine is stock), and I now have EVERY BIT of mid&top end pulling power back. From 65-110mph it pulls hard and I never see below 32psi(pegging my 35psi gauge. I don't know what gives, or what's different w/ these softwares, but this one rocks! Now, I just need my new turbo

MikeyB

Cool.
Did you see a drop in EGTs?

MikeyB

Nope, not at all. I'll see as high as 1350-1400*. That's w/o the Quad Race in the mix, 1500* is easy to get to if you add a little pressure w/ the Smarty w/ the stock turbo on my truck.

MikeyB

1500! Wow, you need a bigger turbo.
Personally I wouldn't go pass 1250 on our HO engines. Don't want to drop a valve seat.

I know, I know.... I'm trying to decide on one right now. I'm thinking the HTB2 62/14, but I really dont want very much turbo lag. I also don't know if a 62/12 housing will run cool enough on the big end. As you can tell, I just don't know much about these turbos and I dont want to buy one w/o being convinced it's going to be everything I want.

MikeyB

I hear you, turbos can be confusing.
I think either the 62/12 or 62/14 will work great. I believe Dodgezilla got over 500hp using a 62/12.
Also the ATS Auroras are getting good reviews, the 2000 and 3000 models.
There are some good threads here on turbo discussions.

i'm running the sps 62/14, not the 12. there isnt much lag just with the quad box, and with the smarty, hardly any at all. the 14 will stay cooler than the 12, but there is a difference in lag. not much.

The only problem I am having is I NEED MORE AIR!!! My stock turbo isnt providing enough air and I am hitting 1400 FAST!!!!

dodgezilla04

1400*? I didnt hit that with both the smarty on 8 and quad maxed out. get that turbo.

Dodgezilla, can I borrow that SPS 62/14? No, seriously what is the difference in the HTB2 62/14 and the SPS 62/14?

dodgezilla04

i cant answer for the htb unit.

the sps is super phat shaft. the super part means i can send the turbo back to II and they can make it into a 66. so the turbo has room to grow, and i dont have to buy a completely new unit when i outgrow this one. and II claims the fat shaft is less susceptible to breakage, which is good, cause i bark this one alot.

"Dodgezilla, can I borrow that SPS 62/14?" sure, come on over, dinner is at 6:30

the driveability issue with the EZ/SMARTY stack was really bugging me, so I disconnected the Rail Pressure Sensor on the EZ side. The smooth throttle input is back. So the EZ even in the off state is still jacking with the rail pressure. I noticed the extra amount of black smoke I got compared to running the SMARTY by itself.
So the only thing the EZ is doing now is boost fooling.
