New TST with Rail pressure and adj timing

Does anyone have the new TST box with the adjustable timing and built in rail pressure. Im just wondering if the rail pressure adjustment is as strong as as stackin with mp8 or an ez. Any other imput would be nice, I really want one but wondering how well the new adjustablility features work. Thanks Joel.

I just put mine on Fri without my mp8. TST with rail pressure on 3 hit 26.9 to 27klbs on rail pressur. Once I get time I will put my mp8 back on and see if I can feel a diff. I couldnt tell much diff from regular settins with rail off to bumpin it up to 3. I doubt I will ever go higher than 3 cause 27k is a little higher than I would like to run.

By the way, I see no reason not to get the rail option, it is the same price and you get a rail guage.

As far as adjustable timing, I think that is more for the big boys and I aint there yet so I leave mine on auto.

WAP, Auto what....auto 3,6,9,12,15, or 18 degrees....you can choose auto for any one of these settings....Without a stack Auto 18 is the mileage setting on 1/0 and a noticeable amount of power and cooler on the higher settings. If your stacking Auto 6 is probably the choice. ks

I was under the impression that if left on auto without adjusting it when it came to you it was 12*. And I didnt know auto was adjustable, I thought it was the standard version that was used before the updated versions.

Thank you for pointing that out, I will def go and check mine.

Also, why not leave it on auto 18 if you are not stacking?
Differant trucks respond differantly or what?

If you are running nitrous and propane....I wouldn't run 18*. With water/meth I wouldn't run 18* anymore. But if its just diesel and the TST...18 auto is the ticket although some 325hp might not like that much. ks

So with the adjustable rail pressure and timing options can you control the smoke levels? What is the max limit for rail pressure? Or I mean what parameters should you safely be within?

Levels 8 and 9 will blow your relief valve. I doubt I will take mine past 3 (thats the highest I have tried) cause I got 27k on the pressure guage at that settin. If I was at the track I may try 4 but that would be it.

After you cap the rail, what about injectors?

Wouldnt pressures that high potentialy cause injector failure or am I just parinoid?

I tried the auto 15, it was noticeabley stronger and cooler, havent tied auto 18 BUT sittin there idleing, I put it on set 15 then set 18 and 15 sounded like an old 24v but 18 started soundin kinda unhealthy.

This dang new tst its got more options than a man could possibly try.

But that aint gonna stop me from tryin as many as possible.
