Quadzilla tow box or Edge EZ?
I am wanting to add a box to my truck but I was wondering which was the better box. The quadzilla is less expenisive obviously, but will I be sacrificing quality? What are yall's experiences with either one.

You will be happy with either one. The EZ on level three makes about as much power as the Quad box. One difference is that the Quad power comes on sooner. The other is that the EZ is adjustable up to 80hp/240tq if you want to go faster. My truck towed fine with the EZ and does just fine now with my Quad box set on 60hp. For the money I'd go with the Quad box. It's a great deal!
Now, if you think there's any chance that you will want to go faster in the future, why not just get one of the other Quad boxes? As many of us have found out, once you get more power you just want more and more. Then we're stuck losing money trying to sell our original box at a great loss so we can get something better. A quad race box can be set on 60hp and left alone until you are ready to upgrade other things to make more power. I really liked my EZ but I love this quadzilla box!

Thanks I appreciate the input, and you made some really good points about either box. I guess the rest is up to me. What kind of mileage increase did you see, if any with your quad box?

Is the Quad box superior to the VA 3.1 ? I have had the edge EZ and now have a Van Aaken 3.1 . It also comes on sooner than the edge did but is a little flat up to about 15-1600 rpm then comes on strong after that . What are the torque numbers on the Quad box?

My truck lost 2 mpg with the EZ set on level 3 or higher. With the Quad box on the 60hp level my mileage only dropped about .5 mpg. If I turn it up to one of the higher settings, it's just too much fun and my mileage drops to as low as 13!!
Some trucks gain and some lose. I got one of the ones that loses. Just don't rely on the overhead to be accurate after installing a fueling box. My overhead tells me I'm getting 25 mpg on the 140hp setting but then I only get 380 miles to a tankful of fuel!! Mileage is a crapshoot.........
