what upgrades do you need to comfortably run a Quad X2 or Smarty Jr on 100hp setting?

exhaust, air intake, manifold and gauges are taken care of.......what else?

Can you run it on the 100hp setting all the time (except when towing of course)

I have the Quad XZT 65hp box with Commander but want more so I was thinking of getting a quad X2 (standard or race) and run the 100hp setting as a daily driver and not have to worry about anything.

thanks for the help

I thought the stock injectors could only handle up to 70hp and then you need a a fuel pump and Mag-Hytec covers? I guess that's why I'm asking the question, cause I don't have a clue

I don't see in your sig if it's an auto or manual or what year. If it's an auto, you will need a TC and VB or at least a VB at very minimum.

do a search...the be prepared to be overwhelmed with info.

basically they're really expensive parts that you need to upgrade in your tranny.

here's my qualm with comp. power programmers.

the cost of the programmer is negligble. b/c

IMHO: if you want to do it right....

don't forget the $5,000 transmission to handle/transfer the power.
also, your fuel system won't be able to handle the demands, so you better get...
bigger fuel pump
larger fuel lines
bigger cp3 pump
new injectors


all that power for so little money seems like it's a good deal...but like they say...you've got to pay to play!

For an everyday normal driving you won't have a problem. If you plan on abusing the truck with your new found power you might want to considering upgrading your transmission. I drove around for more that two years with the quad standard on the 60hp settings. Numerous times I switched over to the hundred hp setting and zipped away from a stop. No harm done...
The smarty Jr on the 70 hp is much stonger imo that the 100hp setting on the quad. The thing I miss is being able to switch the power off on the fly during inclimate weather.....
