The Edge Juice with Attitude would be nice also but I haven't been able to try one out! Also I have seen many threads about problems with it but I guess everyone has their own opinion . I would like to try one out before buying one and then not liking it!!

You may slip your clutch on higher settings depending on how you drive. I had the triple dog on my 03 6-speed and had no problems but I rarely had it in extreme.

I am not running it in extreme on my 06 either as I'm not looking for a race truck, just a bit more towing power and hoping it helps the fuel mileage a bit. One thing I do like about the triple dog is all the features you can fool with, at least you can on the 06 truck...none of that stuff worked on my 03.

Another vote for Diablo... No pressure... If I feel the need, I plug in my xzt for the pressure. Otherwise, I'm happy with timing and duration, and shifting is much better with the Diablo than stock...
Plus the ability to monitor engine and trans conditions in real time is pretty cool. I've got mine mounted to my dash. Nice size backlit screen is easy to see while driving...

Once again. Priced under $400 and the only downloader out that has custom tunning availble on request free of charge. I believe it can support up to 10 such tunes if memory serves me right. Try geting Bully Dog to send you a custom tune with duration only or something like that!!! They'll laugh at you over the phone.

Like I said earlier, they're putting together a custom tune for me that adds some rail pressure to the "HOT" 200hp tune available over the website. Any tune wanted other than that one has to be called in with details given as to what yo have and what you want.

On tow, I get a decent puff if I get on her from a standing start. On performance it's alot of smoke until the turbo catches up, then there is still some smoke. On extreme it's a smoke show. Way to much smoke for my liking... and way high egt's. I can see the Bully being more powerful as it has pressure also.

Good smoke as Trick says. As far as mileage, I refer you to my ongoing mileage thread here https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=116375 all the testing so far has been done with Diablo in extreme 160hp tune, and Edge in Lev.1 tow.

Hey streetsmoker, do you find the diablo to be considerably better than the bullydog in that stack? It seems that you and i seem to run the same stuff lol

The Triple Dog only add pressure on the Extreme setting, not on Tow or Performance. I dyno'ed 453 HP on Tow, 493HP on Performance and 505 HP on Extreme. The same day I also dyno'ed the Diablo, it was not even close to the Triple Dog, can't remember the numbers. Maybe I'll call DynoMite Diesel and get them.
