Edge Drag Comp vs. TST COMP
Right now i am running a TST COMP on my truck but i am thinking about switching to a Edge Drag Comp. I would like to get everyones opinions on this switch. I am not set on switching yet but just want to see what eveyone thought.

Are you running the TST Comp by itself, or do you have it stacked with another box/programmer to do timing? I've noticed that if I run my TST by itself with no additional timing, the EGTs are much higher and the bottom end is less than desirable. The Edge does both functions, but you may be able to pick up a timing box to stack with your TST, which may outdo the Edge.

Keep the TST. I have ran both. The TST fuels alot harder and pulls better top end. If you have the cash to spend find an EZ to stack with it. Yes yes i know, Smarty is the way to go...but EZ will save you 400 bucks or so. Just my opinion.

My truck runs so much nicer with my Drag Comp than the TST, I can drive around with the box on 5x5 and not even tell its on till I get on the throttle, with the TST Comp anything past level 4 caused shudder, I mean the TST rocked but I like the Comp much better for my style of driving.

Have you done a run with the drag comp by itself?

yes i have ran each one by itself and with the smarty. the TST comp made 17 more than the DRAG comp did by them selfs. with them stacked with the smarty, the TST made 37 more than the DRAG but like i said, everytruck is different becuase i have talked to many people that have dynoed higher with just the DRAG comp alone so it kinda really depends on wheather the truck likes it or not.

Have the PM3 Comp. Had the EZ stacked on it. Great power combo but the shudder is a bit annoying. Tried the Drag Comp. No shudder but not as much power as the TST stack. Now have Drag Comp stacked on PM3 Comp. Drag Comp pulls out a little of the PM3 shudder, and is adjustable to "defuel" at lowest level to keep smoke down (can use level 1-3), which is why I went to the Drag Comp in the first place. This will not concern people that don't have shower-head injectors.

I've ran the EZ, the Drag Comp, the drag comp with a catcher ecm, the TST Comp, the TST comp with a catcher ecm with timing, and finally the TST Comp/EZ. I like the TST/EZ better than anything I've ran so far but I may try Quad's racebox and see how it does on the dyno and track to compare. The TST/EZ works very well with my Sledpuller 66 and Mach 4 injectors and makes for a truck that is fun to drive and very responsive. And it's getting excellent fuel mileage to boot.

I'm running the EZ with the TST/PM3 and the smarty, i have no shudder issues at all, power is awesome, right up until the clutch lets go, so right now the most i have run is 5 on the TST, and 6 on the smarty, temps look good then the clutch goes away, and as i write this the clutch is being replaced with a SB OFE, so hopefully by the end of the day i'll be able to run 9x9!! Just my .02

I run #1 during the hottest part of the summer and then turn it all the way up the rest of the year when heat and humidity isn't such a problem. The dog days around here have humidity levels in the 90s and temps in the high 90s which causes more smoke than I care for. I like to drive clean except when I'm at the track. Turning the jumper down helps a little. Quads new XZT box maybe just what I'm looking for to stack with my TST Comp since it actually has a timing only setting. I could kill the TST on bad days and just run timing with my injectors and probably run clean.
