Is it worth an extra $100 for the hot upgrade?

I have had the juice now for about 3 months, run on level 5 full time, and level 3 with my camper on.
In these 3 months I have NEVER tried to floor it for any longer than about 2 or 3 seconds, because by then, I'm going wayyyy too fast, and, I'm afraid of hurting the tranny at a shifting point.

Does the "hot" option improve the bottem end any more than 5X5?
Thanks

I was reading that you had the edge juice, I have a 2001 3500 dodge with a 47re auto. You mentioned you run it in level 5 all day. Did you need to do anything to your transmission or do you just keep the fluids changed. I was curious because i was thinking about getting one.

IMHO, the hot code made a BIG difference in my truck. In my opinion, what is happening is that they are basically "flattening" out the HP/TQ graph. Meaning, it still has the same peak power, but it feels like the power comes on sooner and lasts longer.

I KNOW the defuel RPM has been raised, and it pulls all the way till the tach is burried in redline.

takes the 2800 rpm defuel to 3200 main difference plus give more fuel timing for extra horse. mario

I have had it for almost a year stock tranny with no problems. I also have all the other things in my sig and still shifts like new. I makes a big difference in smoke power and all around.

You can use a lot of power without abusing the tranny. But I don't every drag race, that would probably not help one too much...

So youre running the hot juice and sticks all on a stock trans? How many miles and hows it doing?

that trans will not last much longer with those mod's you may want to consider a trans upgrade before stronger chips!

The truck is about to hit 73k tommorow and I havent had any problems yet. Where I work we also do Transmissions too, so in the near future I'm going to build it up, but the main reason I havent done anything yet is because I havent had 1 problem with slippage or anything.
