performance chip any & all

I am looking to upgrade my chip I have been running an old version of the BD plug N power Van AAken chip. Well I am wanting alot more power gain but I am not going to be dragraceing or sledpulling. But I want a high hp "RELIABLE" good performing chip, that has the read out's for pyro/boost etc.

I looked at purchasing the quadzilla addrenline but I am reading way to many problems about these chips. with everyone having shuttering problems and even a few melting down and several people loosing their VP's in the process.

I have also looked at the edge J/A and have not heard near as many problems with these chips.

I am wanting to know what "YOU" would purchase. I am going to have to drive my truck everyday and I pull trailors ranging from 1000lbs to 13000lbs and I just want to make sure my truck is going to be reliable and not leave me stranded. Later on I may add 100hp injectors and a larger single turbo but that is about 450-500hp max on power is all I will ever go.

thanks for your opinions and info

I seriously think you need to upgrade your fuel system first!!
Look at the AirDog or Fass. They are both great systems.
Then go with the Edge Juice w/ Attitude. Or wait until all the bugs are worked out of the Adrenaline.

I have had the juice w/att and the ADR. My first ADR melted down but I got it back and no problems since. You might look into just a smarty and some pillar gauges too.

diddo on what he said....

IMO---if you don't want to spend the $$ for a smarty, the EZ/TST is a good stack too...

x3 on that statement or get the quad xzt+....customer support is great, tons of other performance downloads that are easy to get online and on the fly adjustment switch. So far so good on the power for towing but I think my vp is getting ready to checkout.

Hey thanks for everybodys input if the customer support is good with quadzilla I will go with the adr. I just went through a divorce so money is tight & so I don't really have the 300+ for the guage's & then a chip. I already have a FP guage so if I can get the adr with the boost & pyro + the mild power gains I think it will be perfect. I am just worried about the bugs. But I am hopeing that if the customer service is as good as you say then I should not have any problems.
Thanks for your input. Keep the info coming

TST/Smarty is a good combo to run. A friend of mine ran the TST on his truck and he loved it until he wreck the truck. Even the smarty by itself is suppose to be pretty impressive.

I have the XZT+ on my truck and I have one of the aggressive tunes loaded on it. For a small box it sure does have some power. It's a very user friendly box when it comes to upgrading, Plug in and download. I might try stacking a TST or the ADR on top of it once I upgrade my trans.
