Well we have 1 beta tester that broke 600 already but, we are not where we need to be yet on the really high horsepower stuff. The problem is that at very high horsepower levels every little thing makes a huge difference. Every single different modification affect everything else a ton.
So, in short we have some work to do in my opinion. I won't mention name or mods but here is what it did.
This was the Surge Fix file with 6 power levels.
PL5 = 606.53 RWHP 1013 RWTQ
PL6 = 610.53 RWHP 982 RWTQ
With N20 added in 739.56 RWHP 1182 RWTQ.
Now, those are great numbers with a single box but, we think we had WAY too much timing for his setup. We also think we had WAY WAY too much timing and he had to run pretty small jets with the N20.
To compare this same truck made 630 RWHP 1010RWTQ with Smarty/TST Special Competition program. The truck was around 830-850 with different N20 jets. He did not run these same jets with the Adrenaline because of the timing and we think we were over taxing the pump and causing it to run itself out of fuel. I will find that sweet spot though!
I would say we are close to being pretty darn stout but, not there yet. We obviously are either overfueling or underfueling on the most radical trucks.
Overall he says the street manners are much better than the Smarty/TST stack. It is more drivable when turned up especially.
I have sent him some reduced timing files and they seem to be much stronger and he plans on more dyno time soon! So, we will get it but, we are not there yet!
I do think we would have to be the strongest single box there is at this point though.

Tell ya what. I'm gonna be spending some quality time on Dunbar's machine next weekend. I'd love to see how it stacks up against an FMS and a VA stack. Hell I'll even take it to the track next Sunday.

First, Smarty and TST COMP = about $1550 best I can tell. Which is over double what this box costs by itself. If you start talking FMS and other stuff it would be even cheaper.
Second, is that I know Lotero ran the same times. I am not sure that the issue is that we are only as strong as the Drag Comp though. He might need a bigger charger or who knows? I kno we had guys dynoing with Stage 2 DD sticks making the same as guys with much Larger DD sticks but, they were using a stock turbo so that was to be expected.
Third, We are in BETA. Nothing is for sale yet and nothing is being advertised.
I simply said that because we were about 10hp shy of the Smarty/TST Comp stack which is said to be stronger than the Drag Comp. Leads me to believe that we would be the strongest single box so far.
And I am not sending you a box because I have a long list I am committed to at this time. Once they get theirs we can talk.
I really do not need you to try and validate anything for me at this point. I really need people that can work with me. There is a huge difference.
You can buy one and validate it or tell me I am crazy once I am done.
