: LLY with Edge = No Power

What do I do? I installed my Edge in my LLY last night, does not seem to have near the guts my LB7 did. Stock to Stock my 04 LB7 would leave my 05 LLY sitting still. I was hoping that my LLY would "wake up" with the Edge but it dosen't seem to have it. What could be wrong?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif

The only thing I can tell you is from the acceleration reports I've read, the LLY is slightly slower than the LB7. Apparantly, it takes longer on the LLY to build boost off the line. This is comparing these two motors stock.

Can you tell that the Edge is even working?





I know that sounds like an odd question, but with 05 being so new and the ZF 6 being so scarce, plus less TQ than the Alli version, there could just be a programming issue...

Set it on level 3, max low speed fueling, then nail it from a stoplight. If you see a HUGE black cloud as you leave the intersection, it's working. No smoke = no worky.

Make sure it is warmed up to 190 degrees or you won't see full power.

I let it warm up, now it smokes some on 3, a little bit more on 4, and a little bit more than 4 on 5. But just does seem to have it all there, I mean you can feel that it working just not at quick or responive as I am familar with. I really don't know what to do?

It definately isn't as powerful as the LB7 with the edge. I don't know that there is much you can really do. http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

Truth is, without towing uphill, dyno'g, or dragging, you can't tell HOW much improvement a modification makes.


Butt-o-meters are poor tuning tools. Some things feel quicker that aren't and other things that seem not to make a difference do.

I guess you could go run it from point a to point b and see what mph it runs without / with Edge. That would tell you if is working . Go roughly a 1/4 mi distance if you can and it should be at "least" 5 mph better ! Most chips i put in for people get anywhere from 5- 10 mph more.

Try using the 0-60 and 1/4 mile timers that are in the Attitude on each level to see the improvement.
