What do you guys think about the Quadzilla? Was looking into over the Juice, or maybe get the Zilla now and Juice later.

thnx

Stack the two and hold on! Don't forget your tranny though.

I'd Juice her first. Can't help you with 1/4 mile times though. Someone will chime in with that info.

WIth an ATS trans, co pilot, converter, and a HJAT level 5 + Duramaxamizer
I ran 13.63 @ 98mph in a Crew Cab Long Bed with a shell. Without the trans you will be in the 14's due to all the defueling between shifts.

Get the Juice first, it is more flexible.

14.25 Hot Juice, air intake, 4" exhaust, stock tranny. Have Hot Juice for sale in the classifieds.

No question.
With a stock tranny you need the built in tranny protection provided by the Juice /Attitude. Of course you don't get the speed limiter removed with Juice, if that is important, but you can shift on the fly with Attitude. The stock tranny won't take much over 90 hp, though, for the record I ran a 125 hp juice version for a year with no tranny problems. ( Apparently I was lucky)

No Converter or if so whose brand.

Is it the same VA file Kennedy has or is yours tweaked.........by someone else.

Does it bounce off the speed and rev limiter as well ????

How did you defeat the mph.........limit ???? what tuner was used.......

Sorry for the questions...........just want all of the important details.....

Seems like it's quite a tune if it ran that fast.

I ran the Quad 135 stealth tuner. Good power from midrange on up. Low end was kind of lacking. Juice was better on the bottom. The Quad 135 made good power on the dyno though. I made a 142 RWHP inprovement over a stock run. The advertised numbers are accurate.

FWIW, the Quadzilla Stealth tuner has been very successful at the track, and is part of MANY successful drag reacer's and truck puller's arsenal...

quadzilla isn't a LLY chip i assume?

quadzilla isn't a LLY chip i assume?No it is a flash tuner similiar to the Bully Dog and the Predator, it re-flashes the ECM but retains a copy of the stock program until you restore the stock tune.

While it is used to load a tune it will VIN LOCK to the truck.

The Predators for the LB7 vin lock permanently while the LLY do not.

The Quad and BullyDog tuner do not vin lock permanently.

Edge all the way!!! I don't recommend using both programmer + juice and attitude.
This may cause problems since edge has fine tuned your truck for maximum peformance without damaging your engine or tranny. I usually l leave my attitude in
stage 3 and I sometimes pop it into 5 to melt the tires for my freinds. They say 5
is ok to run and will not damage anything, but I would not run it lke this all the time.
I could see it possible puttig some strain on the tranny after large amounts thrashing.
It is crazy what it can do>

I too had this same ? about 4000 miles ago. I went with the Quad 135 and it has been all smiles since then. I am planning on later going ahead and getting the Edge too, but I am worried about installing it and then having to go to the dealer and then removing it etc....... You will be very pleased with the Quad.
