Does anyone here run the pacific performance chip that is supposed to make 300 horse at the fly wheel for the lb7 trucks. If so how is the power. Is it a good chip to stack with like a duramaimizer or a edge. Has anybody dynoed pacifics chip. Is there a lot of smoke. What kind of rpms can you get out of it.
Just wanted to know if it was werth the money

I run the hot juice with attitude and when set on level 5 and the xcellerator on high setting I billow bloke smoke. Plenty of power. No dyno numbers. I have liked it but others like other products.

Ive Ran The Hot Xcelerator Stacked With Juice Quite A Bit And Didnt Have Any Problems With It. Thier Numbers Are Based On Fwhp And Not Rwhp. Its Basically The Same Tuner As The Bullydog Powerpup. Lots Of People Say They Have Had Bad Dealings With Ppe But All I Have Had Have Been First Class. One Thing You Can Damn Sure Say About Ppe Is That They Arent Here On These Boards Bashing Other Vendors Like Some Bash Them. Go Figure ;)

I have been running the reg. Xecelerator for almost a year. Have had no problems with the unit. Anytime I have called PPE with a question they have been more than willing to help. I have put about 17k with the tuner set to race extreme 98% of the time. On level four you will get smoke, as boost comes on you will only see a faint haze at 28 psi. I actually get over 23 mpg with the tuner. As far as dyno numbers, it made 395/738 while starving for fuel. Had a fuel line going bad, but that is with the standard tuner. I will have it re-dynoed in a couple months, but will guess it will go 420's and upper 700's for torque. I will be installing a SBC this week to help hook it up to the ground.:lol:

I know most on this site don't care for the Xcellerator, but so far I have had good results from it. I did have a problem with it messing up when I was changing programs, but I sent it back in and they are fixing it, and also installing the hot program. On April 16th a local shop in my town is having a dyno day, so I plan on testing the hot Xcellerator program to see if it lives up to what they say it will do (and additional 240hp at the wheels), and then I will see how well it stacks with my tst.

They have a great LLY stack and i doubt that it will be possable to beat it. They are ahead of the game. I have been using PPE products on my LLY products for a while. And i have seen my hp numbers higher then the "posted highs for lly" PPE is Top notch!:ro)

I suggest you talk to several members here who have had their credit cards hung out to dry by PPE. a few guys come to mind here. One of them is local to me and all read/post here. he had an xcelerator and dmaximizer for his LB7. was promised 100% satisfaction or money back. needless to say we hit the dyno (that is where i met him) and it didn't run as promised. i made 1 pass with my old extreme tune and he wasn't happy. needless to say he called them the next day asking for a refund and they said sorry! he had it updated a couple times but it never would do what they said. had they stood behind their product like i've seen other mfg's do then i would have a higher opinion of them.

I've met Joe (i think that's his name) and he has always been a nice fellow. he even gave me a coat hanger once :) but this isn't about being nice, its about being professional and standing behind your products.

as for disliking them due to the power they are making, i'll run my TTS extreme agaist that any day. i've even got my stock ecm so we can keep it fair- same truck. if it beats the extreme i'll buy it.

Come on peanut. Get real. if the people i'm referencing want to speak up that's their choice. I haven't lied. actually all of this has been posted by them already. all one needs to do is search. I said i think Joe is a nice guy. BUT, if i knew someone was interested in a product i would share my experiences with them so they could make an informed decision. If you were the perspective customer wouldn't you like to know AHEAD of time instead of after the fact? i know you like your PPE and that's great! i'm happy you are satisfied.

If someone asked me about edge i would recommend it! as far as plug and play i think its one of the best if not the best. nice features, good price, etc. I know people who have had problems with edge boxes and edge has even refunded money for people when the product didn't work as advertised. that's good customer service IMHO.

I run the TTS because on my truck, it makes the most power of anything i've tried. i also prefer the lower tunes over the edge for drivability. But i guess i'm picky.

I don't own any PPE or edge products. i post what i do because i want people to be able to make their own informed decisions. maybe the next person will get something in writing just in case it doesn't perform as advertised. if it does- GREAT! but if it doesn't that's extra protection for the consumer.

As i said, they've never done anything bad to me but aren't we all here to help eachother out and share information, be it good or bad?

are you talking about a race at the track? my truck against yours? or dyno both on my truck? i've got access to a mustang load cell 5 minutes from my house. not to mention sac raceway 1/4 mi. at sea level.

if you're serious and not full of it, we might be able to arrange something. sounds like a fun time!

I guess since you said you had access to a "mustang cell" the dragster was included in there. You swear that TTS is the fastest thing for a duramax but at least my programming came from a very nice professional shop and not from a back yard garage. I know I won't have to knock on a house door to see if any one is home for warranty work. But hell since the owner of TTS is living at home with mommy and daddy and has such a low overhead, I'm sure he should be able to afford small bets like that just in case you need a little extra money in running the dragster.

Just to clarify you dolt, Mustang load cell is a dyno. He was offering to either run you on the dyno or on the track.

With your ECM lockout problems, are you sure exactly what your "professional shop" (stereo) installed???

I've been to both shops, and for engine or tranny work would much prefer TTS, who also has just a few years experience on your guy. I suggest that before you open your mouth to parrot what you have hear, you validate the truth of their statements.

DSLBeast,

Last time I was at TTS, it was in a rather large industrial building, surrounded by many other large industrial buildings in Compton. Right off the 91 Freeway at Central (near Dominguez Hills). Certainly not a garage shop operation. And the warranty service was way better than I could have hoped for. Steve Cole (owner of TTS) went way beyond what was required to try and resolve an issue my truck had. So, I am not sure where you are coming from with the above comments.

Regards,
Alan

In all fairness Diesel Beast were a great bunch of guys. As I'm sure you have noticed, there is not a lack of humor in most of us. And all of us started at some point with no knowledge of diesels at all. I hope we havent scared you off from the track, we like to see everyone we can get to the track to come out and support the trucks and industry.

I guess since you said you had access to a "mustang cell" the dragster was included in there. You swear that TTS is the fastest thing for a duramax but at least my programming came from a very nice professional shop and not from a back yard garage. I know I won't have to knock on a house door to see if any one is home for warranty work. But hell since the owner of TTS is living at home with mommy and daddy and has such a low overhead, I'm sure he should be able to afford small bets like that just in case you need a little extra money in running the dragster.
:stirthepo :joke:
Does the owner of TTS still live with his Mom?

Just to clarify you dolt, Mustang load cell is a dyno. He was offering to either run you on the dyno or on the track.

With your ECM lockout problems, are you sure exactly what your "professional shop" (stereo) installed???

I've been to both shops, and for engine or tranny work would much prefer TTS, who also has just a few years experience on your guy. I suggest that before you open your mouth to parrot what you have hear, you validate the truth of their statements.Look here you ding :smashfrea if you knew how to read, comprehend what you have read and perhaps spell i.e (heard instead of hear), I said the programmer wasn't in (stock ecm) due to the pcm not wanting to communicate with a tech 2, however, I just got it fixed today and it's working just fine now:driver:

PPE seems to be making some good power with the LLY and LB7. So is the Quad and the BullyDog and the VanAken.

The trouble starts when somebody wants to present the LB7 tune as the end all be all tune because told them it was. Yet they have absolutely no comparison data to support this claim. Yet most Xtreme owners have left a PPE, Quad, Bullydog tune to upgrade to the Xtreme. So they have done the comparison and know the difference between fact and hype. :driver:

Clarification. For the LLY, the Quad is down 30rwhp. The VA is down 50rwhp. The Bullydog? If I can get one to work right, I'll find out. SOTP indicates ~ Predator power.

There are two "secret" LLY tunes that show good promise. The TTS and the Hot Juice. Neither are available to racers, as they are experimental.

PS - Fear the LLY. They are only 1 year old, but they are teething with a vengence. Give them a few more months, and stock for stock, you're going to find your LB7's to be lacking.

You can call a 150 rwhp tune a 300, or you can call a 90rwhp tune a 65. Doesn't change the ET's.

Automotive products are normally rated at the crank. Diesels are different. Many are rated at the tires. They are the only modifications that commonly exceed advertised HP.

As of today, the quickest Dmax in our area is an LLY that we know of. To make matters worse, it is running a PPE tune. Surely you LB7 owners will regain the crown tomorrow. You have the parts and tuning, should be a cake walk.

We will see!
:rolleyes: You need to remember that the programmers didn't have a base line of 0 to start with on the LLY as they did with the LB7. Also, No one got on board with the Duramax because of the GM disasters up until the Duramax. So you are a little off when thinking that the LLY is so far behind the LB7. I am sure there isn't a whole lot different between the two engines. It`s not like comparing a Duramax to a Cummins when it comes to programming. Like it was between the 6.5 and the Duramax.

I seam to have read that the LB7 programming hasn't hit a wall yet, so you can expect the LB7 to be well over 500 rwhp before it`s all said an done. (This is with one power addon and all stock parts, without drugs.

I would also like to correct you on your statement about how long the LLY has been out. It is not one year as you seem to want us to believe. It is 1 1/2 years, and programmers jumped on board before the engines were on the street, unlike the LB7. Do you remember that the LLY is a mid year 2004, and now the 2005 model year is complete. And another thing to remember, in 2001, and 2002 GM didn't build as many Duramax equipped trucks as they do now. So number wise, the two aren't that far off. (The LLY was on the streets in Dec. 2003 as a mid year 2004.) I would thing that by next year this time, there will be more LLY`s on the street then there are LB7`s.

Maybe the LLY will catch or pass the LB7, only time will tell, not your wishing for it to happen :exactly:

As far as living with parents and working out of a garage, it seems to me that another Steve (Jobs) was very successful doing that (Apple Computer). I'm sure there are others that fit these start-up qualifications.

OC DMAX
Last time I was at TTS, it was in a rather large industrial building, surrounded by many other large industrial buildings in Compton. Right off the 91 Freeway at Central (near Dominguez Hills). Certainly not a garage shop operation. And the warranty service was way better than I could have hoped for. Steve Cole (owner of TTS) went way beyond what was required to try and resolve an issue my truck had.
I have been to both shops and checked out TTS and let me tell you. I have never seen so much crap inside a "professional shop". The "office" has got paperwork all over the place and such filth. I mean the place is a rat packs heaven -:t and there is barely enough room to get by and move around. Now at least with PPE he is running a full blown operation, in two different sides of "his" building.):h I believe TTS is a 3-4 man operation where PPE is at least 15 man operation. Hmmm someone at PPE is doing something right. I must also say that how can you test a vehicle with a retro style dyno from the 50's dam near that only can handle per say 450-500 hp? At least at PPE, Joe's dyno can test up to 1500hp. I mean everything is so well organized and you don't have to dive through crap to find something. If you guys can't honestly tell the two apart maybe its time for lasik eye surgery. I guess the numbers won't lie today.:ro)

DSLBeast - you're correct in stating that TTS could use a little "spring cleaning". And actually, the last time I stopped by, about a month ago, the place looked a lot more organized than on previous occasions. A number of years ago I went into the "store front" location of PPE where the stereo business is located. It was well organized. In my honest opinion, the two businesses are very different. One (PPE) is essentially a retail shop, pulling people in off a very busy street (and they may have a back shop, sounds like you have been into it). The other business (TTS) is tucked into strictly a large industrial park and is not a retail business. TTS is mainly a product/software development house. A lot of their business is not done with "Joe Public", but rather business to business. If you had talked with Steve about his business, you would find out that he employs a number of engineers at different locations. Each of these businesses are capable of altering the ECM fueling tables to give our trucks added performance. I hope your happy with your set-up, as I am with mine.

PS - Last time I was in the back shop of TTS, there was a rather large "engine dyno" waiting to be installed. Looks interesting.

I am doing a rework on an Allison that was modifyed at PPE. The Transgo shift kit had half the parts left out, holes were missing, and some were not drilled. The Allison failed. Return springs for C2 clutch were not installed at all. Tell me more about PPE, in fact you can tell me to my face today at the drag strip. By the way; my office is a mess because I spend my time out in the shop making sure everything works properly, not counting my coins.Guess all your fancy tools didn't help you with this customers Allison.

TTS better bring some moneyMake sure you can fit your 2nd place trophy in your truck...........:cool:

P.S............don't forget your credit card............I heard the TTS guys get hungry after they beat down the competition............):h

As far as TTS......:rolleyes: .......when a company is only interested in performance of an engine or transmission and they do more than install speakers and woofers and they are an R&D shop instead of a retail shop they can have papers and a mess if they choose...........:exactly: ............the product speaks for itself..........so if there is a little mess the end result is as close to perfection as it can be.........;)

I was at TTS last week.......:eek:.......they are NOT in the business of selling fart can mufflers, big ricer wings, and substandard tunes or parts. If they were like other companies they would be flooding the market with crap and then sending out call tags to fix defective products..............

So my friend,

Just make sure you like the view from the back of the pack............because TTS will be looking towards the back for you to play catch up.............as far as PPE being a player...........I am sure they are............are they the leader in tuning ????............doubt it...........

Hopefully you realize that today after you get done at the track. I know that eating crow doesn't taste good............hope you like the taste............:muahaha:

This is getting good. Cant wait to see the results. May the best man/truck win. There is no doubt that the TTS tunes are tried and true. PPE seems to be making a run at the HOTTEST tune available and I salute them for that as I believe they do offer an excellent product. As far as them having a stereo shop/retail store i couldnt give a sh!t. What matters is the product they put out. The comments about TTS not having the cleanest shop also holds no water. Again, who gives a sh!t what the place looks like, they have a good product and thats all that matters. This race also will not prove much as far as what the best tune is as apples to apples will not be compared. What will tell the truth is an independant testing them both on the same truck, same day. Until that time comes.............

I e-mailed one of our bigger power tuner shops the other day and this was the very diapointing reply I got. "You will never see the big power tunes on your LLY like on your LB7, mainley because of smaller injectors and a different turbo.....Really ? So glad I have an LLY on the way ! Maybe my buddie with my old LB7 will trade me for the new one ?


The injector holes are the same size and number between the two. The tip itself is smaller to accommodate the changes necessary to make "quick change" injectors possible.

I have the latest version of the PPE hot, I also have ordered my TTS Extreme. When I get the TTS I will run them both on the same truck on the same day and post the time slips. I think the new PPE is a very strong box but I cannot comment on it being better or worse than the TTS until I have run them both. I'll see if Tony can be at the track the same day and give his opinion.Jim.

I figured I would make TWO passes with the Xtreme, TWO with the PPE stand alone and Two with it Stacked PPE/JUICE.......

It should be interesting.

Weather report:

Thursday
Partly sunny. Highs in the upper 60s.


Looks like a good day at the track.
I have put my H2's with the 33-12.50's back on so I may be slower than when I ran the 265's last time at the track.

It may or may not make any difference. I am not going to bother taking anything off except the spare,gate and bed mat.

I have been to both shops and checked out TTS and let me tell you. I have never seen so much crap inside a "professional shop". The "office" has got paperwork all over the place and such filth. I mean the place is a rat packs heaven -:t and there is barely enough room to get by and move around. Now at least with PPE he is running a full blown operation, in two different sides of "his" building.):h I believe TTS is a 3-4 man operation where PPE is at least 15 man operation. Hmmm someone at PPE is doing something right. I must also say that how can you test a vehicle with a retro style dyno from the 50's dam near that only can handle per say 450-500 hp? At least at PPE, Joe's dyno can test up to 1500hp. I mean everything is so well organized and you don't have to dive through crap to find something. If you guys can't honestly tell the two apart maybe its time for lasik eye surgery. I guess the numbers won't lie today.:ro)
DSLBeast,

First it's, he lives with his Mommy.
Then it's his shop/office is a mess. What next?

Your really searching for something here. I'm just not sure what. I can't wait to see what further stupidity spills from your mouth. Although honestly I wouldn't expcect anything different from someone with a 12" lift.

Perhaps if you spent as much time trying out different tunes/products as much as you do talking smack.....or repeating things you are told........you could actually have enough information to make an informed decision.

My advise......by the new Quad it's cheaper and will run the same.

Leave for half a day and look what I miss! Guy, I had fun singing along! Laughed my ass off. In fact, I couldn't stop laughing at some of the posts.

At this point DSL is just stirring the pot. PPE may very well have a new LB7 tune that will compete with the Extreme. It'll be interesting to see. I still know where my money is though.

His shots at Steve and TTS are completely childish though. I don't know if Steve lives with his parents or not. Never asked because I never cared. Still don't. It's interesting though how we went from racing two Duramaxes with PPE and TTS tunes, to racing dynos, to comparing TTS and PPE shops. Nothing like keeping a topic on topic ;)

Two new bests for Big Blue:

Then 13.38@103.39 on a 1.87 60' with a .070" jet of NAWSSS and manually turning it on and off to allow the trans to shift.

I'm pretty sure I can do a 12 if I get the trans to shift while spraying.

Dslbeast was a no show (surprise, surprise), at least for the racing portion of the day. He may have spectated but there was no sign of a 12" lift on the track. I won't say anything about an alligator mouth etc. PPE did bring a trailer queen which ran low 12's, not sure of exact times. There were several PPE customer trucks ablaze with PPE emblems. One (dieselcr337?) was competitive. Dmax Doug was certainly the fastest Dmax. Of course all who showed up were quicker than DSLbeast simply by the fact of being there.

timdog caught me sleeping in the fast 4. In fact I was sleeping all day long - I couldn't cut a light to save my life. Anyway, once I saw that timdog had gone ahead and started his run http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif, I took off and ran him down. My 12.17 to his 12.28 wasn't enough to overcome my afternoon siesta reaction time, and he beat me by .008 seconds. I'm sure someone mathmatically gifted will chime in and say "That's only like 7 inches". Coulda woulda shoulda, timdog beat me on a run where his truck was laying down anyway. Good win Tim.

By the way, my old good luck tires didn't let Tim down this weekend. Of course if I were running them I'd have won, but then I couldn't cause Tim was busy winning with them. As that a circular reference? I think I need a drink.

It was good seeing another big crowd - Pat what was the headcount? Over twenty for sure.

I didn't see the Beast myself, but he was rumored to have made a run or two early. But isn't that the nature of a true beast anyway, big, lurking, rumored to have been seen by some, glimpsed by others, but no one knows for sure, and then he's gone. So let's go easy on him; keeping up that beast mistique must be difficult. :)

Your guess is as good as mine, i remember he ran a 12.1x on one, PPE and a litte nitrous, i know its wasnt much at all. I remember we drove to Irwindale we put out enough smoke that we slowed down the freeway!! I got some air on the little hills when i was heading to the 215 doing 125. Lets see i smoked out this white Lexus with his windows open for a good while! cuz he was riding my ass!! then I him pass me and he Flipped me off.):h ( oh yeah it hurts), when he got a chance he turned into that Y on the 138 he went left we went right, he threw a Water bottle at me out of his sun roof??:wtf: Maybe next time he wont ride a Dmaxes ass!! Same goes for some motorcycle. riding the PPE White lifted truck that was there(not sure if he ran). so he smoked him out):h , then he passed him(while flipping him off) got behind Dan,(lifted Brown PPE GMC), DID the same damn thing! so Dan smoked him. Flips him off and then he gets behind me! and does it to me too,(dont like getting tailgated this was a few miles after the Lexus). he was just asking for it. he was even riding my passenger side, and i have a rear facing exhaust! you think he would learn!:duh: Nope. So i smoked him too. I got flipped off twice and got a open water bottle thrown at me. Does that make me a jerk? they were asking for it. Maybe i shouldn't lower my self to other peoples level.

Thanks Doug, that was a great race. I had you by about 1 1/2 trucks. I looked over at you about half track and you were huntting my ass down pretty fast. Then about 3/4 track we were bumper to bumper going through the lights. That was a Damn good race. If I didn't put that bigger jet in I might have got in to the 11's, I don't. What I do know is that I put to much NOS at It and it felt off just alittle. It was alot of fun today. Maybe next time.timdog caught me sleeping in the fast 4.

As far as me talking to you Mike L. well, I felt like after reading your post I didn't really want to hear any slander cause that sounds very thin. I don't know anybody that would go spend 4-5 thousand and not go see the guy who did all the work. Anyhow it's all good, you ran strong and the guys that run your product are very happy and its great.
You responded with "The PPE truck is at least 800 lb lighter maybe more. Too bad we were not at Famoso in Bakersfield. Doug would have run 11.70s. DSLBeast is 2WD with 12 inch lift. Silly looking truck.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/hihi.gif We are not done with Dougs truck yet."
I'm sorry but excuses are like assholes everybody's got one. If you are into racing horsepower to weight ratio is the answer. Joe choose that truck with the intention of doing one thing, and as you know he made his statement very clear about his product. :bow: As far as your 11.70s I believe Joe would still be quicker since his truck is "lighter". As for me, my truck is not a 2wd truck it is a 4wd white truck nice try though and thanks for the props. And as far as silly, well it still looked a hell of a lot better than your little truck and Dan's so called "silly truck" was kickin some serious silly ass!!!!!!:ro) Don't be a sore loser and show some sportsmanship.:Handshake My truck looks by far a lot better than whatever you have for a truck so don't go there.:Nonono: The PPE truck ran pretty dam good and so did the TTS trucks so I give you props on your product and good racing.

OK, so the question at hand is still, WHY DIDN'T YOU RACE dslbeast?:eek:

After all of that smack talk, you where there, why didn't you run? Where you scared of loosing?

And don't flame me, because every one wants to know.

So what is the answer?:Pshyco:

There is and will always be products that perfrom better and produce more HP then the next guy. It all comes down to pricing. As long as pricing is inline with the pecking order then it is no big deal.

With all your smack talk and your failure to show up to back it up, you ought to be ashamed to even post in this thread again. Yes, PPE trucks made a good showing, however yours was not one of them. So quit hiding behind "Dan" or "Joe" or anyone else. There were several 4WD CC's there waiting for you to at least identify yourself.

So all the talk (And ranting) about how the PPE was going to clean house without any added help! Then nothing was done without propane and or nitrous. We know no more now then we did before all this started.

One says only a little nitrous was used, yea right! You can't get good advertising if you need other forms of air/fuel to make power.

$10,000 wager was a joke, he had to hide fearing he may be called out, then complains because no one did call him out. What a joke.

getting into a fight at a track is stupid, not worth getting arrested because of argument on the computer. meet up after the race down the street & settle it like men.

to fight over who has the better truck, tune & stuff is just plain dumb. its the other trash talking that would bring on a fight.

Kat is right about doing it infront of kids & people. i did my fair share of trash talking in this thread & other threads with this guy. actually, it shouldnt be going on, were on the same team.

Regardless of the Interwebberthingy smack-talk, everyone was polite, helpful, and having a good time. We all helped each other get the best out of our trucks, lending tools and advice to each other to get the most out of our trucks.

While we might disagree about modifications, we pull together like a team in the name of our sport. It was the best turnout so far, and lots of the spectators were very interested in our efforts.

I did not run my truck yesterday because I developed a slight wobble in the steering on the way to the track. I was undecided what to do as I filled out the entrance form and paid the full 20 bucks just in case. I decided not to run incase I have a wheel bearing going bad. Truck only does this on certain types of surface. I will be more than ready in July.

This is kind of neat... http://www.stealth316.com/2-calc-hp-et-mph.htm bunch of ET/HP/MPH calcs.

Figuring Doug's weight as 7500 lbs (doesnt he have a crewcab?), he was pushing 835HP....Whew!

The "PPE truck" if it was 800 lbs lighter (was it a reg cab or ext cab?) was at 730HP. Nothing to sneeze at, but still 105 less than Doug.

Now, if the PPE truck had the same HP as Doug, he would have gone approx 11.66 @ 117 mph. If he was running a crewcab (same weight), he would've run a 12.66 @ 107. Still very respectable....
