: What programmer?

What programmer is everyone using? I have an edge juice with attitude. I have not had any problems with it but I am curious to see what else is out there. I think the Banks stuff sounds good until I look at the price. I am not looking to make monster h.p. I am not going to upgrade my tranny unless something happens to it. I really want the programmer,tuner,chip, whatever you want to call them, for mpg, not massive h.p. Any suggestions or thoughts on what you all have.

Ive got a diablo sport preditor. I didnt see any MPG gain, but i also put 285 series tires on it at the same time with no change. with stock tires i may have seen a gain. works good, can read codes.

I use the predator 2.2 but in my case it doesn't do a lot for mileage, maybe 1 or 2 mpg more. I just like it because it spools up a little faster from a stop.

I have an older predator and have not noticed any MPG gain. Only had it for a few months now.

+1 I am also running the edge with juice monitor and I never was very impressed with the gains from it. Don't get me wrong it is a big improvement over stock but I have always had my eye on the banks 6 gun w/ pda... Anyone out there with some input on the banks setup?

I also think my egt sensor took a crap today it was reading over 2000 degrees when I turned my ignition on this morning, worked fine last night tho...?

Had the Banks setup on now for about a year, good safe horsepower with no problems. Until i get a built tranny I will stick with it, they are pricey but got mine used off of e-bay for $250 used, and the guages for $150 new.

I have an edege juice/attitude and a quadzilla stealth2 with the race version and the unlock code for the edege on my lb7 they wook good together and I think if i would not have had the an edege i would not get it since the quadzilla was only $600 for 215hp at the rear vs like$1000 for 150 hp at the rear.

There is a very nice chart in one the stickies here, it's worth a look.
Having said that, I run a Quadzilla stealth 2. For some reason, it's not very popular, but I do not see any complaints here either. It works well for me.

Ya I really like my quadzilla stealth 2, i think they arn't popular since they aren't advertized a lot. hell they are only $500 for 215 hp for the lb7 and 135 for the lly

Anyone have an updated chart? The sticky looks a little outdated.

The Quad is a great unit at what its priced at. They are on sale which makes them even better.
