How does the Edge/Attitude, Banks Six Gun/Speed Loader, and Predator bring the hp?

I know timing and fuel pressure, but do any put the pressure or timing beyond safe limits?

I don't beleive they increase fuel rail pressure but the duty cycle is increased on the fuel injectors giving you more fuel and the timing is also adjusted. It is possible to stack tuners and have timing issues. Also they may have some control over the turbo's waste gate (LB7) and vanes (LLY).

Do chips lead to injector failure?

No proof yet. Probably not.

Got Juice?

Juice does not control the Gate on the LB7

Wastegate is mechanical.... you see more boost because you are dumping in more fuel, making more heat and exhaust flow.

One of those things I wasn't clear about yet. Thanks for the info.

Then There Was Something Called "Juicegrips(TM)".................:lol:

Absolute wastegate control.... ):h
Surge Protection Goes out the window....:eek:

You wouldn't know anything about that would you Juice.


The next time my super. puts me on that gutless POS of a D10 I had to run today I think I might clamp on a set of Juicegrips to see if I can't get some dirt moving then. :grd:

If chips dont cause injector failure why are they so eager to void our warranties over them?

The damage they do to the motor and drive train.

That could but then you could fight it and hope to win.Thing is out of sight out of mind,even for a oil change or tire rotation.

No I'm not condoning warranty abuse.


Power is made mostly through Injector pulse,and length of time of the injector spray.
