... How are you running 40% overs with an edge?
With 40% more fuel than the Edge thinks it is putting in :cool:

:spit:

But really, a 40% injector is small enough you can probably get away with it if you leave the Edge on the lower levels.

Jesse, get yourself a good EFILive tune, and your truck will be a whole different animal.

And like everyone has said, the 1/4 mile speed is a much better indicator of actual horsepower than anything. A good dyno will give you an idea. But just looking at a combination of parts? No way to get a good guess.

Thanks for input some was helpful I have a bullydog triple pup stacked with my edge the bully is on extreme and edge on three. Feels like I'm not getting full potential out of fuel system would it be worth switching to efi live? Allot of money tied up in the two but it's been a slow low money process one upgrade at a time

Holy shit take that crap off!!! get an efi live tune for your setup with DSP5 and call it a day. 5-600$ for the tune and switch.

Has the trans been built or not? Gotta do that first. Then EFILive tune.

Trans is not built that's next on the slow process of upgrades probably should before I switch to efi. I just got the pump and was thinking should have Ben little more power that's y the original question. So I will do quarter mile and look into trans and torque converter thanks

A modified pump was done way out of order here...

Injector's where bad about a year ago and I new I would be building it so I did injectors over and pump went a month ago so I tried matching with the injectors. It's daily driver and family gets money before truck gets mods but looking at a core trans to get built so I can switch over on a weekend then efi live. again thanks for input:thumb:

You really need to get a good efi live tune and a built trans. I cant believe your stock trans is still holding anything with the amount of fuel that those two boxes are throwing at it.

one of them is probly set up to defuel at a certain point. otherwise it would be limping. I have a fully built ATS trans for sale in the garage section, billet shafts.

You can get EFI before your trans is built. You can get tunes that are safe for a stock trans and there actually a little cheaper from most vendors. Once the trans is built you just pay the upcharge from stock trans tunes to built trans tunes and get a whole new set of stronger tunes. Id do this before I did anything else!

I'd switch to efi live ASAP. Running the stacked edge and bully dog you'll be rebuilding your engine before anything else.
