I stopped by a dealership a week a go... and out of ten trucks on the lot 9 had the water filled 1/2 to 3/4 inch above the full mark....(these trucks where cold) sure leaves no room for water to expand......

I am running a "beta tester" 125 Quad box and it hardly smokes at all. What is does do is slip between shifts. This will be my 3rd Quad box. a 160 and two 125s. The power delivery is great but the shifting is not working for me.

please tell me about ur truck and tell me how the thing performs. does it pull at lower rpms and fizzle out, or does it dog and then scream to 4500?

help will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome Jeremy, one way a "dizzle tooner" makes power is to dump LOTS of fuel in there and see what burns - more burn - more power... and what doesn't burn actually cools the charge down and goes out the exhaust...

And on the high horsepower jobs, most will smoke under the right conditions of low boost, high throttle, and limited air...

But only for a second until the boost and/or air catches up... UNLESS


check out the pics here for the SMOKE generated by a 1200+ lbft double turbod beast http://www.northtexaspowerstrokes.co.../MVC-424X.html

and the rest of them all did SOME smokin at full load too

WOW Big HOSS !!!
I thought you had read enough post of mine to KNOW I am brutaly honest !!!

That hurts - really

But I AM biased toward the truth as I know it with the information available to me....
I'm also honest to a fault and totally disloyal

I'll switch to whatever product floats my boat better !!!

I seriously investigated the SC product when I saw claims of 150HP...
enough to find out they were bogus numbers... and stopped there...

I've heard Quad's 165HP box is a monster... but I'm scared to try it...

I'm about to close on the new house and can't POSSIBLY afford a new toy
