Question Quadzilla power module

Quadzilla and Quadzilla Hot: both advertise big numbers but also for a big price. How are these different from Predator, Edge, Banks or Bullydog?

its a box the plugs in under the hood. and a little 3 pos switch that runs in to the cab. down is stock, middle is 70hp, and top is WHHHOOOAAA.....

thats how mine is. they over rate the 70 mode, but the 125 is all there!!!

i got mine for 180 bucks on ebay. new in the box.

dont pay the big bucks for that stuff.

Thanks BigHoss, This aftermarket shop in town is asking 699 for them! The Quadzilla Hot is even more, it sounds like this is similar to the Speedloader from Banks. Even more power 150 HP 1,000,000 TQ total. Adjustable in the cab that sounds nice. Why don't more owners use them?

The reason you don't see them is the combination of price and shifting...

The shifting is still an issue with the fuel boxes, just as raw power deliver is still an issue with the tuners.

There is presently only one "fuel box" that will have the same hard, solid, predictable shift feel as a tuner, made by a company that is apparently a crime to mention on here. Some of the others have tuned the defueling method sufficiently enough to satisfy most people, however it is not very refined.

As for these boxes that deliver upwards of 130 HP, I will warn anyone who reads this- one of two things will happen. Either the box will not make the power it is rated for, or the transmission will pay for it. I am just as much an advocate of performance as anyone else here, but these 150 and 165 horse boxes WILL (hence the bold letters here) destroy the transmission in due course of time, usually not too long. My 115/290 Edge box was partly to blame for the demise of my first transmission....

The normal 75/120 Quad box is pretty much harmless to the transmission though Like Big said, take a look on ebay if you want one, they are on there all the time for less than 200 bucks. It's a good all-around unit and you won't have to cough up the 700 bucks for it. It is one of the few units that makes good power without dumping alot of smoke.
