truck pull edge level??

[Kennedy]

The Alliosn seems to hold up pretty well in 4lo and occasional truck pulling. Problem that you will have is that if you have decent power you'll run out of RPM in 3rd with your setup.

I had a customer run my 500RWHP tune last season with decent results, but it will catch up with you.

John and lb7lbz, I am afraid of running out of power if it shifts to 4 in level 2.
But in level 3 I am afraid I may need gear 4 to use all the power especially if the track is wet and traction is poor. Right now tonight the track will be dry and should have good traction, tomorrow we are expecting rain and may have a wet track and we run tomorrow Wed..
Thanks.

What about level 4????????????? Pours more smoke! Engine runs a little rougher, not always smooth.

Third Place 273' !!
11 more inches was 2nd, and 11 more feet was first!
Used level 3, washer fluid injection, boost stick, locked third gear max, T/H, no AC, 40psi front 70 psi rear, 180# bolted behind front bumper out of site, torsion bars lowered, 22" hitch height giving up 4", max 26",,, 7780# giving up 220#, 265 16 Cooper tires about 40-50% tread,,, 8000# class "stock" diesel..

No smoke on video, last year level 2 showed smoke, yet this year level 3 no smoke!?? Why? I think maybe the water injection made the smoke diff, no water last year, right/wrong?????????

Pulled strong this year and think level 4 might be worth a try in two weeks..???
People said was the smoothest run of the night, no bouncing, no shaking, very smooth sounding engine and trans shifts.

how is water injection stock? Niice Pull, I am not sure what some of your abreviations mean though. H

How much did your 180lbs hidden help?

With the power level that you have available you'd best stay in 3rd. You MIGHT get away with 4th due toi smallish tires, but 3rd with some extra RPM (not available with the Edge) would be what I would run. Power level will depend on what you can get away with in the "stock" class. More power will help get to speed quicker and hopefully build more momentum.

If you can get away with it clamp the rear springs with ubolts to "pre settle" the truck and stiffen up the spring pack. Then readjust your hitch height.

Yep, Maverick, not stock, but no one checks!! Some of the others were built a lot more than mine. I think the 180# helped keep the front end down and more front pull.

John, thanks for the tips,,, still think I may try level 4.

OK! pulled last night against the 8000# Pro Stock Diesel class! Way outmatched on $$$ spent and power produced. Placed 9th out of 20 paid out down to 8th, "missed by that much"!

Used level 5 Edge w/Attitude and this Edge has been turned up a little by Edge. Truck pulled good and smoked more, got hotter fast, sounded a lot louder. The sled was a lot heavier than Wed. night for stock diesel 8000# I knew real quick I had a big load!

Pumped up air assist suspension to 55psi and left front tires @ 65 psi rears 70 psi, otherwise same as Wed. night. Pulled 253' for 9th and on Wed pulled 273' for 3rd and had I used level 5 on Wed I would have won, no doubt in my mind.
Thanks for the advice it was used, except for JK to stay away from levels 4 and 5, sorry, just had to take the chance!, don't worry about the mule just hook the sled!! it's only money "just fix it"!!
