Edge Pulsar owners

[HDHNTER]

I have a short road trip scheduled in the AM that will require a fill-up so a more thorough opinion on performance coming soon from my end, even if it's just a SOTP assesment.

Also is this a 15hp bump or 30hp, read 2 different numbers.

Not really sure thats confusing. In their own video they say 10-15. Then on their site they say 15 and also 30. So no idea.

 

[Georgiasport]

From what I have read it's 30 hp & 30 tq at engine, buy dyno'd at the wheels is 15 & 15

Just got back from a lengthy & very fun test drive. Filled up w/ a tank of 93 & gave 6 & 8 a go... I will NOT be returning the Edge Pulsar. VERY noticeable improvement, I'd say 30 at the crank & 15 at the rear is realistic. You know the product delivers as promised when you love level 8 but decide 6 is the best for daily driving. Found myself on & off of the gas at 8 to keep from speeding, it just wants to go & pulls hard. Not sure if shift points are effected but the 8spd always felt in the right gear, no excessive shifting. LOVE the throttle response at 8, very fun.... but 6 is a bit milder & will likely yield better MPG while still being a very noticeable improvement over stock. Knowing custom tuning capability is coming is cool but honestly, the product as is, more than exceeds my expectations & needs. Well done Edge & thanks to GotExhaust for the discount & fast shipping, I am a very satisfied customer.

I have had mine for a couple weeks now. It stays in the number 8 position. I would keep it in 10 of it had one! It would be hard to live without, now that I have it. It's worth a lot not having MDS.

 

[HDHNTER]

Agreed, disabling MDS was a big factor in my decision to buy... yeah I know you can manually do so but having it perm off is convenient. The performance gain & fun factor are the icing on the cake. I would not want to be without it now that I've tried it. On the interstate 8 might be my preference but I live very rural, middle of national forest.... not the kind of roads where you open it up on a regular basis, 6 feels just right for around here. 8 is damn sure fun though & I wouldn't turn down a level 10, lol.

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

Regarding the hp gains. It is about 15hp average across the power curve and 30 hp at its peak hp gain.

Really 30hp at peak. thats really good for a none custom tuned programmer.

Yes thats what is claimed. I agree that is impressive. honestly on a naturally aspirated engine 30hp from just a canned tune is huge, even 15hp across the power band is pretty good

I am glad I happened to see a post about the Pulsar and pulled the trigger. I was waiting for the new BT Pedal Commander to become available, but after seeing the added features of the Pulsar I think I made the right choice.

 

[Cmsharp]

Do you have to run 91 octane with this to go to level 8? Does it work with 89?

 

[Mach123]

No I think that's what they are saying, 91 or better to go over #6.
My question is does it give you better throttle response on any number like the pedal commander thx

 

[Riccochet]

I'd be interested to see some dyno numbers before dropping $500 on it.

91 or better for level 5 & beyond. As for throttle response, 1 - 2 (pedal feels same), 3 - 4 (pedal is less responsive than stock), 5 - 6 (noticeable increase in pedal sensitivity), 7 - 8 (considerable increase in pedal sensitivity)

1 Stock
2 Stock w/ MDS Off
3 Fuel Econ
4 Fuel Econ w/ MDS Off
5 Moderate
6 Moderate w/ MDS Off
7 Performance
8 Performance w/ MDS Off

So to see any power gains you have to run 91, otherwise you can only turn off MDS or run an economy tune. I am not too impressed with that.

 

[HDHNTER]

Makes sense to me.

 

[69GWC]

So to see any power gains you have to run 91, otherwise you can only turn off MDS or run an economy tune. I am not too impressed with that.

Well buy the owners manual the Hemi calls for 89 octane so I can see them not adding to much power with just 89 fuel and making you go to 91 so its a safer tune fpr the motor.

I run 89 so jumping to 91 is not that much of a jump at the pump anyway.

 

[HDHNTER]

Advancing timing to see gains requires higher octane or the engine will experience knock under load. Not realistic to expect gains from the cheapest fuel at the pump. I am not familiar w/ the nuances of other tuner options but I'm betting none are tuned to produce gains w/ 87 - 89 octane.

 

[69GWC]

Does tbis remove the top speed revlimiter ?

 

[guru1ofatl]

I could see where this could improve power through timing and mixture adjustments however, I don't see it reducing torque limitation like a regular programmer. Doesn't sound like a bad compromise though.
