Edge Pulsar up indates

Yeah 50 bucks seems real high for that, I keep reading on this product thinking they are going in the right direction that I might buy on instead of getting a custom tune and then they do stuff like that.

Plus other than the tire size speedo adjustment and power level setting display relocation, the only other update was the axle ratio. How many of us go and change that? Probably not a whole bunch.

Same here, i was waiting to see how this played out but looks like I’ll be going the diablo sport route.

Yep that's pretty greedy, but unfortunately as long as people are willing to pay it they're going to keep charging it....

 

[Ramm5.7]

Yep, too greedy I'm thinking.
No way for me as im not changing tires or gears(yet) and dont need the display! Looks like I will spend the dollars for a custom tune in the future unless Edge changes the parameters of the update ability

I tried a Pulsar on my 2015 when they first came out just so that I could have a first hand comparison to the custom tuning that I am currently running. It felt comparable to the standard 89 octane tuning , but with a slightly more aggressive throttle. I run a Pedal Commander on top of the custom tuning though, so that combo of the custom tune with Pedal Commander walked circles around what the Pulsar offered in power, responsiveness, and shift on the fly adjustability.

I can definitely see the appeal for the 2018-2019 guys that dont have actual tuning options yet, but for the 2015-2017 trucks, getting an actual diablo tuner with custom tune is by far the better way to go.

And unfortunately for most of us, more than twice the price if you want the spare pcm to cover warranty swap and a custom tune....sigh...….

That is true. Twice the price, but also twice the gain...and room to grow if you add more mods in the future.

BTW, I spoke to Diablo again this morning, and 2018 Ram tuning is right around the corner. Said they are just waiting on the unlock cables to come in, so that is exciting news.

I hear ya Matt, so your saying just the seat of the pants feel with the Diablo, custom tune, and PC is roughly twice that of the Pulsar with
equivalent mods??

 

[Edgey 42]

So with the Pulsar Update Cable, there is more to that in the future with potential custom tuning. But in order to update in the field, this cable is required. You can call 888-360-3343 and send the Pulsar in for a free update vs buying the cable.

Correct. Pulsar felt very similar to the 89 Octane Diablo tune, but with a little better throttle response. 93 Octane Custom tune with the Pedal Commander makes the Pulsar feel stock.

You'll want to download the Ignition Updater. You will also need the Powerteq update cable.

Are there any directions out there on how to use the pulsar with the new update?

Great info, thanks for simplifying my decision.

Meedom-you can buy an ECM off eBay for about 150 so really not that big of a price difference between them.

Good to know, thank you sir!

Sure thing! I plan on going this route once I’m ready for a tune.

i've heard of problems with the non display version of diablo's tuner, i think it's the i3. i've always been told to go trinity or don't at all.

i'm not in a massive rush to get a pcm tune on my truck, but i will be doing it one day. the pulsar holds me over until i can muster the courage to spend that much for a pcm, a custom tune, and the trinity. if the i3 doesn't have problems, that significantly lowers my cost of entry

i'll tune one day and just give the pulsar to my dad. he'll never tune his 18 rebel, and pulsar will be perfect for what he needs.

Thank you for your honest input sir. Do you have any tips or advice for removing the PCM connectors that it seems like a lot of guys are breaking when removing??

What’s the benefit in being able to change rear gear ratio on the dash if the speed is calibrated by the tires?

 

[hehateme2812]

A good amount of people regear if they have 3.21s
