If you had your choice, which one would you run? And why?
Edge CTS Juice or Stryker w/Informant

Now that the Stryker has a display I would give it more serious consideration than I did when I chose the Edge. But I'd still choose the Edge. 
I like having multiple on-the-fly power levels, cold engine de-fueling (or defueling based on other parameters of your choice), transmission protection.
One of the Stryker's main selling points in my opinion was the super quick and easy installation / removal. Adding the display just made it almost exactly the same process as installing / removing the Edge...

Anybody else? I know there are several people running these.
I like my Edge for:
1 Gauges with multiple configurations.
2 Adjustable power settings on the fly.
I don't want anything controlling power addition
without being able to back it down myself, for towing. I decide on EGT temps
3 High EGT defueling and it's adjustable.
4 EGT probe at the manifold and it comes with it.
5 I can add a camera(s)
6 I can add a turbo timer
7 Makes good reliable power without over fueling on setting 3 and has excellent driveability.
8 Simple product with good build quality and a nice display.
9 Good value for the money.
10 They had the first reliable product on the market that met all these requirements.
Yes, I would buy it again. This unit has been flawless and my truck isn't having any issue's with it installed. It's the only modification on my truck and it works, and works well.

Thanks for great info. I've read of a few people having issues and what not with timing settings. Maybe it's just them and how they are running it. Glad to hear you have been trouble free.
I actually have both programmers/modules in hand, and not sure which to run, lol..

Put the easiest to install on and run it awhile. See how it feels. Take it off and put the other on and run it. See how it feels. Then.......report your findings back to us so we know what to get

I second all of this. I've been really happy with my Edge since day one. On a truck where tuning looked impossible and hopeless for a long time, The Edge is/was a great product to have some fun with. I did a lot of reading before I bought an the final factor for me was being able to monitor what was going on with the truck as opposed no display when the Stryker first came out.

The Informant is a private labeled CTS. As far as controlling power levels they are working on a 10 level adjustable EAS adapter for us now. Same monitor just different power modules.
:confused013: Who's an informant and who's working on this adapter ?

Dennis, can you tell us anymore about the upcoming changes? There are a lot of us that are torn between the (2) systems...

The newest upcoming upgrade will be getting the EAS adapter to control the Stryker's 10 power levels. We will also have an option for current Stryker owners to upgrade to the new adjustable option with the Informant Monitor. We have also combined the Stryker and Informant to be sold as a package deal. The micro code has all been updated and running very well.

You don't have to but it couldn't hurt at all.

This kind of died out. I bought a CTS monitor today, can it control a Stryker as mentioned in this thread? I have seen the dial, but I have not seen anyone with the CTS controlling it.
