First To Market: Edge’s EZ Module Adds 110hp To ’25+ Cummins-powered Rams
The first tuner for ’25-newer Rams, a game-changing valvebody for the 10-speed Allison, and BIG changes in the truck and tractor pulling world.
Ready to give that ZF 8-speed its first real test? Edge Products’ new EZ module adds up to 110 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque to ’25-newer Cummins-powered Rams. The first tuner available for these late-model powerhouses is 100-percent plug-and-play and installs in 10 minutes or less (no ECU flashing or tools required). Choose from five different emissions-friendly performance settings and control everything from your smartphone. Back in September, Firepunk Diesel picked up 115-rwhp with the Edge EZ module on its in-house chassis dyno. The company’s 10,000-mile test mule went from 425-rwhp stock to 540-rwhp with the EZ in the mix. That’s a pretty good wake up call for your new Cummins, and the EZ retails for just $499.95.

4,461-RWHP & Still Holding Strong
It’s time for a little off-season converter refresh for 2025 UCC champ and chassis dyno record-holder, Josh McCormack. This is the torque converter WP Developments built for the 48RE in Josh’s beastly ’07 Dodge, and it’s the one that made his record-setting, 4,461-rwhp hit on the rollers possible—along with countless other blasts over the 3,000hp mark. After cutting it open, every heavy-duty weld, fin, and surface was carefully inspected for wear and possible weak links. Despite the level of abuse the converter had been subjected to, the folks at WP found little reason for concern—but that doesn’t mean it’s getting pieced back together the same way. Look for Josh’s “updated” converter to make even bigger numbers possible in 2026…
DHD: The 10L1000 Valvebody Game Just Changed
The aftermarket is slowly addressing the 10L1000’s factory shortcomings one by one, and DHD’s Extreme Billet Valvebody for GM’s 10-speed “Allison” is believed by many to be a game-changer. Due to 90-percent of all the 10-speed Allison’s problems stemming from the factory valvebody, this may prove the ultimate solution for 2020-current Duramax-powered trucks. The Extreme Billet Valvebody promises to quell harsh upshifts and downshifts, end premature clutch failure and limp mode conditions, and the dreaded P0747 code. Assembled using a T6061 billet-aluminum DNJ case half, the valvebody boasts improved valving, metering solutions, and solenoid stabilizers. No more bore sleeves, repair kits, deleted fluid circuits or other Band-Aids, DHD had released the permanent solution for your L5P.

Jumping Jack Flash Goes Triple-Turbo—And Cummins Power—For 2026
After eight years of campaigning a V-8 between the frame rails (including a P-pumped 7.3L, a common-rail 6.7L Power Stroke, and a P-pumped 6.7L Power Stroke), Ferenc and Nathan Vegh are repowering the Jumping Jack Flash Pro Stock Ford with a Cummins for 2026, as well as stepping up to the Super Stock category. Their decision to part ways with the Power Stroke wasn’t an easy one, but long-term durability and competing in Super Stock isn’t in the cards for a 6.7L Ford at the present time. On the bright side, going to the dark side has brought the Vegh’s back to their old friends at Haisley Machine. Next season, look for a bulletproof Haisley power plant—complete with three turbos hanging off it—to help them keep pace with the top-running trucks in the nation.
