yeah i ran the superchip before i bought my edge and it added a tiny bit off noticable performance but doesnt even compare to an edge or better yet a custom tuned programmer basically if you are serious about a chip save the money and do it right the first time best time to do it is when you have all your mods ready to go like exhaust, intake, etc etc this will get you most gains for the money!! good luck

The Edge manual?
Transmission Only Program
This setting is the lowest level setting. It will provide firmer transmission shifts which helps to increase the transmission life. It does not provide any engine performance increases and is designed to run with regular unleaded (85 to 87 octane) fuel.
Tow Performance Program (87+ octane fuel)
This setting not only provides improved transmission shifting, but will also modify the ignition timing and fuel injection strategies to improve the performance of your vehicle. This level is designed to run with 87 octane fuel, although you may realize additional benefits by running 89 octane (or better) fuel. You should see an improvement in fuel economy as well as added horsepower and torque. When towing a heavy load such as a boat or camper, we recommend you using this setting.
High Performance Program (91+ octane fuel)
This is the highest performance setting for the Evolution. The fuel injection and ignition timing strategies are aggressively tuned to extract the maximum performance from your vehicle without sacrificing drivability or durability. The transmission strategy is modified to take advantage of the increased engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts. Due to the high performance nature of this setting, you will be required to run 91 octane (or better) fuel.

Don't know if this helps because I have an automatic but level 2 and 3 provided the same mpg's for me along the flat east coast. I ran the settings for weeks and sometimes a month or more to try things. Timing bumps according to the edge manual seemed to add the most hp and not affect mpg's in a negative way unless you go to far. My truck seems to want about a 1/4 tank of gas run through it before I can start to feel differences. There is a section in my 05 Ford manual that shows Ford's recommended shift points for manual transmissions. I've noticed the automatic shifts close to these points also. The edge was a new toy when I got it but I have chilled out with everything I've tried and just go with a slight timing bump with higher octane fuel and a little firmer auto tranny shift points. Definitely happy with it and want to upgrade to the Gryphon once PHP seems to be back on track.
