Edge programmer question
My awsome wife got me a Edge for early Fathers Day. I have been watching and reading on these and came across a thread on here stating I would have to get it custom programmed since I have a CAI, and exhaust done. Is this true?
Thanks!
Thanks!

And if you do want the full benefit of your truck (not just the CAI) you should get the custom tunes.

Which CAI are you running? Some of them are known for causing more lean issues than others. Especially on the 04 and 05's before Ford altered the Spark/Timing/Ping Mgt. pgm's.

a custom tune is just what it sounds like...it is customized for your truck and how it's setup----air intake, exhaust, supercharger, or whatever your running under the hood. if your motor is bone stock, a custom tune will be better than canned tunes (stock edge settings would be considered a canned tune) it just gets you the most power that you can with the mods you have.... i have an edge that i setup how i wanted it....trans shift points, and a bunch of other stuff

I feel stupied for asking all these questions but I really have no idea on this electronic stuff so bare with me. ATOM you said you did the custom yourself or i need to take it to a dealer and let them know what I got so they can program it. This should be the last question on this subject anyway.
Thanks again

read thru your edge manual...if you understand it, then make your own customs tunes, however, don't take this the wrong way please....but if you gotta ask about a custom tune, i would not recommend "adjusting your settings" you can add too much fuel, retard the timing too much, make the trans shift erratic. if you still have the edge in the package, just my opinion here, send it back and get a custom tune. PHP or troyer are about 125 bucks more than the edge, however it will yeild you the most ponies....but i understand the whole wife/gift thing, sometimes they feel bad if you wanna return it, you know what i mean..

ATOM and SINCITY Thanks for the help! Glad I joined this forum you guys know your chit. What I'll probably do is go down to one of the custom shops here and let them make the adjustments.

i run the edge evo with a dual exhaust and a afe stage 2 intake and the truck runs awesome with the tuner and no custom tunes but sin is correct there are some intakes that will lean out your truck due to its desighn thats why i chose the afe cos of the tube desighn and the maf sensor is pretty much not moved compared to stock so i never had any lean problems!
