Default edge evolution questions

i have a 4.6L f-150 and just bought the edge evolution, a volant CAI, and a MBRP exhaust. when i got my evolution i was looking at the user manual and it said not to use with other add ons such as a CAI or after market exhaust. it said that it would run lean and cause problems but i see a lot of people running programmers and CAI's along with exhaust does anyone know if this is going to be a problem to run all the up grades. or if anyone has had a problem with this same issue.

Most reputable engine builders and tuners will tell you to only use the Edge with a stock truck.

If you want custom tunes, you need to get it upgraded to a Gryphon.

Another option is to use the tow tune (it has a richer AFR) and you're less likely to run into long term issues.

you will be fine with the edge and the exhaust on a 4.6 you would only have to worry about runnin lean with the 5.4 and CAI on the 4.6 you should be fine

i am running an Edge, an S&B and a Magnaflow Exhaust and have not had any problems but you will get more of a benefit with custom tunes

I have the Edge on my 4.6 with CAI and CB exhaust-I have been running this set up for 3 yrs now with no problems.

I drove the truck 3600 kms out here to AB with no worries at all. I even got about 23 mpg most of the trip...

They will upgrade the tunes (when you pay for it).
