Has I believe 12 different parameters you can watch. Like Average MPG, RPMS, MPH, Engine temp ect ect. Serves as digital gauges and you can even set an alarm on them so if they get to a certain temp you don't want to reach it will go off if your not paying attention which is cool.

You can control alot of different things. You can mess with WOT, shift firmness, rev limit and a bunch of other things. Go to www.powerhungryperformance.com and read there or Edge's website. It tells you a bunch of stuff.

Since it's reading directly from the PCM/ECM, it's as accurate as the transmission fluid temperature sensor is (bad in, bad out).

Sure - they're called custom tunes. Best performance will be the 91+ octane performance tune. Of course this tune should not be used for towing or with 87 octane.

Unless you are extremely informed on Ford's engine/powertrain management system it would be very dangerous to attempt to improve on an experienced custom tuner's settings (such as PHP, VMP, or Troyer).

I wont really be wanting to use a power setting as much as the MPH
