Hello all,

I've installed an Ege EVO into my 2007 FX4 and it's been great. One question for my F150 friends.......Edge says that level 1 is purely a transmission shifting program offering no additional performance. Level 2 - towing supposedly offers increased performance and maintains a certain degree of shift firmness.
Level 1 in my opinion seems to be quicker in terms of 0to60.......

What level do you run for everyday driving and why????

Thanks All

 

I run Level 2 right now, simply because its not cost-effiecent to run Level 3. When you say level 1 is quicker in your opinion...have you actually timed it? or is that simply what you think?

 

I run mine on level 1 for every day driving and level 2 when I'm towing. I only run it on level 3 when I feel like hauling ***. In my opinion you have faster 0-60 on level 1 but after that you don't have as much power as u do on level 3

 

i run level 2 on my 06 4.6,its on the 6in fabtech and 35s stock gears, k&n drop in,larger intake tube. i get 18.5 mpg on the highway going 65-70,also 8oz of lucas fuel addative every tank full with 89 octane. on level 3 with the lucas i only get 16-16.5 mpg and thats with 91 octane.

 

I did run 2 x 0-60 runs back to back (I have run several on level 2). I average 8.6-8.7 on level 1, I ran a 9.15 on level 2????

It just has a much tamer feeling in level 2. The dyno charts provided by Edge inidcate something entirely different.....

Thanks in advance for any additional comments

 

I run mine on level 3 all the time i have to run 93. I have seen as high as 16.3 to 12.8 on that level. I do think that level 1 if you drive without putting your foot in it you get the most constant mpg. 15 for me But on level 2 when you are towing it makes the most difference. It was like night and day for me when pulling my boat. I do run 93 fuel all the time

 

I'm custom tuned now but when I had my Evo, all I ran was Lvl 3 w/ 93. It was like a bat out of hell. Great power throughout the band, even at the higher RPM's. I was/am always in my peddle, so gettin 12.8 was where I was at. Lvl 2 is great for towing since it holds the gear shifts longer, giving you a huge 2nd which is where you mainly stay when towing.

 

I keep mine on 2. Level 1 doesnt seem to do anything, and 3 is just ridiculous(but fun). 2 Usually nets me around 14mpg but thats not calculating the 33" tires, so its probably getting around 16mpg or so.

 

Why not correct your tire size in the Edge?

 

Like PopTop04 I run mine on Level 3 daily and switch to Level 2 on the rare occasion I'm pulling a trailer. I admit to a heavy foot and while it is more expensive to run 93 octane, the truck feels like driving a slug at Level 1 after having gotten used to Level 3. I'm addicted to the added power and punch of Level 3 --- but I plan to upgrade to a Gryphon and get a 87 performance custom tune to get back in line with the economy of gas prices.
