hello everybody im new to truck modding and all that knd of stuff but i have a 2004 xlt flareside, i already got a flowmaster cat-back exhaust for it and i love the way it sounds! but i plan on towing a camper and some other stuff.. im looking for a good engine tuner, i dont need alot of features, just something nice, i was looking at the edge evolutions but im not sure about brands or anything so any input would b great! my price limit is about 400 bucks.. thanks!

 

Go with the Edge, you wont be disappointed. Plus it has a towing setting for when your pulling the toys. Most others are just tuners while the Edge is that plus a continuous monitor of the truck system also. Plus it looks pretty cool...haha.

 

haha sounds perfect, thanks!

 

If you plan on continuing to modify your truck (especially an A/M intake on a 5.4L, 2004), do NOT buy an Edge unless you plan on converting it to a Gryphon and getting custom tunes.

Read these and then decide:

If that's not enough reading - try the search feature. There are hundreds of posts on intakes, programmers, custom tunes, canned tunes, etc.

 

I have the Hypertech power programmer, adjusts rev limit, tire size and speed rating, axle ratio, fuel, shift points, i think i got them all, recommended by 4wheel parts store

 

that is not custom tunes. custom tunes by a tuner will blow the hypertech away!

 

so what tuner do you have if you don't mind me asking or is it better to get a shop to custom tune it

 

get the edge

 

i dont have custom tunes yet but i used to have a superchip, for the price custom tunes are the best, VMP troyer and PHP all have good tuners and tunes for around the same price

 

I'm just curious shotgun why do you dislike edge evolutions and canned tunes so much. I personaly love mine and most people who have them do but I always see you putting them down. Im just wondering what your reasoning is. Thanks
