Even on a stock truck go with the SCT. Unless you live in N Florida, then go with the Edge so when it cooks the tranny I can make some money..

But, how many times does this problem need to be stated before people stop spending money because the Edge looks cool?
Oh I know...

it had just been a while since I had heard anyone whacking at the edge. But, they supposedly rectified the tranny issues in the newer versions. At least that's what I hear.

I still want to put the question out there, why trust your expensive truck to someone who did not build it, when there is a programmer out there from ppl that did build the truck, car etc.
