factory o2 sensors are narrow band. Innovate's LM-1 Wide Band unit works very well with the SCT software (hint, hint). I dont care how cool the Edge looks, you couldnt pay me to run it. I would rather spend more and get the Livewire.

The Edge is a canned tuner and made for any F150 on the road, doesn't take any of your mods into account. The Xcal II comes loaded with custom tunes while the Xcal III and Livewire can run both canned as well as custom tunes. Most people who run the Edge do so simply because of the guages, get a Livewire if you really have to have the guages. Or get yourself the Xcal II or III and then buy a Scanguage II. Either way you decide to go, for the same price I would go custom over canned any day of the week.

the live-wire looks pretty cool but i cant find it on the sctflash.com site to see what features it has and maybe a price idea

You can do the same thing and more with the Scanguage II that's why I threw that option out there in my earlier response. I plan to ask for the Scanguage for Christmas.
