but i would reccomend getting a good custom tuned programmer like a sct or gryphon but i run the edge evolution and it worked wonders for me and has alot of things you can adjust like shift points and firmness, timing, etc etc best bang for the buck was def my programer!!

Just curious as to why you would spend all that money on tires, and then do burnouts with them?? You are driving a truck, not a muscle car.

well i personally have the edge evo and absolutley love it but for the best bang for your buck on a programer,although its goin to cost abit more,would be a custom tune for your mods compared to say the edge which is just a canned tune. with custom tunes they can program your truck to its fullest potential of power and you can also get performance settings on a lower octane gas im sure someone with a custom tuned programer will chime in shortly to give you more info on the subject. but i am going to have my edge upgraded to a gryphon in the near future for sure if you search around you will see that you cant go wrong with either a gryphon or an sct..

i run the afe stage 2 and i love it but there are aton to choose from. i bought the afe after searching and researching but i made my final choice after talking to a good friend of mine that builds 4x4's here in town, and he reccomended that cai for my truck and it was worth the money but to get the full power of the cai and exhaust you def need a tuner i noticed a huge difference once i added the edge into the mix!!
