Just the cheapest place you can find it, hard to get a custom tune for them anymore but the canned ones aren't terrible

+1. You can still get the Edge Evolution for $369, but as above, there are no custom tunes available. The canned one for towing did make a difference, at least for me. You can get newer models, which DO allow you to customize some parameters, and can get custom ones built for you, but needless to say, at higher cost. If all you want to do is monitor, and can accept canned tunes, then you can still get the old generation of Edge Evolution new on Ebay, or possibly used on Craigslist. Plugs into OBD-II port, and you can run that cable behind the dash into its dedicated pod (OK, so you'll have to remove a panel or 2). Mine at least showed me the discrepancy between the gauge tach, and what the PCM knows about true engine RPM.

Yes. Do a custom program and leave trans shift points stock and shift firmness stock. Also the only way to accurately to monitor trans temp is with a external trans temp gauge. The built in nit is only monitoring temps in the valve body.



Quick Reply: Manual Oil Pressure, Coolent Temp, and either trans temp or Exhaust. how hard?
