I can vouch, the one on our F-450 unlocked huge gains, the one on our 2010 5.4 does awesome too. The key is custom tunes. I recommend Franchi on here or More Power Tuning. The canned tunes vs custom on our 2010 was a night and day difference. I'm fixing to order one for my truck with custom tunes too.

I have a sct livewire and like it very much. I can not speak to the others as I have not owned any of them. While the stock tunes aren't bad I am looking forward to getting some custom tunes from mpt.

I wasn't saying that sct is good for diesels, just that comparing their canned tunes to edges canned tunes for gas I would choose sct first. If I ever got 6.0, I would run an race tune all the time.

But Tackle, I do like the edge CS because of it being a programmer vs the sct 3015 being a tuner. Its more attractive and I like the adjust on the fly options as well.

That Livewire looks fairly large compared to the Edge CS.

Price wise, the edge cs and the SCT 3015 and comparable and the edge cts and SCT livewire match up pretty well. Being a adjust on the fly programmer does give the cs advantages over the 3015 but I still believe the 3015 will net you more power gains

I have the SCT 3015 with MPT custom tunes and I'm happy with the results.

That's a close up pic tackle, it may be a little bigger though I've never seen a cs in person. I do like that you can get the dash pod with the cs and cts though. I'm still trying to decide exactly where to put my sct, that's why the wire isn't hidden yet.

Hey SJP, what tunes did you get from MPT just curious about possible options for when I'm ready to order them?

93 Performance, 89 Performance and 87 Performance.
The only thing I have ever run has been the 93 octane with the (street) trans setting, nice firm shifts.
