im almost to that stage of getting an edge it sounds like its some trouble...
has anyone else had any trouble with there edge?

Dude get an SCT Xcalibrator 2. It is easy to use, I made 16 more horsepower and 38 more torque with a good dyno tune on it. WELL worth it. It will datalog, you have alot of diffrent user setting inside the base tunes. You can have 3 tunes in it. Power, economy and hauling. If thats how you want it set up. Its re-programmable so if you get another ford you can have the programmer re-flashed for it. If anyone is in the Tallahassee area we have a dyno set up. I highly reccommend getting an Excal.

well im more than likely gonna get an edge ive heard really nothing but good things and the only bad is in stage 3 the tq converter locks and unlocks ill doubt ill be in stage 3 and some one had a cel come on and what not and edge claims that you can get gains up to 35 hp and 50 tq but im willing to bet thats maxed all the way out anyway im gonna order my edge TOMARROW once i cash my tax return chk and then ill be a happy man

I was gonna say you should buy one real soon, because of price's going up I believe around 100 bucks. But now I see that you are ordering tmrw. so you should be just fine

oh yeah i can get from discount power parts for 422.25 or something like that and thats tax and overnight shipping cause i cant wait more that 2-3days for this bad boy but the orileys here in town says they meet or beet prices and i might be able to get an employee dicount cause of my peeps haha but i still think with them ill have to wait 7-10 days for it, i had to wait 2 weeks for some k&n filters i bought a while back that was hell waiting im not too paitent when it comes to my truck and what not haha but ill get some pics up hopefully this week after i get it

Those are the key words. I can promise you unless you dyno tune your truck they CANNOT give you a mail order tune on a 4.6 and gain that much. We had a Ford engine designer in the shop yesterday and he was impressed with the 16 hp gain with no other mods. Do what you want. The seat -o - pants dyno will lie to you every time.

I gained more than that at the Flywheel. The numbers I posted were Wheel HP numbers. Did the Edge tuner finally fix the transmission problems they were causing. Since they couldnt control the shift pressure in the transmissions?

yeah whell i dont care!!! haha and i know that thats just like they say exhaust CAN give you 16hp but in all actuality its more like 5-12 depending on engine and tube size and what not, im not expecting to get 35hp and 50 tq out of the box if i was thinking that then i would have to be a complete dumb ***** and that i am not... well at least not a complete one! haha but its capable of that and who knows i just might have a guy that knows what hes doing and i might have acces to a dyno so i just might achive all of that
i have no idea about the xcal2 so far your the only person that i have talked to that had one ive heard all sorts of good things about edge and what it can do... and who knows if i dont like therer is always a return policy!

the only problem was in stage 3 and im not buying for stage 3 im buying it for stage 2 which is preformance. i belive that stage3 is for towing sinnce the only problem i have heard of is the tq converter locking and unlocking at 40-60and light peadal

and if i can just take a glance at the left side of my truck and c my tuner and some stats then im happy and
so if you gained more than that at the flywheel then what are you putting down to the ground???
O and the edge does a lot more that that...
