yeah that's how he recommended i pay. he says its returned to stock and ready to go on any truck, is paypal trustworthy?

PayPal is absolutely trustworthy. If he does not send you the item they will refund you immediately even if his PayPal account is empty they will take it out of his Bank Account.

sorry i hijacked the thread a bit but i'm back on now. i've decided i'm just going to buy a new edge cs for $430. It's about $100 more than the edge evo i was originally getting, but i think that that extra hit is worth taking for the custom tune capability. good choice?

Superchips claims gains of 28 TQ and 44 hp for the 3.7 V6. These claims seem beyond ridiculous. Either superchips is exagerating or the 3.7 really does have potential. What are your guys' thoughts? Bringing my truck up to 306 TQ and 346 hp sounds pretty good to me.

IMO i think programmers are a bunch of hooplah. It may be a different story if you're either in a diesel or in a huge lifted truck with big tires, but if you're truck is only leveled with 33's or less a programmer will not make any difference in performance. trust me I just found out the hard way by ordering an edge cs and am trying to return it to where i to AutoAnything where i purchased it, but their customer service is being a major pain in the ***... NOT worth $400+, I would say they should be worth $150 or less.

Sorry to hear you weren't happy with yours. I love mine however, but I think it would be more worth it without lift and tires because any HP it adds is negated by the greater wind resistance and heavier rolling resistance and taller gear ratio created by the tires. Just my outlook on it.

If you get a custom tune I bet you would be a lot happier, much more noticeable difference from what I hear.
