I love my Edge and hate driving anything stock. Not just for the little extra power, but the shifting is way better and mpg is up a little bit.
You shoulda found your CS in the classifieds, I got my Edge for $200 shipped... about 50% of a new one at the time.

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.
Just a thought! PM me back and let me know!

I Like Tires
You bought a canned programmer. I used the Edge previously and did notice an improvement. But I switched to custom tuning from Troyer, it is beyond worth it. Transmission is much better, firmer. No throttle lag...you hit the gas, you get instant torque. As far as power, while I do have a few extra bolts on, I netted just about 50rwhp on my truck on stock tires before I lifted it on the premium performance tune. I wish I could find my dyno sheets.
