Been running the EDGE for 2 years now and still Love it...Improved performance and better gas mileage. Broke the display once (my fault) and the service was great.

a chip or a tuner? a tuner is better all around. edge and troyer are two very good picks on this site. superchips and hypertech tuners are very good also, especially when it comes to fuel economy. if you want more power than anything than the edge would be your best bet. my dads 06 f350 has a superchip flashpaq and he gets 16mpg while pulling a 16 ft enclosed trailer with 3000lbs in it and 7 people inside the truck going through the mountains in virginia at about 85 mph on average.

I had the Edge for almost 2 years, then got custon tunes from the guy that sells the Gryphon. The Edge and Gryphon are teh same hardware and same canned tunes, but the Gryphon offers custom tunes to fit your specific setup, plus gets a few more HP out of the engine. You can even get a fuel economy tune. The Gryphon would be my choice. The Edge and the Gryphon canned tunes add about 25 HP and much better shifting. I would hate to have to do without mine.

i would agree. my dad had to take his superchip out of his truck to take it to the dealer. when he got it back the dealer had installed a new program into his truck and he had to wait 3 weeks for superchip to give him the right update. his truck flys with the superchip. without it, it seemed like driving a mack tractor truck. without it i preferred to drive my little f150 5.0 which i feel is kinda sad even though its slightly modded with a cam a hypertech chip and exhaust and cai. my truck can finally keep up with my dads.
