Check out truckracingparts.com, one week sale using a provided coupon. Not a bad non group price...

I finnaly lined up with my friends hemi and even though I did not win, I felt I could have. I had too much wheel spin(out of all the times it would not spin them, it spins them now!). Either ways from 0-90 he only had me by 1/2 his truck. And that to me makes me feel much better than the car lengths he had me at before. During the run it was not totaly even as he was edging me ever so slighty. He has a drop in k&n, dual exaust, thats it. I have drop in k&n, SIDO flows. and the edge set on #3.
How do the trucks compare, both 4*4 or 2*4, shortbed, gears, both extended cabs? Just curious.

well we both have 2x4, I have 3.55 and i'm not sure about him, He has quadcab and I have screw. His bed is not long. So can I safely bump up the octane to 94-95? I use 93 currently. BTW, how would that help me? Also I am 32ft above sea level.
Thanks

If your using 93 octane gas you should have it set at 95 anyways. .

Ok i'll try that, I just want to kinow how much would that help me out though? I really dont want to bump it up to 95 if it might cause pinging....

It must have been a sign. As I leaned over to plug in my EDGE for the first time this morning I realized the ODO said exactly 1,000m. Tomorrow it gets it's 3rd bath and a tank of 93 for shigs and gittles. Next week it gets LT handles (ordered) and a Dawn bath followed by fresh wax. I wish I had Zaino, but it's White, so what the hell. Mothers should be good enogh.

My initial impressions...

As soon as I received the unit I went outside and hooked it up and entered my correct tire size and programmed the truck to level one, having already read the manual posted here before the unit arrived. That all took about 3 minutes. My initial impression was that this was way too easy. The EDGE couldn't be any easier to use unless it could read your mind and set itself up for the tuning and displays you are thinking about. I like this thing better every day I use it. Those are my initial experiences and impressions with the unit.

Does the pod match the dash very well?

Yes, it will. The manual shows tire sizes larger than 38 inches diameter. The maximum wheel size the Evolution supports is 3500mm.
