I think the $365 was w/ a 17% coupon that was available to everyone. Then there was another coupon that took off $101 and people that bought in the group buy said there price was around $15 below that. That was a group of 60 or so. I guess if someone really wants it then don't really make much difference how much it is. Gotta pay to play

truckraingparts.com will have their coupon again tomorrow morning (thursday).. i am not sure if it will be for the same amount off as before but if it is the final price will be 339 shipped..... they had it at that price when they had stock... they sold a ton for them....another site matched that price, discountpowerparts.com when truckracing had the product in stock, since they do not now, discounts price is 359 +shipping....
from what i understand the group buy was less than 339 but not by much...
check truckracing tomorrow (thursday) if your interested in the Edge....
When businesses compete Consumers win.....

Thanks FORREST. I called truck racing parts yesterday and they said they may not have any for a couple of weeks due to their backorder status and that they are trying to fill the ones that have already been placed. I never really got an answer from them as far as price, nor did I really see the price on any of the many forums I was looking at. The one I saw said the first price so when these guys said $$$ I jumped on it. I am happy with the price and at least they have stock to fill and not on backorder. I was late on the bandwagon with the group buy since I was moving.

Does anyone have a 2003+ Chevy Tahoe??? The trottle response is amazing on those SUVs and I was wondering if anyone could give a comparison. I hear this EDGE really helps the sh1tty throttle response in the stock setup.
I dont have any programer yet but I do own a 05 Tahoe and im so pissed at the power of the f-150. I drive the Tahoe on the weekends (wifes truck for the kids)
and the power is like going from a Lightning to a Civic it just sucks. I went to the dealer 3 times and the dealer told me to get a programer. The Tahoe has a 5.3l and now you can get the 6.0l in the new 07 model. If I find out that im not using the bed that much in my screw im going to get a Suburban. More power,better fuel, more comfertable. We`ve had the Tahoe for 15 months and its been to the dealer once for an inspection sticker thats it. Plus on star is great. Still like the F-150 but ford needs to step up.

I feel your pain. I think you'll be happy with a tuner, I will personnally recommend the edge because thats the only thing I've used. I use to work at a large chevy dealership, and to tell you the truth I was never impressed with the throttle of the thaoe/silverado/suburbans. What I didn't like about it was that it seemed to touchy, youd push the pedal down and it would just barely go, then you give a little more and it would throw your dead back. Just not very smooth or anything in between. just my .02.
Now back on track, Yes, the f-150 needs some help to be comparable for throttle response, but my truck did a complete turn around after the tuner. I think it is better NOW than than the Chevs.

Our Tahoe is good from a dead stop all the way to full throttle. I would never think about getting a programer for that and I was hoping the same for the f-150. I like the edge alot but want to get other mods first and a programer is probably one of the last things on my list. My screw is just to heavy to worry about 0-60s. But there is no passing gear what so ever and off the line sucks. The dealer even told me to get gears. So the Edge will have to be on the list in about a year. I hope your right about the Edge. Thank you.

course not. And valen, you would smoke me with all the mods I have right now. Damn Troyer tune. You would especially smoke me with my flows on, I just lost tonight to a new maxima (I believe). What an embarrassment. I think I am going to put my magnaflow back on after that race. I can't take it. Then again, you're 2wd, so that makes sense. If I had my magnaflows back on I might beat you in 40 degree weather (seriously). I ran just under a 7 second 0-60 when it was 40 degrees out.
