You're trading up the Troyer tune for the Edge? Hmm.

Good Luck.

Nope. I just got the Edge to see how it compares. Once it get here I'll do some Gtech timed runs with both and let you guys see the results. I figure some on here might be interested.

What in the hell, you have a 6.x 0-60mph with those mods. Tell me anything else you have that differs from me (3.55's, etc).

I have those mods and more and I can't even spin them from a deadstop. My tuning is not very aggressive, I have a huge pathetic gap in my pedal where it acts just like a flat or dead spot and provides no acceleration through 50% of the pedal (the rpms won't even increase) and it shifts at 3k rpms with overdrive on (very bad for gas mileage). I think I'm going to make a phone call. I've put more into my engine including the mods you have done and I still have poor performance. Are you running 93 octane, I am running 91 but it shouldn't be such a big difference in performance, because it's HUGE between mine and yours. I'm taking it up with TP here in a minute, they're quite the support.

Nobody "sabotaged" your tuning. If your unhappy, you should call MT and talk to him about it.

Oh and one more thing.

Yes, it does. I had 11mpg in town before, now I have about 8-9 if I'm lucky. I am quite disatisfied with my truck after the Xcal2, hopefully Mike and I can work it out. You are not the only one running 6.x 0-60's, there was a thread a few weeks ago with someone posting their 0-60 times on their g-tech with pics, and a Titan owner later in the thread posted his as well, they shared their gtech. I am modded more than that truck and he'll beat me. My truck is not very quick even after all these mods. I expected much more, at least mid 6 0-60's. I will be giving MT a call because I hate those who fault people for accidental mistakes, which I'm hoping this is. I'll keep you updated.

Josiah, you have to take into consideration that hwm3 is running a 4X2 and you have a 4X4......I think this might have a little to do with

Must have missed that I still don't think that should account for an entire second. We'll see, troyer's taking care of it.
