My truck is supercab fx4, elevation is about 3200.

I'd love someone to meet up with me and swap their edge for my troyer for a couple runs. If it's that large of a difference, I'm going to be pretty disappointed with Troyer and his fan club. The troyer tune didn't do much for me, but if the datalogging changes things I'll let you all know in my review. I wonder if I'll have to pay a fee for them to adjust my tuner from the datalogging results. That would be complete bs considering I have been paying for incredibly sorry gas mileage due to the tuner, and dealing with a very odd and moody accelerator. My guess is I will be charged for this, anyone have experience with datalogging and Mike? They are great people on the phone so don't get the wrong impression, but some have good results and others don't. Seems everyone has been happy with the edge and some have given some great results in comparison to the Troyer tuned xcal2.

Why don't you just buy one and try it? If you don't like it you should be able to make all but maybe ~$40 back by selling it.

If your getting worse gas mileage than stock (and your driving the same) somethings not right...I gained about 3mpg on average with my Edge tuner and I am honestly getting into it a lot more than I was before. I will say though that the tuner swap for a couple hourse isn't the best option...it seems the truck gets stronger after you have driven it a little vs a "fresh" tune.

Well I've had no luck trying to sell my underdrive pulley's, new in box in the classifieds here so I doubt it will be any easier to sell the edge. Either way, it's another $400 or so out of my pocket, and I'm still stuck with this pathetic XCal2. I can't afford to be out $400 like that. The return policy with Troyer is absolutely dreadful. They have warnings saying absolutely NO REFUNDS all over their documents. If you can tell by this post that I am not exactly happy with Troyer's products, then you're probably spot on.

Lol, I see.

Have you tried Ebay for your pulleys? The classifieds here don't seem very active.

As for the Edge, I think it would be easy to sell if necessary because it can be used with almost any pcm code from 2004 up. (as opposed to the Xcal which is only useful for someone with the same pcm code)

The Edge timer recorded a best of 6.9s for my truck (however reliable that is). Not bad for an otherwise bone stock truck.

Absolutely. These engines are very capable considering all you need is a tuner to make them competitive with the [albeit much lighter] competition. There is a large gap of 0-60 times between those with 2wd and 4wd's, just keep that in mind. After all the current mods in my sig I am running a 7 second if the conditions are complimentary.

Sheesh, my truck is a dog on the take off, so I know my 0-60 times suck, suck real bad. However, when my truck does what I purchased it for, (towing), on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, it does a 25!!

All my 0-60 stuff goes with my fast sportcars and such..Not with my truck..

When you first got your truck you were talking about how fast it was for a stock truck, now you expect us to believe that it's a total dog after the mods you've done to it? Something just doesn't add up. Get an accurate means of judging performance gains, the seat of the pants just doesn't cut it.

As far as the no refunds policy goes, why would you expect a refund? The money you pay for the tuning isn't for the device, it's for the tunes loaded on it. You paid for his time. Just because what your butt dyno doesn't think you've gained enough, isn't grounds for a refund. Put the truck back into the configuration is was tuned for and make an appointment for a dyno session, or use yoru seemingly bottomless pit of money to purchase some sort of performance meter.

BTW, if you would read the docs that came with your tuning, you'd see that adjustments to your tuning are FREE as long as the datalogging is completed within 60 days or receiving your tuner.

Are you kidding me? I'm tired of the Troyer fan boys trying to convince me my truck is fast for the mods I've done to it. Do you know how much money I've put into it for you to say, "What did you expect"? When you say a whole new truck, I think I'm going to expect a whole new truck or at least some decent gains, not a moody accelerator and an extremely hungry engine. I've taken into consideration my weight, mathematically, 4wd, again, mathematically. It doesn't add up to anything near where I should be. Could my timing methods be any simpler? It's common sense, the start and stop of it. It's less than a couple tenths off every time, I guarantee you that. The performance gains from the XCal2 were nothing like you and the fan boys were boasting about. Nothing. I am not going to just go with the grain because you are telling me I probably just don't know what I'm talking about. Does that justify my performance, and does that mean I'm lying about all the problems I'm suffering? Instead I'll play it fair and let the rest of you guys know that I have had little less than satisfactory results with Troyer's tune. This really gets under my skin because I paid almost $500 for a custom tune that gives me dreadful gas mileage, and detracts from the truck with the odd accelerator patterns, and now people like you are trying to tell me it's fine.

How is a no refund policy ok? I can't even return my brand new pulley's. If you're confident your products will sell, why would you have a no refund policy. Just to clear this up, I have nothing against Troyer but in my opinion them and their products are a little inflated as far as satisfaction with them goes. Particularly the custom tuned XCal2. But yeah, you're probably right, I'm just an idiot with 10+mpg and a proper accelerator out to get Troyer.
