All this edge talk is really making me want to pull the trigger and try one of things. Guess I need to start looking for the best price

 

Hey a 7 second 0-60 is great for that truck. Not like you are gonna have lightning type quickness with any other tinkering. Have fun with you truck again!

 

I went from 12 to 15.5 on level 3. When I fill up it's an extra $6 for 93 but it saves me $20.50 per tank full.
So saving $14.50 everytime you fill up..... plus always having that extra power there when you need it is well worth 93 octane.

 

Best fuel? The best fuel is what the engine burns the most efficiently, and the cleanest. Higher octane does not equal better fuel.

Anyway, I was just asking if the tunes were dependent on the octane. I won't pay the difference in fuel costs, for little to no gains in performance. Sorry, didn't mean to step on ego's.

Little to no gains in performance? Did you not hear me say how night and day my truck is with this tuner compared to stock?

 

Night and day is not a calculatable number. It is purely emotional, subjective, and not quantitative. Do you have dyno charts? Do you have timeslips from a track?

Look, I am not trying to be an ***. I am being objective. I have heard a lot of claims of exhaust, and filters, and tornados giving performance gains, and they are mostly in the minds of those that wrote the checks.

I am just asking for info...

There's a dyno, heh.

You could always look at the F150's normal 0-60 time of 9.12 and see that with better shifting and tuning I almost shaved off a whole two seconds. I installed an intake and exhaust on my old Bronco and yeah, I could tell a difference, but nothing like the difference this tuner made.

 

Let me asure you the seat of the pants gain from a tune is nothing like the seat of pants gained from a airfilter. You can see (big black streaks left by the back tires...lets see a stock tuned truck smoke 24s!), feel (the truck just plain pulls MUCH harder), and hear (the truck sounds totaly different at both start and idle) a difference. But if you want numbers...how does 11.13 0-60 stock vs 7.16 (best....7.3s average) Level 3 tuned sound. I don't care who you are...you can but a 4 sec improvment is dramatic and something you can feel!

 

Is that a manufacturers dyno claim for a 4.6 or a 5.4, heh?

Jesus, I feel like I am back in the Lightning forums...

And that is at the expense of 93 octane, like I first asked? Yep.

You guys are way too emotional about your trucks. Relax a little, things will make more sense.

 

The expense of 93 octane? I calculated it out a while back and at the current gas prices around here, I was getting the same numbers with 93 octane but way better performance and not to mention its a cleaner gas.

 

So where can I get this? I havent logged into the forum in a while and here I am ready to buy something. Geeez...bad news. My truck is in the shop getting repaired from an accident, so why not buy it a treat for when it gets out!!!!!!!!!

Did you buy it directly from them? I like that it has a mount too.

 

Jsut purchased an '06 KR SCrew and did a little research before purchasing the Edge EVO. I have never had a tuner before and have never done any mods on any vehicle. Installation was very simple, programming was simple except for calculating my tire circumference. I have the optional 20' rims. After figuring that out, the rest was a piece of cake. Now my truck acts like a totally different truck. Performance gains were very noticable, towing is a lot easier, mpg went up, etc. Well worth the purchase and when I get a wild hair, I just program in level 3 and stomp the gas. The acceleration is almost astonishing compared to stock. Just hope its not bad for the engine.

 

Mine comes tomorrow, this is killing me.

 

I guess I have to see what SCT can do for me. Thanks everyone.

 

Did you read my first post to you about "the expense of 93 octane"? The increase in MPG more than makes up for the additional cost of Premium gas...HELLO! Maybe things will make sense to YOU if you would read all the posts before you comment.
