edge in 3 days, or do data logging / dyno runs and then in about 7 weeks, maybe 5 you get the better tuned Xcal which also costs more.

Throttle body spacer is close to 15 dyno-proven horsepower. Have you checked into magnesium push rods? You can pick them up pretty cheap its just the install that sucks.

Get the Edge Evolution tuner! It's a great product for the 5.4's. It wake the engine up BIG time.

Being that both the 4.6L and the 5.4L are OHC motors, meaning they have NO pushrods, I would certainly hope he was joking. If not, someone needs some serious help.
