Tuning Edge

Hey guys...i've had my edge since we got them in the group buy. I have on my 325/55/20 nittos and i cant chirp them like many people can. I'm on regular lvl 2 to custom tune. Does anyone have a good tune setting? I was getting on the high way the other day and gunned it, boy did the tranny shift hard. What shift points should i use?thanks

Drop out of overdrive before you kick it, that 4-2 downshift is really hard on the tranny. I just use standard level 2 on my Evo and it is fine for my daily driving pleasure.

No chirping here, L2 or L3 - running 35x12.50's, so don't really expect it.

If you can only barely chirp your tires in the rain your truck has some problems or you arent getting on it hard enough. My truck has 35's and even before I got it regeared and the edge, I could roast my tires, even with my posi rear-end.

I'm running a level 3 tune now and I just recently did the 0-60 time. My truck couldn't do it before but from that standstill on a straighaway, I roasted the hell out of my tires and I'm running the 285s. With the edge programmed and everything, you should easily be able to "chirp" your tires. Put it to the floor and I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
