Thanks for all the kind words folks! I know I'm going to love it here - already learned a lot!
Should I look at the "out-of-the-box" tunes via something like the EDGE Controller, or more of a Custom Dynotune by a local Ford Tuner? Regretfully, I must say that the truck feels rather sluggish.
Actually I live in King, just north of Winston Salem. I don't think I've seen you out yet, but I will definitely keep my eyes open from here on out. Looks like you've got a beast!!

This is by far the best mod i've ever done and well worth the money, it gives you a 100% better driving truck all around like (better shifts, tap of the foot acceleration, driveability, and lots more) Just my .02 cents and welcome to the ford family

(or a Duke fan for that matter 
)To answer your question...
www.troyerperformance.com
Go there, call them, they can answer everything you could possibly want to know. You'll also get the best tune for your truck should you decide buy from Mike Troyer. There are plenty of people here who will vouch for his work, myself included.
I thought all the new FX4s had the flow throughs, what gives with yours?
Enjoy your new truck!

I don't follow college sports enough to really have a favorite team I guess. I did enjoy watching Commonwealth's victory last night at the bar though, I must say.
When shopping for an FX4 I ran across a bunch that were optioned with the Captain's Chairs & flow-through console (thanks for the pic!), but a couple of them didn't. I guess they were an option.

Heres what the product looks like in the truck.....

If you want some of those goodies the edge comes with you can get a Scanguage II or DashHawk cheaper than the edge.
