I suites my needs perfectly. I knew my speedo would be off and that the tranny would be a bit flaky due to that after I installed my 305/55/20's. The Edge obviously allowed me to compensate for the tires by inputing their size. I run the Edge on Level 2 since I'm not about to dump anything but 87 in my truck. Works like a charm!

I am MOST pleased by the display options. Having a race car with several gauges to monitor all sorts of engine parameters is ideal. When I get into my truck, or Neon, or the wifes VW, I feel that I'm at an extreme disadvantage not knowing what's going on compared to my Mustang.

The Edge allows one to display up to four engine parameters simultaneously from a pool of about 15. I set it up to display the Coolant Temp, Oil Temp, Tranny Fluid Temp and the Air Intake temp.

I've got intake, exhaust, 4.10 gears, and custom 93 dyno tunes from VMP and I still find myself wanting more power. The power bug is hard to get rid of.

gryphon will be custom tuned to your truck...Just the difference in the Edge and the Gryphon was night and day...Like the others said, the display is a nice piece w/ valuable information....

it whistles 'cause it's restricting your airflow, the only thing you did was successfully lightnened your wallet


agadawg1717 a custom tued tuner will always outperform a canned tuner I had a hypertech and moved on to an Xcal2

i have had both, i changed from hypertech to gryphon i like the display of the gryphon but performance wise i couldnt tell much difference but that was with canned tunes in both but i expect that the customs tunes will make the difference

Got the Hypertech max energy today. Still have some adjusting to do, but so far so good.
