Well it finally arrived today.
Installation took all of about 10 minutes, the truck started no problem. The first thing I noticed is that it idles slower than stock. The throttle certainly seems more responsive on LV2 with a tank of 89 octane but I am not sure that I notice a bunch more power. The gauge displays are the best part in my opinion so far. I understand that I may notice a bigger gain as days go on so I will reserve final judgement but I am impressed so far.
The only other thing I need to decide is if I want to put my K&N drop in back. Not sure right now, I want to see if my ping improves with the Edge installed.

Ok, little update. I decided to update the unit with the latest tunes. Level 2 = WOW! This is what I was expecting, more power for sure, great throttle response and better shifting. Now it feels like money well spent.

Be aware that baseline octane for Level 3 is 91, though, so you'd need 93+ octane in your tank before advancing the timing.
