Edge shudder totally gone (new calibration)!

I loaded the new calibration 23. The shudder on light throttle is totally gone at any speed . I did not check if the shudder is gone with cruise yet. This tune is working fine for me.

This was noted on the calibration :

Addressed corrupted data found in the following calibration families...
OKAQ3
OKAQ5
RXCM3
RXCM5

I wonder what was effected? Maybe the cause of the shudder issue?!

Question for you guys....I just got my Edge with a build date of 11-8-06. Should I go ahead and update the software before I use it the first time, or should I just put it in as-delivered?

Thanks!

I need to get mine updated. Is it just plug and play into my computer? I gotta be honest, I have not read the manually fully yet.

Silverfish, how high in altitude? 5800 ft here, can't even get 93 octane here, been running level 2 with 85 octane no problems, occaisonnaly run level 3 with 88 octane with no problems also. The guys at Edge told me the higher in elevation the less octane you need to feed it.

Read this from Bill at Edge:

Roughly 1 degree per 2 octane.

Level 3 (basically 91 octane tune) running 93 = +1 deg.
Level 2 (basically 87 octane tune) running 93 = +3 deg.

Level 3 running 100/101 = +5 deg. (This is for the rich guys!)

These are ideal values at sea level. At altitude, you should be able to add another degree per 2500 ft.

5000 ft. = +2 deg.

Just so you know, I can run level 3, +3 deg at 4500 ft with 91 octane. 4 to 4.5 degrees gets me a nice rattle on heavy throttle tip-in (low RPM throttle stomp) but actually drives quite nicely on the highway giving me another +.25 to +.5 MPG at 70 MPH versus +3 degrees timing.

I hope this helps a little.

Bill

His unit is dated 11-8-06? Didn't the latest update just get posted in the last couple days? I haven't downloaded it yet, but I read here that there is a calibration version 23.............I updated to version 21 a couple of weeks ago? The Lightning program is also a newer version.

Actually, I just checked.........they have a Calibration Version 24 posted 12-13-06.
