Hypertech Max Energy, my uncle bought one for his truck and he really likes it.

 

The two most discused tuners on this site are the Xcal2 and the edge evo. Both have ups and downs.

THe edge is a canned tuner and will see gains but not as much as the Xcal2. Wil lyo ube able to notice it driving? I dont think by much. The edge also comes with guages that mount on your dash.

The edge you can have at your door step in a day if you spend some time looking.

The Xcal2 is going to be a bit better if you are planning on doing anything major to the eninge. IE heads, cams, or anything else big.

THe edge will not work with these upgrades.

Last and probally the biggest problem is that the Xcal2 has about an 8 week wait becuase they are costum tunes. And last i heard TP was not taking applications for one.

I have an edge and i love it. I havn't heard anything bad about the programing from anyone on here. It is solid and will render gains.

 

i do believe this tuner will work 4 ur truck:

and im sure u'd b happey w/ it

 

everyone says get a V8 they have more power but you have one and cant even do a burn out

its all about power control, 5spd V6

 

I agree. I have the 5spd 4.6 and i wouldn't give up my stick for any auto any day. I can lay them flat for 40-50 feet.

 

r u kidding me... no way man... not knock the 5spd v6 but i have never come a cross a v6 that can throw more more tha my v8... but im sure theres one or two out there w major mods that will... mine is an auto but and i love it as an everyday truck... but as a weekend play id diff go w/ a 5spd

 

Sure.... I bet. Lets go off roading and see how pulls who out... .Well maybe i shouldn't use that as an example.

 

no u prolly go me there... hell im the guy that got stuck in his front yard... i live n a Subdivision...


but i was just talkin bout smokin tha tires

 

I would have a lot of people there. YOu dont need lots of power and big tires to do most offroading. Its all about how you approach it. Smarts is the key there. I have had trucks places people couldn't imagine them being. I grew up in MOntana and learning how to drive offroad was just one of the famly trades.

Did you end up getting those rotors?

I was taking a look at mine today and was curios. 8 months and still no rust at all. LOL

 

yea c offroadin smarts i dont have a lot of... i live n asmall town where tha cops like to arrest u 4 EVERY lil thing... it sux

naw i aint got em yet... i doubt i get em this go round... im movin this friday so all my moneys tied up right now... but i will b watchin for em agian thats for sure!!

 

Cops and little towns dont mix. You get cuaght for every little thing. BUT the punishment is usually smaller than big city crime LOL

I can niether confirm nor deny about getting off a lot in a little town.

 

tha only thing thatll kill u n a small is a speedin ticket! 42 in a 35... $380... they gotta make that quota... although i did get a 96 in a 25 dropped... dont really no how tho

 

WOW thats expensive. When i was in washington i got on for 77 in a 70 and that was 130. Back in MT i got 87 in a 45 and htat was $45 and its not on there. every ticket i ever got was under $60.

 

$60 is a seatbelt ticket round here... i just got a careless and wreckless ticket bout 2 weeks ago... thats gonna b somewhere between $800-$1200... they dont play around down here
