The wait offically begins now
No, Im getting custom tunes...I placed my order yesterday and I actualy faxed out my sheets last night when they left the shop, so they official got them first today.
They shipped out the Xcal 3 and AF1 3" today. It will be nice to fart around with the canned tunes and intake until the custom tunes are ready to load via email.

Got it today, it took 9 weeks to get. So looks like their still on the 8-10 week lead time.
Had to call Crystal because my papers had the tow tune for the wrong octane. After checking it with my pc it shows it right, typo I guess.
I loaded 93 performance when I opened it. What I can tell so far is under very light throttle from a stop the tune is very mellow almost like stock tunning. Get the pedal down between 1/4 to 1/2 and you can feel the difference. Anything past 1/2 throttle gets the truck moving very well.
The tune feels nice and safe for the truck.
I don't know yet if it will spin tires like with the Edge or if it will cause my belt to chip at WOT shifts. I'm gonna have to drive my truck a few days to get a good feel for the tune. So far it seems ok, it doesn't seem like theres any power difference between it with the Edge...but it does seem to drive better and I can actually run a 93 tune without the shudder situation.

Your not the first person to say that.
Im sure im like a majority of you guys with a cold air intake as a mod and the rest of the engine pretty much stock. When i talked to Mike he said the edge made about 12rwhp gains and with his tune you would make between 20 to 25 i think. A little bit of a difference but he said some peeps feel the difference and some don't over the edge. I hope i feel the difference as it would be a shame to only feel what you/i had with the edge. I think i would be disappointed personally. I no you can only get so much power out of the engine with certain grades of fuel, but i would expect more considering its a custom tune after all.Thats why im running my truck on stock and not on level 2 with my edge (which sucks by the way.)because i want that wow factor i got with the edge when i load Mikes tunes for the first time.

Yep! Even though I still have my Edge (for gauges only now) I set it back to stock over 1 month ago. I wanted to wean (sp?) myself off of the Edge so that I can appreciate my new tunes when they arrive. Anyway, I'm sure I will love it when it comes. Just the fact that I won't be running lean anymore will be a big plus!
