edge help :help:

i am running level two with the timing and WOT fuel up (im running 93) and WOT shift points adjusted, i am getting 12mpg. i put it on level three and i am getting 14.5 with the WOT up and shift points/firmness. i was hoping for a tune combo out there that will give me better gas mileage. i drive a 98 with a 4.6, im also noticing level three is running better for me now, but i would like to know a good tune for level two and three because i tow frequently in the winter. and three for when i drive highway. any help would be appreciated.

Running LVL3 is not costing you anymore than running LVL2. Say you have a 20gallon tank, (87octane) 20gal@$3.00=$60.00 20gal x 12MPG=240miles (93octane) 20gal@$3.20=$64.00 20gal x 14.5mpg=290miles

In reality you are paying $4.00 to travel 40+miles. Keep running the good stuff man!!!

Try running it with no custom options with the minimum octane required for that tune. Normally they get better MPG with the edge. Yours must be in pretty good mechanical condition or you would not get 17 MPG. I don't know if you will be able to get any better than that?

I love my exhaust. I have gone through many systems and this is the only one i am completely happy with. More power all the way through the power band and sounds awesome. I get compliments all the time on the sound. I need to make a soundclip!!

Cool

Oh and if you click my mufflers in my gallery the part## should be listed.
If you do a little tweaking you may get more. Which level are you currently running??
