I need help with a tuner...completely clueless

Hey guys,
I'm suppose to be getting a new tuner for christmas. Now all I have to do it pick one out. I have no idea what to get. I have heard good things about the Xcal 2 and the Edge. My truck has a 4.6 and I'm running an AF1. Can I run canned tunes while I'm waiting for custom tunes? I would like to buy from Troyer since that is where I got my AF1 and was really pleased with them. Also I see people talking about sending in their sheets... just wondering what that was? and what I needed to do to get custom tunes.

You can do a search and do a lot of reading, but your best bet at this point would be to call Troyer and just go with what they advise.

I have a custom performance tune on my Edge, from Bill, designed to accommodate my Af1 and magnaflow ..thank you very much!
I love it and my truck ripppps!!

Bill is still somewhat tied to Edge. Employed? I don't know that extent.
If anyone is authorized (is authorization needed?) or competent enough to custom tune the Ford Edge its Bill! Just mho

While I am not at liberty to discuss any arrangements with Edge, I can tell you than I am not employed by them. Let's leave it at that.

Bill.
