Question for those of you with Troyer Tunes!

Then again I ran 93 right off the bat. Never had the Edge but ThumperMX113 had a good dyno comparison of his Edge vs his VMP dyno tunes and low and midrange was the biggest weakness of the Edge (I should say advantage of the custom tune). My Troyer dyno looked much the same with fat numbers below the curve so I am suprised to hear that. Hopefully it impresses you more with 93 or maybe cycles so you felt like it was money well spent. Are you running the same intake?
When I had my Edge I ran level 3 all the time. The only time I switched to 2 when was I was going to tow something.
Now that I have my Troyer I run 93 performance tune all the time. Again, only will switch when I want to tow. I only ordered 93 tunes on the Xcal as I don't plan on running anything less than 93 again.

I wasn't as impressed with the 92 tune as I was when I first installed the 87 tune. Maybe something to do with installing the new gears at the same time or simply I have just gotten used to the custom tuning so I don't experience that "wow" factor that I did initially.
I just topped off my tank also, so I will see how the fuel mileage turns out. Im sure I will try the 93 tune soon but at almost $4.00 a gallon I dont think I will be using it exclusively. Also did notice the exhaust was a little louder which was nice because I think the si/so maggie is to quiet.

ouch and I thought I had it bad with high gas prices! Untill last week I was getting 93 for around $3.00. Now its running me $3.33. Its not that bad since I mainly drive it on the weekends so it lasts me a while.
I just had a custom tune done on my edge. At first I was skeptical because it didnt seem aggressive on the shift points. However just because it doesnt hit hard doesnt mean its not really getting up to speed really fast!! I mean I was doing about 20mph and just stepped on it and was hitting 90mph just like that! I was like damn it was so much smoother shifting you cant tell your going that fast and the truck really moves.
So I think or hoping Hector your Troyer tune will do the same. I think your like me missing the hard shift points making it feel it has that much more power. When it has the same power if not more just shifting smoother with the custom tune and probably better on the transmission.
The good thing is I can always go by to my regular Edge tune If i want to or switch back and forth by changing levels or compare the changes. Plus add the Edge user setting to the custom tune! Its only been 2 days so need to run it a few more weeks before a full review so keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope all this made since and keep us updated 05supercrew!! Good Luck!!!.

I have a feeling we will see some great things come from Bills tunes.
I need to change a lot of things I said,This tune is sweet. I was driving my truck like I was breaking it in. Mid rang is a lot better then stated before. I also never mentioned the Troyer tune and the S&B is exellent, no drone at 1800 rpm and you can here the intake and the exhaust together and it sounds good. Throttle response is exellent. Have to watch speed because I came up on traffic pretty quick with out realising my speed. Less effort on the throttle to move the truck.
As for the Edge I wont put it down, for a canned tune the unit is exellent. When I bought it I had no plans on modding my truck but things changed. The guages are great and still after 9 weeks still very muched are missed. It sucks that I had a lean condition and that dreaded drone from the S&B. I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of good things come from the Edge and a Bill tune.
