Edge Evolution....
What can I say? WOW, talk about unleashing the ponies of the 5.4 3 valve. I opted for just the Edge instead of a Gryphon because I have nothing done to my truck except a K&N drop in filter and there's really no point I could see in having a custom map done for a stock truck. Definitely the best money I've ever spent on my truck and wow can I feel a difference. Kudos to Edge Performance for this one. What a great toy!!! By the way don't tell the wife I called it a toy...

Hey Rider,
Ya the Edge is awesome!!
With the Edge you can increase the pressure of the shift if you want, but you can leave it stock. Personally I tried it and even increasing the shift pressure by 1 unit i found made it shift way to hard. Some may like it, me, nope. With the extra power the you get just from adding the tuner, the shift pressure is hard enough.
However, as for the drop in K&N air filter, did you notice any difference when you installed that?
Id like to do the whole air intake upgarde however I have heard that if you dont combine the air intake with a performance exhaust that the gains are minimal. Basically, more air in means more air out, hence a bigger exhaust. So i thought maybe until i have the cash to do both that I could do just the filter for the time being. What you think?
Thanks

I bought my Edge about a year and a half ago to adjust speedo for the taller tires I'm running. I drive about 100 miles a day on my commute and get a consistent 16-18 mpg in a 4x4 screw with 35" tires. I run on level 2 using 87 octane Shell. I have a K&N drop in that's close to 5 yrs old and a Flow 40 exhaust. The mpg figures are about the same as when the truck was stock so I'm happy. A lot better performance too when towing!

PawPaw,
How are you calculating your mpg figures? you seem to be getting a lot more miles then im getting. my fill up is usually about 20ish gallons and i have yet to get over 450 KM's (280 miles) to a tank. Im running the on level 3 with 33" tires. No CAI or exhaust. I use the 98 octane gas - but im located in the Middle East - i hear that the octane ratings might be different - i just make sure im running the best fuel they got. My driving is probably only abut 50% highway at the most. I also have a remote starter - so i admit i will loose a few mpg's because i let it run a few minutes before i get driving, but still, the difference seems a lot.

I just ordered an edge it should be here this monday. I was wondering though, you said you were getting 16-18 with your 35's..what gears do you have now? I have 4.56's with my 35's but I cant ger a real accurate mpg because of my speedo is off. With the gears and the edge what would you guess ill do for mpg on the hiway?

That's what I had to do was wait on my tax money. I have ran it on all 3 levels and level 2 with 87 octane runs like a scalded dog in my big heavy truck. Shifts are perfect and added low end grunt is amazing. I am gonna switch it back to stock and run my 0-60 times and then back to levels 2 and 3 to see which is best. IMO it's worth every penny of the $360 I paid for mine.

Hey Rider,
Thanks for that. Maybe my terminology of 'bigger' didnt exactly express what I was trying to say, but rather as you said, more 'free flowing' is what I should have said. That would work better with the concept of "more air in, more air out".
As for the octane, i have no idea how to even check or compare how it was calculated or how it ranks with the ratings back in North America!! Any ideas?
Any thought on the MPG?
