I don't think you can go wrong with Troyer, Justin, Custom Edge etc...
I went with custom tuned Edge and very happy. My decision was mostly based on dash pod, gauges and ability to see PID's realtime anytime. The tuning was insurance for the possible lean condition with CAI and cool screen program chouces and splash screen (Pics in my album)

Bill who is ASEMECHANIC on this board did my custom tuning on my Edge. Performs much better than the canned Edge. Shifting is better and he corrected for the CAI to eliminate the possible lean issue. Truck pulls better through the powerband. I am still going to get the AF's checked to verify and get Dyno charts. I got a level 3 91 octane performance tune and a level 2 87 octane performance tow tune.
That's how I came up with the names for the tunes. I think they are appropriate for the levels.

I disagree,
I had an Edge in my 2006 F150, and it was horrible.
The driveability was so bad that I had to get rid of it among other problems. I actually just kept it for the gauges but got a custom tuned Xcal2 from VMP Tuning.

I see many post here with 2006 F150 that rave about their edge, then I saw a post that claimed edge blew up the engine and trans...
Go figure.

He works on some pretty exotic projects outside of evolution as well. He is also one heck of a nice guy to deal with.

The way it looks on the dash and the readouts do look nice.
So I guess you arent an Edge fan?

I thought it vin locked. I know you could get ti tuned to anything that you buy in the future... Or is that what you ment....
