Bill you gave a 'Classic' discription that everyone should read.
These boards are mostly populated by people who have little knowledge about the technical mechanics and overall workings and go mostly with hear say and wannabe hope for power and fuel mileage.
Trying to make a 5 to 6000 lbs truck into a light weight sports car for expected performance, either forgets this or don't take it into acount.

I agree, That was a great write up. I have been toying with the idea of an Edge for a while now just so i can play with the shift points and firmness to change the feeling a little and with thread this you just sold me on it. Thank you OP for getting it started.

See what happens when you ask a simple question? Sometimes you get a ridiculously long answer. Haa haa haa! 
Even though the post was mildly technical in nature, I hope it made sense to everyone. I read through it again today and think it still makes as much sense as it did when I wrote. Sometimes when I write stuff like that, it makes sense when I write it and then I look at it later and ask myself, "What the heck was I thinking??"
As usual, I suffer from that condition where my brain-to-keyboard filter (very similar to the brain-to-mouth filter) doesn't always work! I just try to keep those incidents to a minimum.
Have a great weekend.

Anyone considering a tuner would do well to read posts #14 and #15 before reading any others. I second the STICKY nomination. This info shouldn't stay buried in this thread and you'd have to stumble upon it with a search.
