Unless you feel like changesare needed to your settings leave em alone.
But at the same time make sure you have the right tire size input, and that your on lvl3.
And if you really feel the need to to have your settings adjusted it would be better to upgrade your edge to a gryphon and have custom tunes created.

On level 3, the canned program is set for 91 octane. I would bump the timing +2, to take advantage of the higher octane you are using.

I would do a + 9 on the shift pressure and see how you like it. I always ran +12 except except on the 3-4 shift. +9 is as high as I would reccomend for it. If that is firmer than you like, drop back to a +6. I like firm shifts.

Do a +1.5 on WOT Fuel,

WOT shift points, I like 5250 for the first 2 and 4800 for the 3-4.

Max RPMS 5650 and max speed 110.

Normal shifts, I would not change.

As previously stated, change your tire settings and change the gear ratio if the default is not what your truck has.

BTW, if you do not have a manual, go to Edge's website and download a copy.

bluejay, just out of curiosity, why do you suggest the speed limiter at 110? will it hurt the engine to remove it or would it help to set it lower?

Because I have come real close to the stock speed limiter of about 95 on several occasions. I wanted to bump it up and I doubt I would ever want to go faster than 110, so that is where I set it. I just dont want the limiter telling me I can't go faster if I ever needed/wanted to.

I think most on here would call it common sense. Why do you need to do 110 in a truck? I have my limiter at 130 though and only had enough ***** to do 112.

I don't think I want to go over 80 on these Falken tires. Not impressed with them at all. They came with the wheels. I'm used to Michelins and would trust those to 130 for short runs.

Glad you got it set. It is amazing what Ford left on the table with these trucks. A tuner makes them so much more fun to drive.

And you still have your license? In GA, if you are caught going over 100 MPH, you go to jail for 24 hours and you loose your drivers license for 6 months. That's what happened to my friend and now I make $50 a week off of him to take him back and forth to the campus, when it fits my schedule.
