You can lead 'em to water but....? Do you sometimes feel like you're at tree falling in the woods, with no one around to hear?

That is correct. The Edge Evo and the Gryphon have monitors that you can mount on the dash and you can monitor up to 4 items at a time. Oil temp, tranny temp, voltage, ect. It also contains up to 3 tunes that may be downloaded into your truck's computer.

The Ecal3 is a different type hardware that also contains programs for the computer, but has no monitor. Once you do a download, you remove it from the truck.

A lot. What is the difference in a 1972 Datsun and a 2008 King Ranch F-150?

One more time, don't consider anything except an Edge Evo if canned tunes are all you want, or if you want custom tunes, the Gryphon or the Xcal3.

You can data log many more parameters than the EE/PHP if you left it in. And you have the option of hooking up a laptop for near unlimited data log capabilities.

I don't think so for this kid. I think he just needs basic help.

That website is down at the moment... don't know why.
Try www.PowerHungryPerformance.com if the first one doesn't work.
