actually it was 359 from Amazon.com brand new i got it for 284 because i got a 75 dollar gift card from my grandparents but 359 new with no tax and free shipping is not bad either
so technically it was 359 but i only paid 248 for it

You can also get an Evolution for $359 from autoanything.com with free overnight shipping or you can get a Gryphon for $359 plus shipping until 8/31.

Your truck is moving pretty good. The edge is a nice product. I have loved mine also. The main thing I noticed was throttle response is instant now. Stock these trucks are lacking in throttle response.

Autoanything was the original plan but had gotten the gift card and was browsing Amazon to see what i wanted and came across that they had the Edge Evo so i went for it

but an upgrade to the Gryphon will be in the future now that i am working again i can work on getting some E-fans U/D pulleys and a S&B

just outta curiosity what is your 0-60 time with your Gryphon and are you just running canned tunes as of right now?

Yeah I need to get some gears in my truck. 3.55s are ok but these trucks are heavy and need some to get it moving a little better. I would give my shift points but I think I would put some people in cardiac arrest if they knew.

ya these trucks are heavy but being the safest on the road does come at a price

i have 3.73's which helps out a little but i wanna go 4.30's with an auburn pro series limited slip since i am open diff right now

Yes they are very safe. I have seen some of these trucks hit pretty bad but the people walked away with just a few scratches.

I just got the money to do my gears and I am seriously looking at 4.56 and 4.88.

with that kind of gearing your truck will take of like a bat out of hell

ya i read a while back that a guy was in his 05 Screw F150 sitting a red light when a trash truck tried to make a left hand turn to fast flipped and landed right on the guys F150 completely smashing it the pictures would have lead you to believe that whoever was in the truck was killed instantly but the driver after using the jaws of life walked away with some bruised ribs after reading that story a while back i said to myself that is why i drive a FORD F150

Oh yeah, I cant wait.

It makes me feel better knowing the truck is safe for my daughter who rides with me. I had a silverado before I got the f150. I drove a friends f150 and was like the chevy has to go. You could feel just in the ride it was a lot more solid then my chevy at the time.
