Top end power lacking with Edge
Top end power lacking with Edge
OK, so I just recieved my edge in the mail Thurs. night and put it on Fri. My tank was empty so I went ahead and filled up with 93. I tried the tow tune tune first and it had good low and mid power, but above 4,000rpm seemed lacking. I set it level 3 after that and low and mid power seemed better, but again at about 4,000 rpm' s it seemed to lose steam. I did a 0-60 run on it and got a 9.0 sec. Is there a setting that could be tweaked to make it better? I left the timing alone because still had a 1/4 tank of 87 before I filled up.

If I were you, I'd set it back to Level 2, drive the truck till the tank is nearly empty (my low level light comes on when I still have 5 gallons on board), and then fill it with the high octane blend. If you put 93 octane in, you can probably advance the timing by 1 degree in a Level 3 tune, since it is meant to handle 91 octane or better.
