I ordered an Edge Evolution for a heck of a deal and it is being delivered today. Curious about input modifications that i should/can make as user. I've read in the past about recommended changes to to canned tunes on the EVO in regards to WOT, shift firmness and a few other features that a user can change without a custom tune from say PHP. Eventually when i can afford it i will get a Gryphon or pay PHP to flash me EVO and get custom tunes. Anyone here have a recommended or tested change they have made to any accessible features, i would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance.
Stock F150 FX4, SCrew, 5.4L, leveled on 33" Toyo MT's, K&N pahel filter, run premium fuel, 3.73 gears (Factory), no additional mods yet. Soon exhaust and intake will be done but will probably be 4-6 months before any other mods are done.

 

In addition to changing the tire circumference, here are the other settings I change on my Evolution:

WOT Fuel= +1.5
WOT Shift= 5250, 5250, 4800
Max RPM= 5650
Max Speed= 110
Shift Pressure= +12,+12, +9

I got these recommendations from one of Jim's (Bluejay's) posts, and they've done pretty well for me for almost 6 months.

 

I installed my Edge EVO last night. I used some recommended settings and i can definately feel the difference. Has not been long enough to compare the mileage yet, only been through a 1/4 tank so far.
I did run the 0-60 test and got 0-60 in 7.16 sec.
Does this sound ok, too high, too low...anyone's opinion would be great.
Truck is 2007 FX4 SCrew, 33" Toyo M/T's with K&N panel filter. Absolutely no mods other than leveling kit and now the EVO.
Adjustments made
used lvl 3 performance
93 oct fuel
WOT +1.6
WOT shift 1-2= 5200 2-3= 5200 3-4= 4800
Rev Limit = 5500
WOT Shift 1-2= +12, 2-3= +12, 3-4= +9
adjusted for tire size (used my GPS to calibrate)
Confirmed 3.73 gearing
Just curious if this is decent, good, and what i might want to try and adjust. Not into it for speed, just playing. I'm more about the power/torque for off roading and mudding, as well as pulling out other trucks. I'm sure i will use lvl 2 for these with some adjustments for the low end and torque since i will not exceed 40-50 mph off-road.

Your numbers look fine, acidsurfr. You MAY find your WOT upshifts "hanging" at times though if you have the gas pedal on the floor. Bill Cohorn at PHP recommends a 400 rpm difference between the WOT shift rpm and the max rpm. You could either increase your max to 5600, or, decrease your 1-2 and 2-3 shift points to 5100. I'd do the latter, actually. You're starting to get a pretty good torque dropoff once you're above 5000 rpm, and I doubt the extra 100 there is doing you a whole lot of good.

I've also found the 3-4 upshift seems to take an even bigger "buffer". I have mine set at about 4600, I think. If 4800 works for you though, leave it there.

Some of these values may be sensitive to the weight of the truck. Since I drive a SCrew, with a 200+ pound bed cap, my experience could be different than yours. I think your horsepower/torque curves might be a bit different in your model year too (a bit more power).

I am going to play around with it. As far as weight, added weight from the aftermarket wheels and tires, also have a bed box containing tools, tow straps and other items, estimated weight of box including contents is about 150-200 lb's, maybe even more. I can definately tell a difference though. Wondering if i could benefit from adjusting the timing or the lock/unlock for the torque converter?
Anyone tried any of these setting and found something that works. Going to leave at the defaults for now.

 

Here is another image of my FX4 before the bed box was added

 

If you're running 93 octane on the canned Evo level 3 tune, you could bump up the timing a bit. I'd start with +0.5 and not go above +1.0. (You can safely increase the timing 0.5 for each increase in octane. Therefore, +1.0 for the increase from 91 to 93.)

 

Thanks, i'll have to experiment with that next.
