will I notice a difference?

OK boys, my truck is paid off and out of warranty. It has 150k mostly highway miles on it. These tuners r intriguing, however if I spend the money, I want to be able to notice a difference. For instance, when the truck was new I paid $350 for a K&N cold air kit. Looked cool, but all it did was make it louder. No noticeable hp gain or mpg's. So I took it off and sent it back.

Definately

I'm surprised you've waited this long. Ive had my Edge on my 05 for over 60k miles now. I couldnt believe how much of an improvement it made on my truck. Its Much more responsive, and the added gauges are great for keeping an eye on the important stuff. Plus it can be helpful as a diagnostic tool. I wouldnt want to be without it.

If I hadnt driven a truck with a tuner before I bought mine, I probably would have bought another vehicle.

I love my edge with canned tunes. You wouldnt be disappointed.

A good canned tune wakes these engines up and a good custom tune is even better. The shifting is far better as well.

If I'd would have known what difference it would make, i would have bought the tuner when I bought the truck instead of waiting.

edge with a cai can make your truck run more lean.....

If you're stuck on edge then get a Gryphon from PHP with custom tunes....
