? Intake - exhaust - tuner ?

I figured I go with an outlaw power CAI, an Edge evolution tuner and true duals with the magnaflow DI/DO 14386 (basically an X pipe built into a muffler). Rather than do it one at a time, I figured I'd just save up enough to do them all at once.

I was hoping for feedback as I've read a few threads that lead me to believe that the Edge could make my truck run lean when used in conjunction with a CAI and duals. Is this true?

If your combo of mods requires a correction to the MAF transfer function (as can be potentially caused by the Outlaw on YOUR particular truck) the Edge cannot correct for it.

Needs to be measured to know for certain. No way around that - cannot be assumed/guessed.

Very unlikely the exhaust iss cause for concern, though. You are good to go there.

Thanks for the reply MGDfan, so does that mean I need a different tuner or a different CAI? (or just either or?)

It depends on how much the CAI actually flows over stock.As MGDfan said the Edge can't correct for a lean condition except at WOT.I tried the same thing on my 00,5.4 and it didn't work well using the AF1 and edge combo.I ended up having to take the edge off and run the stock tune to correct.I guess if you bought a CAI that flows less it possibly wouldn't hurt it but whats the point of that.Best bet is talk to troyer about an Xcal2 or just do your exhaust and not do anymore mods.
