third in line...

 

alright... thats it... no more pics, monkeyboy had to ruin it for everyone.

 

Don't forget Racerchic68. She is out there too.

 

It's about time they are coming out with one for the gas peeps! It's too bad that you can't switch programs on-the-fly though. It's still kickas! I'll be on the group-purchase list .

 

alright... here are some pics, the pics suck because it is pitch black outside here and my camera wouldnt focus.

here is one when it is powered off (he hasnt given me the pod yet so it is just sitting on the dash, i should be getting the pod tomorrow then i will take more pics when it is light outside so i can get good pics.)


here is one with the engine on. i have rpm's in the top left, engine temp in the top right, oil temp bottom left, and transmission fluid temp bottom right. it clearly labels them, but the picture is just blurry.


here is a side view


and here is underneath, i like this design because the cord comes out at a 90% angle, rather than just coming straight out like the other programmers out there.you cannot even see the cord unless you look under.


if you guys have any more questions or anything just let me know. I was playing around with a lot of the features more today and it has a ton of features you can change. tire size, gear ratio, fuel octane, shift firmness, shift line pressure, wot fuel %, and lots more. its really a great product.

 

that looks pretty sleek- do you know the tire size limitations on it?

 

when do they think it will be ready to sell, month, year, what are we talking here..also, 400-500 hspr, i might be wrong, but i didnt think that was possible on gassers, but i would like to know if you have felt a diffrence with it on the most powerfull setting.?

 

the 400-500 was for price, not horsepower. it feels a helluva lot faster sotp on the highest setting though.

 

if that sucker would lay 50 hrsp down for my truck, its in the bag...

 

Tire Size
The Evolution has the ability to change the tire size on your truck’s PCM. If you have changed your tires to a different size, the PCM will miscalculate certain readings. Giving the PCM the correct tire size will allow your truck to accurately calculate engine speed and odometer readings. In order for this option to be used on your vehicle, you must have a digital odometer. You will not need to change the value displayed if you have never changed the sizes of your tires. This option is brought up while you reprogram your truck to a new level. After you choose to set your tire size, the follow screen appears:

The numbers on this screen represent the circumference (mm) of your tire size. The default tire size for your specific truck will be displayed. Adjust the tire size by pressing the up/down arrow keys. The table below will help you determine your wheel circumference by matching your tire size with the sizes listed. Or you can figure the circumference by using the equation given under the Tires Size Table. For example, if your tire size is 285/ 65-18, the value (circumference) you enter into the Evolution is 2600. Another alternative is to measure your tire’s circumference by marking your tire and rolling it one complete revolution and measuring the distance in inches or millimeters. If measured in inches, you will need to multiply the inches by 25.4 (i.e., 91.3 inches x 25.4 = 2319 mm). The range of change is from 2000mm to 3500mm in increments of 1mm.

it says that 38's are 3031mm, and it goes up to 3500mm, so my guess is it will allow you to go to about 44's

 

great, thanks smeezy- would love to hear more info as it becomes avail! what programs are on your beta version? (ford reprogrammed my pcm to my new tires, but its still off, the pcm cannot adjust very much over stock...im rolling 33's and they have me at about 32.5", maxed out)

 

Transmission Only Program
This setting is the lowest level setting. It will provide firmer transmission shifts which helps to increase the transmission life. It will not provide any additional engine performance increases and is designed to run with 85 to 87 octane fuel.
Tow Performance Program (87+ octane fuel)
This setting not only provides better transmission shifting, but will also modify the ignition timing and fuel injection strategies to improve the performance of your truck. This level is designed to run with 87 octane fuel although you may realize additional benefits by running 89 octane (or better) fuel. You should see fuel economy improvement as well as added horsepower and torque. When towing a heavy load, we recommend you using this setting.
High Performance Program (91+ octane fuel)
This is the highest setting for the Evolution. The fuel injection and ignition timing strategies are aggressively tuned to extract the maximum performance from your vehicle without sacrificing drivability or durability. The transmission strategy is modified to take advantage of the increased engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts. Due to the high performance nature of this setting, you will be required to run 91 octane (or better) fuel. You should see a greater increase in horsepower from the Towing Program along with additional fuel economy improvement.

but you can set your octane level to whatever you want on any program, right now i am running the high performance program with 87 octane. it runs strong and smooth.

 

Keep it coming, im checkin every 5 min to see if you posted again, great job

By the way, have you tried to spin your tires with the chip yet.?

 

hell ya, i punched it from a stop and spun 'em pretty good. i love this truck so much more now! it totally woke it up

 

I seen this thread this moring so I emailed EDGE. They said:

THIS IS WHAT RETAIL IS $489.00 I KNOW THEY ARE CLOSE TO SHIPPING OUT BUT I
DO NOT HAVE A FOR SURE DATE. IT IS GOING TO BE JUST LIKE THE Attitude
Monitor FOR THE DIESEL IT WILL COM WITH A POD TO MOUNT IT TO YOUR DASH.

THANKS STEVE



Hope this helps answer some more questions.
