Need help with performance chip

[BakerEdition]

Matt, Thats what I have been averaging...no keep in mind I also am a very easy driver with it as well...no rabbit starts...I have my Edge set for level 3 performance and have made adjustments to the timing and a few other items through the edge....I use 93 octane gas...cost about 9.00 more per tank but I go a extra 50 to 65 miles...so if you do the math...the 9.00 is worth it. I get between 22 and 23 highway with the cruise set at 75 mph....I have ordered a adjustable fuel regulator to increase my fuel pressure...yes the computer will adjust for it during regular driving, but when I hit the throttle it will give me the extra pressure and fuel it will need to perform even better...I want to change out my exhaust but almost am afraid to because of the fuel mileage...When I got this thing I would only get 35 to 40 miles to the first 1/4 tank being full...now just as of today, we drove into Nashville and had dinner at Jimmy Buffets restaurant and I got 115 miles to the that 1/4...so it does work...don't know what else I can tell you...ask if you have anything else.

thanks Baker. I have my moments but I'm usually pretty easy on it so that i can try and get as good mileage i can. Hopefuly i can get my hands on one soon, then ill be asking more about your tune and what not.

No problem....thats what were here for!

SO I have a question does the edge programmer have the option built into it to run dual exhaust/Headers? ive been told that I need to reprogram my computer once I putthem on to take advantage of them. So im thinking of having a custom tune done by a local shop, that way they aren't using "generic" setting. but if the edge programmer can do it I may pick one up

I got the CS and I'm still trying to find the best settings for fuel economy, because I really haven't seen any improvement. I have it set on level 2 and I changed the shift firmness to 15% but that is about all I've messed with.

No option that I am aware of....you may want to call Mark Haywood at Edge products and ask directly....the only thing i see wrong with a custom tune is your stuck with it....you cant change anything or tweak anything...the edge allows you to adjust different parameters.

Let me know if you want some help with this...mine has already paid for itself in fuel savings and really jumped my performance...you can but that shift firmness up to 25% and will no problem....Let me know what year you have and I can provide you the setting mine is using...

ok getting mine today waiting on another call back from mark heres the deal if you get a edge before jan 5th you get a free pod but you have to buy from them or preferred vendor like autoanything.com call mark he is awesome but dont tie up his phone line yet i need to place my order lol. i was highly debating on a cts but i dont like how they mount for our trucks they use the cs mount with an adapter he said straight on it looks ok but from a side view he said it looks like a flat panel tv mounted on a wall it sticks a little ways out of the mounting pod. im ordering through mark because its instant rebate that way he will just ship the pod with it for free otherwise you gotta download a form fill it out with your receipt from a preffered vendor and mail in he said they process within 2 days and ship quick but i would rather just get it all at once. he also said that anyone can get the free updates you just register on their website if you need help call this guy. he knows his stuff and is very nice to deal with. we discussed options between cs cts and other vehicle programmer options for about an hour. thanks baker for referring him and he said damn your doing a good job promoting i also suggested that they get a rep to become a preffered vendoe for the site...or use baker lol. baker i may need your number when this thing comes in im shootin for those highway mpgs

Thanks Baker.

Mine is a 2000 XLT with the 5.4L. Any tips would of course be very welcome!

 

[2000eb]

wint... i dont recall if you already said what kind of mpgs are you getting now

 

[Wint]

I'm seeing 10.5 to 12 in the city 2000eb, both pre and post Edge CS.

 

[2000eb]

so your milage didnt go up? what octane fuel are you running?

 

[2000eb]

its official i can be apart of the edge club now i cant wait mark said either thursday or friday it should be here... im gonna run around town playin with it then when empty fill up with 91 octane and drive to aunts house christmas evening ill see what kinda milage i get. baker can you pm me your settings or would it be easier over phone... not really shure how much you messed with all the settings

 

[Blueoval76]

Hmmmm... I am debating on the Edge CS and if the mileage is true I would jump but Im still not too sure after Wint's post. I currently have the SuperChips tuner and ran the 91 tune with 93 gas. I got 10mpg with it so I stepped to the 87 tune and 87 gas and now get maybe a half to 1mpg more. So would the Edge make the same difference or be any better?

 

[BakerEdition]

Im tellin you guys you will be really happy with the product...if any of you need help with programming let me know...Like I said before im not a pro here but have had mine long enough that it has paid for itself and also you have to drive for economy as well...I have mine set at power level 3 all the time with timing and shift points the way I like them and its great.....glad i could help you guys and I knew if you talked to mark you would know this is the way to go...

Wint get with me and lets talk about your settings...I can help you with this..

Sure, do you want me to send you a PM or something? If you want to just let me know what settings you are running at I can update mine to give it a go. I'll even spring for the higher octane fuel if you think it will help.
