edge evolution race tuner

punkrockford · Dec 16, 2012

I have recently come across a pretty good deal on an edge evolution race programmer. After reading up on it, it seems like a pretty good programmer. I can eliminate the dpf and it has a few power level tunes. the part I like the most is because I have a 6.4l it will also read egt's with out having to install a thermocouple in the exhaust manifold. Ford did it from the factory. Is this thing any good or should I keep looking. keep in mind I am not interested in crazy power numbers. I just want to get rid of the dpf so the truck will last longer and the extra power wont hurt but I will never set it on the high hp tunes.????? any advise would be great, thanks guys

I ha e one that i use for extra gauges. The canned tunes suck...especially if you have an auto tranny. There is a power increase, but its not worth it. Only reason I even have it is because it came with the truck, and only reason I am keeping it is beacause of the gauges and code reading. Get something else, h&s, spartan, sct etc...

Stick with what's been proven to work; SCT, Spartan, or H&S. Custom tunes are the ONLY way to go, Spartan of course is not custom I guess you could say but they're proven tunes.

I ran one for 35,000 kms with no issues but after deciding to delete the EGR I had to upgrade. Like I said though it worked great for the whole time I used it. I ran all the tunes and don't have anything bad to say about it.

i think edge may have been pressured by the epa as well. the race stuff is not even on there website anymore. as far as the custom tune deal. if i am not looking for crazy power do i just tell who ever does the custom tune what my truck is set up with and what i am looking for? all i want is 500hp at the wheels and a reliable tow rig and daily driver? what do you guys think is the best way to go about this?

Custom tunes are the only way to go, regardless of what you drive.

yes you can get a tow tune, just tell the tuner what you want

What he said. Custom tunes regardless. I couldn't see buying a 40k+ truck in most cases and running a $200 general programmer on it.

So I guess the custom tune is the way to go, what would be the best route to go. sct h&s or spartan? and how do i go about getting custom tunes?

Any of the big 3 above are a good start. Spartans tunes are custom to the 6.4. Innovative, gearhead, and kem are all great tuners for the other platforms as well.
