My Edge Juice w/ Attitude Experience Plz tell me there is WAY better stuff out there!

Okay my buddy bought a Edge juice with attitude, said they were on sale shipped he paid around 640(I tried to tell him about custom tunes did not listen). He let me put the edge on my truck today, I am wanting a DP or TW chip but I wanted to see what the edge felt like. I was very very disappointed with the power in extreme mode it was not at all what i was expecting and the EGT went to nearly 1400 degrees. I think my truck has more power taking off with the ICP resistor mod.

My question is, are the custom tunes that much better than the edge. I mean if they are a little better it would not even be worth my time buying one. The edge was that crappy, the custom tunes better be 100X better if I'm going to spend nearly 500 bucks on one.

No custom tuning is WAY better. TW and/or DP are both very good, you should get ahold of Power Hungry Performance though. Bill has been around the block and knows his stuff. And the prices are spectacular.

Also I am getting around 17-18 psi of boost stock I was getting around 24-25 with the edge. The thing that worried me was the EGT even on my buddies truck it hits 1300-1400. I just put up pipe gasket in my truck about 2500 miles ago then just put a tranny in it about a week and they look good no leaks.

What are some EGT numbers from people with custom tunes in extreme mode say accelerating from 0 - 90.

I just put my DP tuner in today, and I was running super chips before, and Holy S--t what a difference, my 80 economy tune blows the superchips outa the water and I thought the SC was good when i got it, go custom tunes!!

custom tunes will be about 100 times better.. i had a EDGE evo on for 1 day that i borrowed from a friend just to tryn and its extreme tune was like the daily tune on my tw chip.. as far as egts go i didnt have guages at the time i tried the edge, but ive had them since i got my tw. and even at WOT and beating on it hard my egts never go over 900.. granted its a post turbo egt.. but i figure thats about 1300 or so -turbo. and thats only when im really hard on it.

yea.. it shifts way better, and power off the line is about the same, and better fuel mileage in the daily tune compared to extreme tune on the edge.. i was amazed when i got my custom tunes.. you definately cant go wrong.. ill never look at another edge product them same again.. haha
