Do you have gauges? If you don't leave it in the lowest setting until you get an EGT gauge.

Didn't notice much of a diff with the other settings but I didn't ride with them too much because I don't have the EGTG. I was told by someone else who has a edge evo and a EGTG that without pulling any wight you can use the higher settings without a problem but I would like to play it safe till I get the EGTG. If you decide to take it for a short ride at a higher setting let me know how it goes like I said I didn't get much out of the higher settings. Good luck and welcome to FTE.

Latter...........

I have been happy with mine. I first bought a Superchips but it would not load in my truck for some reason.

On my 3 position setting I leave it on the middle setting all the time and we tow pretty near every day.
I put it back on stock when I was having some problems with my truck and I missed it.
Its a whole diffrent truck when its got the Edge in it.

nope, they are still destroying computers every now and then. i put my truck on the dyno with my edge in extreme last weekend and here is all i have to say... GET A DP-TUNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i only made 204hp and 369 lb ft of torque with the edge. thats a total of maybe 25- 30 hp difference. stock is 215hp at the flywheel then take away for the driveline so maybe 170hp at the wheels.. and i made 204 at the wheels..... not very impressed at all, in fact i was more bummed than anything about it since i made the least hp from anyone in our group, but i know it's about to be a whole different story with my stage 1's!!!!! hahahahahahahaha

Are you going to have the evo when you get the stage ones? I am going to get stage 1's or 2's and I would like to know how they work with the evo. Would you be able to put it on the dyno when you get it done?
