They aren't the greatest power adders... You could do much better with a Custom tuned chip.

Why? With stock injectors, there isn't any one of the "custom tuners" that can get more than 60-70 extra HP out of a stock 95-97 Powerstroke anyway.

The Evolution is fine. It may shift a little firm (if you have an automatic), but there won't be any additional power gains from any one of anybody's beloved "custom tuners".

The Evo is fine. I'm saying there are better options.

The 95-97 truck power levels are 30,50, and 80.


I wouldn't worry at all about the mileage on the truck. Run it!!

I'm leery on the use of the Edge Evolution. We have seen quite a few guys that end up with PCM issues from using the Edge Evo and usually have to go to the dealer to get it reflashed or install a new PCM to fix the issue. Just know that there have been PCM issues spurred from the Evo.. Not a crazy amount of them, but some.

Cody, I realize that PHP has been around many Evo programmers, just stating the experiences I've seen on this forum.

Also, before you start towing with a chip on your truck, I would recommend getting a set of guages to monitor temps. Most of us run a boost guage, EGT guage(exhaust gas temp), and for auto transmissions, a trans temp guage. The boost guage is not really neccessary, but the EGT and trans temp is. If you have a manual trans, all you need is the EGT guage.
