EDGE Evolution?
Ok so since all the gauge stuff coming up yesterday I've been studying. I want to get the best bank for the least buck so to speak. I can go with stand alone fuel pressure gauge and EGT (when I need it) I'm guessing fully installed for a bit over 300--that's approximate. If I go with the Edge Evolution (SCT doesn't seem to be as expandable-but maybe it is) I will have tunes (which Im not concerned about just yet--but wouldn't have to buy a tuner later) clean set up for fuel pressure and egt (just the hookups no separate gauges) and backup camera (don't like the cheap one i have now) Seems that this would be the way to go or am I missing out on a piece of the puzzle that I haven't thought about.
Right now I've seen this unit for around 500 bucks. Keep in mind I do have a scangauge and torqpro so this is really just an upgrade with fuel pressure and egt both to add on later. I would like yalls opinion on this--would I be better served by just adding fp gauge and spending that money on something else on the truck. Thanks in advance.

yep--i would initially get the unit then add the fp and egt later.
EGT i won't need anytime soon--but that was my thought. Now the insight is much cheaper but would have to get a tuner later (will need that when I do the egr delete) I'm kinda thinking ahead where I can get this and add on easy--where as gauges-just install and done--but still have to buy the other stuff separate--does that make any sense?

Kinda makes sense--I was just looking at Gearhead and didn't see anything for edge. So that makes that part easier--Evolution is out and would just look at the insight--which changes the equation a little bit but not much.

Plus I like the Dash Pod for this Unit as I hate those stupid Windshield suction-cup Mounts

Yeah if I was going to pay for a tuner I would go with the sct live wire. But if it's out of the price range then you can't. I run an edge juice with attitude cts. With egt and fuel psi. But I only use it as gauges it always stays on stock tune

Now that's a clean set up--I like that. On the programmer--you just use the canned tunes--no custom stuff?

Price seems comparable from what I can tell--but programming isn't at the top of my list--but the fp, egt, and back up camera is--I was thinking that the all in one solution would be the best so I wouldn't have to worry with one or the other later. What I really like on the edge stuff is the EAS. I'm sure the SCT livewire is about the same--but ready up it didn't seem as smooth--maybe thier propaganda isn't as good lol. I just priced the insight with just the fp and it's less than 500 bucks so that'ts not bad (although it's just a monitor) add the egt for another 130 and that's not bad either. I guess now I'm getting hung up on the tuner portion which I don't need right now--but would be handy at a later date.

Yeah i don't know what the live wire is with all the options. I will say that I love the edge and it's set up, is pretty simple almost plug and play to get all the extra pid's. And it's a clean install

Any other pros or cons on an edge set up?
I know as far as tunes there are a few on here that use tunes and aren't studded--I assume they are using gearhead stuff. King b--how are the tunes on the cs?

I have the Tuner, Pod, EAS Starter Kit, EGT Probe but someday I'll get a F.P. Sensor set-up. I also like the fact that I can adjust my Transmission Shift Points & especially Firmness to my taste.
Anyway not trying to convince what is better (I'd love to try a SCT actually) but for like 3 years my Edge has worked great, never hurt the truck & all the while pulling the 5'er all over on the "stock" TTY Bolt's

My truck is NOT studded (never been apart) Yes, I run Edge's canned Tunes & honestly my truck almost always stays on #2 (60 hp Tow). What I like about Edge is their CS Dept (questions or upgrading, very helpful) & everything has always worked flawlessly.

I'm just wanting to get the right thing so I don't have to keep buying stuff and this type of thing seems to fit the bill as far as all in one with easy additions. Im not a big fan of having to engineer layouts on around the dash area either. My truck ix running great so I don't expect any problems anytime soon so I can ease my nerves up a bit and start doing the fun stuff to the truck.
