FUEL BOX/ Micro Programmer
Does anyone know the differance between the tuning on them. I understand how they work and what they do but all the peramiters that are controled i have no idea. I have both the edge and the predator. The edge by far gives more hp and tq and it also changes the tone of the exhaust. When its on the highest setting it gets deep and loud. With the Predator I dont see any change in the exhaust sound.
Do they some how control the valves and have them open up more or is it just the huge fuel amounts making it sound different.

PSD - sounds like your back up to speed. I'm going to get the Edge/Attitude this week. The new version 1.63 is supposed to shift much better, is that the one you are running? Does the Edge improve mileage like the tuners(if you can keep your foot out of it)? Whats your gereral impression of the Edge. Thanks, good to see ya back running.

I can't really say about mileage, as I only have 900 miles on the new motor, and haven't driven it on the highway any, only in town traffic.
IMO the Edge is stronger overall than both the tuners, and the adjustable low boost fuel settings and the built-in gauges are great. I got the whole setup for 725 dollars. By the time you buy a tuner, a set of gauges, and a gauge pod, you will definately be over 725 bucks. For plain out power and versatility go with the Edge. The only downside is that its not quite as "smooth".

PSD do you notice the sound difference in setting 5? Also with the new version 1.63 i like and dont like the defuel on shifts. It helps under normal conditions but with the way that all that have responded to this post, BOB, JR and PSD drive this will only hurt us. It takes about 2 to 3 seconds(that what it feels like) to defuel and refuel. Thats alot of time lost in a race that you always want to win!

Sounds like the shifting is still a little harsh on the 1.63. Is it really too harsh or is it just firmer and liveable. I'm not a racer, just a daily driver that tows a boat and likes to hammer on it ever now and then and don't want head snapping shifts. Thoughts?
