Power... and then some
I've been drooling at the very thought of putting more power to the 2005 I'll be getting in about 2 weeks. I've checked out the edgew/attitude box, and SCMT, I know they aren't updated with the 05 programs yet, but its only a matter of days I'm sure. I've also looked very closely at the Predator, thing is I have the Diablosport chip in my 00 and it runs hot easily. I have the predator in my 02 Mustang and its awesome. I have a heavy right foot and I have already decided on the Motorhaven 4" Turbo back, and I just saw the 6 gun shooter with speed loader from Banks, approved for the 05 programs, and it says it has EGT limiting capabilities.. thats a plus isn't it. a few hundred more than the programmer but in the long run.. not that much. Any input ?? anybody running the 6 gunner.... or EGT running high in the 65 or 100 hp mode.. I figure w/ exhaust, I might as well keep it on as close to high setting as egt will allow.

The guy that dyno'd my truck stated they had a few problems with the attitude but they were being worked out. He stated that the units fail once in awhile and have to be swapped out. Just FYI.
