Edge Attitude + SCT Superchip Combo

Anyone using this combo together with both working (Edge not on stock) and what kind of luck/performace have you had?

I'm thinking about buying the SCT to use with my Edge for decreased tranny-wear.

Thanks

Stacking is NOT suggested……I just need to say that up front.

I have the SCT stacked and its safe. Its a custom written tune to run with the Edge. Its not a hack stack.

Check your PM's.

Why Tim? I just want to make an informed decision. I'm browsing the SCT thread...but it's huge and I'm not sure if I'll even see it in there.

you do not want to use 2 items that are tryingto manipulate the same parameter,or it could go to much in an undesired direction,however that being said ,if you are happy with the adjustability of the edge the sct custom tranny tune is a very good product.it is similar to the scmt max hp tune but the engine part of it has had the performance side modified so it wont interfere adversely with the edge,the tranny side is modified as well,shift points have to be lowered .i have tried this exact combo and it is a very smooth setup.

I have no problem with finding out information, it is well known that NO manufacture suggest stacking....You do not see it in the SCMT thread becasue of the dangers involved for the poor-o-motor . .. ...No matter keep typing …fun to read this stuff

Rad the manual from the SCMT it says:

......Other electronic performance enhancing equipment must also be
removed from the vehicle......
It also mentions other programmer programs.

He is referring to the SCT not the SCMT or Predator, etc. He is just trying the tranny tune.

I agree with Tim. Stacking has caused several of my friends issues with trannies and turbos.

Basically...everyone who I've talked to about stacking the SCT and Edge says it's improved performace and shifting. I think the SCT will actually flash the computer to better the shift patterns. The Edge does nothing for the transmission, except defuel itself at shift to ease the strain and allow it to lock better...is my understanding of it. The computer in the truck has shift patterns set up for the stock truck...and the SCT will change that to a custom tune to work with the Edge. Seems like a good idea and nothing but positive feedback on the idea...plus there is a custom "stack" tune for the unit. I'm ordering it.

One last thing I want to figure out and make sure of is that this SCT will not mess with my Tow/Haul...someone told me they don't use it anymore...but I wasn't sure if it was because it wasn't necessary or what?

Guys, they are referring to the custom stack tune. Depending on what dealer you get it from, the injector timing and other tuning issues are custom written to be 100% safe and compatible with stacking for an inline device.
