I don't have a programmer yet, and was considering either the evolution or the superchips microtuner. What kind of problems are you having? You might just help me with my decision.

What sort of problems are you having with it? Have you talked to Edge about it?

If all you are looking for is a little extra umph when towing, sell the Edge and do the 10K mod. It's practially free power.

You can do a search for the specific instructions, which have been posted a gazillion times, but the short of it is you nstall a 10k resistor in the injection control pressure (ICP) sensor to trick the computer into squeezing the injectors a little harder. There are several different variations of the mod, and can make up to arund a 50HP increase on a stock truck.

I don't use an exhaust brake, so I can't comment on which is better, but I do know that you can modify your existing exhaust backpressure valve to use it as an exhaust brake, and that won't cost you anything either.
