I would also like to know the answer to this question.
I am purchasing an '06 250 6.0 Diesel Harley truck. I have seen the new A2 from Edge and like what I see. I know it is new, but is anybody using it?
Has anybody used the Edge Juice Platinum?
Thanks,
Richard

If you want the best performance possible from your truck (and any modifications), and you are willing to spend the time / money for dyno and customing tuning, then an XCal2 with a reputable programmer may be the way to go.

Custom tuned SCT hands down. No you don't need dyno tuning for that either. Trust me you can tell when your tune is right or wrong. SCT has so many options that the Edge can do including full control of the transmission.

From what I have seen on the SCT website. The user adjustable features of the XCAL2 are basically the same as the Edge. And from what I have read, than "canned" Edge tunning beats the "canned" XCAL2 tuning.
An XCAL2 Dealer with Tuning Software or someone with the Pro-Racer tuning software would have total control over the XCAL2 tuner which is not available for the Edge. If your planning on mods or really know what your doing with tuning, then an XCAL2 may be the way to go.
For a stock vehicle, I believe the Edge is hard to beat.

I just ordered the Edge A2 w/the juice platinum for my stock '06 F250 PSD truck.
I might be able to get access to a dyno. If I can, I will pull a baseline before I do the install.
I am not out for every ounce of HP, just want to use it for <10,000# trailer towing. And of course, the occasional mustang

I think you will really like your Platinum with A2. Its a really great system, and it looks great to boot! The A2 is a beautifull piece, there really is no other display today that compares, and the camera coming out soon will be icing on an already fine tasting cake! Great to talk with you Snake, let us all know how it works out!

I have a bone stock F-150 (for now) and the Xcal2 tune gave me more power, and it even idles better.

Can you turn off the EGR with Edge? What about giving you back aggressive tow/haul or PI? Can it do custom shift points or TC lockup in certain gears or speeds? These are honest questions for you Edge guru's. I know SCT can.

I thought the programming was changeable at the control on the Xcal2.
When you take the Xcal2 to the shop for a change, is it free, or do they charge you every time you want something different?
Also, is it change on the fly while going down the road?

No SCT is not shift on the fly. I can control it with my right foot most of the time. If I do need to change tunes then it only takes a couple minutes to change.
