Need Expertise

2000 F-150 4.6l v8
135,000 miles
5 speed manual

I am upgrading my stock wheels and tires and was looking at buying a Superlift Truespeek Speedometer Recalibrator for about $180.

I then started looking at buying a tuner because most tuners can recalibrate the speedometer and offer more horsepower for a little bit more money. Because my truck is manual, I don't need the ability to alter transmission shift points as some offer. I want more horsepower/torque but don't care about MPG. If I was worried about mpg i would've bought a car.

I want the most for money. I don't want to buy something cheap and not be happy.

The Edge looks like a nice product, but man its expensive. Is it that much greater than the competition.

My future plans include an aftermarket intake and exhaust.

Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

Another factor may be towing. I hardly ever tow. Occasionally i pull my ski nautique one mile down the road to the lake.

A lot of F150 owners like the Edge. I think they are getting them for around $350, which I don't think is that bad considering what you are getting. Another option would be a custom tuned xcaliber 2 from Troyer Performance but they are even more.
