Performance Chips...
I was looking into getting a Predator but im Stuck between that one and the Edge Tuner. I have a full flowmaster exhaust. Does anybody have a recommendation for my set up.
Or even better yet does anybody have any hookups to get a good price?

I have the SuperChips Microtuner and while I'm happy with it if I had to do it over again I would do the Edge for sure. Back when I bought mine the Edge was not available...I wish I would have waited now.

If you search around you should be able to find a lot of helpful threads on this. The Edge tuner is a neat product with lots of doodad features, and the tuning is certainly an improvement over stock. However, I always recommend a BamaChips Xcalibrator 2 tuner. The hardware is MUCH more capable, allowing access to all areas of the PCM, so we can make changes to ANY parameter that could yield improvement. The tunes are also custom written to YOUR truck, based on your other mods, octane preference, and driving needs.
If you really want the best tuning, I would look into our BamaChips tuner. If you want the most features, look at the Edge.

We didn't have time to run a stock tune base line, but you know what. I've kind of lost interest in the stock tune as part of the custom tune was leaning things out (a bit, not a lot) and my message center tells me that my fuel economy has improved what appears to be about 1 mpg.
Check out Diablosport's website. Any CMR dealer, and there are many of them in the U.S., should be able to achieve similar results.
