Power Plans for Towing

I plan to pull my 26 ft box with my 01 X 7.3 PSD 2WD.

I have been towing with it since January. The only change I have made is adding rear air bags to restore the ride height and stability when towing. Oh, and to add the tow mirrors.

I plan to buy:

1. Silverline Exhaust 4" 409 Stainless, I am in Texas.
2. AEM Brute Force Air Cleaner
3. Edge Evolution II Programer with monitor

I don't plan to use it beyond the 75hp+ish range. It is mainly for improved towing and MPG.

Does anyone have a good or bad experience to share with these products?

go on the 7.3 forum and ask your question. I dont have experience with the edge, but I am saving up for a DP tuner.

Here's some help on the Edge Evo. We have several reviews from different vehicle owners... some good insight for what you'll receive performance wise. This is the Evo product page at the MotorHaven shop http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/performance-chips/61A2389A0A0.aspx
