Question edge w/headstuds?

i know everyone here discourages using edge products, but was wondering, since i have headstuds in, whether you guys thought it would be safe or not? or should i just get the sct?

As far as the motor, you are better off than you were. They still eat up torqshift trannies. Either go SCT or wait for Matt @ Spartan to get his tuner out on the market!

UGA33. You have all the same mods as me except I have an 04. Have you run your truck at the track. Just curious what kind of times the 06's run vs 04.

Yea, Matt is going to make his own programmer now. Apparently it's going to do some really neat things that the SCT's aren't able to do. There really isn't very much info out now.........mostly rumors.

That's great! Glad I haven't bought an SCT yet, I'll wait for that for sure!

Matt was able to do his new tuning stuff on my truck when I came up here(leaving NC today actually) and trust me it's worth the wait.

I don't think we that know a little about it can release too much info at the moment, (hush hush, gotta kill ya if we tell ya!) But I think it will be out really soon and it has some sweeeeeeet new things over sct that will really open up our trucks and from what I understand will help some issues that everyone is seeing with matts tunes because of sct. Matt has only somewhat controll over our trucks because scts tabels only allow him so much. With his new tuner and some new ideas he has complete controll of the tables. It will be well worth the money and the wait.
Btw matt if your reading this can you call me today?

denman81 is right, however, if all y'all want to know how much have to save back, I can give that info and just my general overall opinion of it and I'll be posting mileage figures for my drive home in a couple of hours with the new turbo and the new tuning. Other then that, your better off calling Matt to find out what's going on with you(I'm sure he could use some more calls).

Yeah that's why I asked some of you about it. I am sure Matt doesn't need all of us calling him right now asking him about the details on the new tuner! Matt, if you are out there give us a little crumb (more info) under the table to nibble on until you get the tuner out!
