Hi guys! Im new to the forum and i love it so far and i can't wait to dig in some more. I'am currently running an edge evo on my early 99 powerstroke and find it to work ok (besides having to shut it off to change settings)! I was wondering if the dp tuner was any better? I have read alot of good things about them so far. Also can i still run the edge just for the gauges if i do descide to purchase a DP? Thanks

 

That's not even a real question, all you hear is DP around here.

I haven't installed mine but am planning on doing some live tuning with the DP on saturday.

 

First off, welcome to the site. The Edge is no comparison to a DP or TW.

Read the above post.

 

There is no comparison to dp,i had the edge and it sucks.Sorry to be so blunt

 

Welcome to FTE! When I purchased my truck it came with an edge programmer. When you wanted to change the settings it was like an act of Congress. Turn the truck off, turn the key on, wait, turn the key off, turn the key on, and so forth. I purchased the dp and now all I do is push the button and it changes the tune. I really like that. There is also a lot of difference in the performance. I have stock, 40t, 60t, 80e. I run in the 80e program most of the time. The throttle response is much better along with the shifting of the trans. It also is better when I am stopping as it seems to keep the converter locked longer. This is just my 2 cents on what my experience has been thus far. Several people have a Tony Wildman tuner and really like that. I don't have any experience with it. Best of luck on your decision.

 

To quote Guzzle. Edge vs DP, is like "Mary Poppins vs Hulk Hogan".

 

I couldn't agree any more with that statement and the samething also goes with Tony Wildman.

 

Don't make the mistake I did and think that DP stands for the Diablo Predator. It damn sure don't......

 

Slap that predator on ebay and go for the gold, Joe.

 

 

Now that just hilarious Joe,.

 

Boy, you guys had to go WAY back to dig up that quote.

 

First time i heard it....

 

I have a DP - and yes, I kept my Edge gauge set up.

 

For the 7.3 you're going to get a DP or Tony Wildman recommendation 99% of the time.
