A lot of people on this site like the Edge Evo. If you want custom tunes, I'd recommend SCT or Gryphon. I used an SCT on my 6.0L and loved it.

I like my Edge Evo. Might not be able to get all the fine tuning capability of some tuners, but I prefer the plug and play capability w/o having to spend a bunch of time making adjustments. It also resulted in a serious Grin after I installed it. Woke that 5.4 up something nice.

Xcal3 with 3 custom tunes at 5 star is 390 or with s+b intake 644 - discount for fte members.The s+b is good for another 10hp on 87 octane 15 on 93 on the 5.4 and mikes tunes are perfect when you get them.

I also recomend sct x3 from 5 star tuning. Mike has been a great help and has great customer service. I got the custom tunes 87 economy gives you a mile or two better to the gallon, 91 tow this comes in really handy and makes a huge difference, and 91 performance this really wakes the truck up and gets you moving. I dont got the air intake yet but thats my next step when I get a job again.

got my edge a few years ago and never been sad for it.

adjusted the trans shifts and woke up my 4.6 a bit and works perfect for what I wanted...can monitor the trans temp and gives a good indicator of MPG, better than the factory one my wife has in her Escape.


As has been stated...the best one is the one that person owns. lol
