removing edge for sct x3???

O.K. Several of you have convienced me to throw away my edge juice with attitude for the sct x3. I have been on innovative diesel and they have it for 429. not sure thats with the programs or not. What programs should i purchase with this, i want something that will be good for daily driving and yet slam my head against the head rest when i mash the throttle. is this programer easy to use? does anyone know for sure if i can keep my edge juice leave it on level 0 for monitoring and install the sct x3. If so that would save me alot of money...

I have 3 tunes from Eric at Innovative. Lots of usefulness(is that a word). I have a 60 hp all around street tune that I run most of the time. I really like it and average 16.8mpg. I have a heavy tow tune for dragging around my 36 foot fifth wheel that works great, turns my vgt turbo into an exhaust brake. Then for fun, I have a 125 hp extreme street tune. I only run this to show off a little. It is too much fun. I would get into trouble

Regards

X Race is a little more powerful and the converter lockup strategy is different. It's locks up right as you shift to second.

X Street is better to run around in for most guys, as it'll lock up in only the higher gears. A little more forgiving and keeps you from lugging and blowing a lot of smoke.

a good street tire will work wonders with 4wd. some guys can cut 1.7 60's on them. 2wd is a whole nother animal. street tires aren't enough. lucky to cut less than 2 second 60's with a street tired 2wd.

You can use your edge for gauges. You have to unplug it completely every time you change your tunes then plug it back it. Its possible but a pain.

Dont just set the edge to 0 remove it from the programing. as in return the truck to stock. then load the sct in the truck. then you can plug the edge back in and use it for gauges. just dont load anything off of it to the trucks pcm. depending on what you do with your truck as to what tunes to buy. I would go with a heavy tow, street tune for everyday driving, and either the xstreet or xrace for when you really want to get on it. if you dont plan on more mods then I would stick with the xstreet for your high hp tune.
