not sure about the 7.3 but the edge is a no-no for MANY 6.0L owners in that it does not program the tranny to protect it and many have had to rebuild/replace trannies...

Good luck...

I have an edge eveolution on my 7.3L excursion. However it is only temporary until I can pull the trigger on some custom tunes. i really only bought it (used & cheap!) as a monitor, instead of individual gauges. The 80hp tune is nice and I drive it that way most of the time, but my fuel mileage is terrible and my egt's are high. I hope custom tunes will help resolve this. PHP can put custom tunes in an Evolution if you don't want to get a 6-position chip.

This is true of the Edge Juice. It is not true of the Evolution.

The Evolution is a true programmer with canned tunes. Just like any of the other tuners out there. PHP can convert your Evo into a Gryphon and custom write tunes for it. It tunes the both the ECM and TCM.

I have an Evo 2 on my '02 EX. I find the mielage to be very good (using Program 2 which is the 80 HP) even when i tow. I do think the EGT's will run higher if you do not have an exhaust on it (I have a 4 in MBRP). I have tried Program one (towing) and find 2 to be superior w/ my mods.

I think it is a very good interim step but evenually, i would like to get custom tunes as well.
