Edge Evo and K&N
Howdy all
Spent some time searching, but nothing answers my question for my '03 with the 4.6.
I'm running the K&N 57FIPK, Flowmaster 50 series, and Edge evo (like everyone else it seems)
Any issues with this set up running lean? Lots of talk re. the 5.4, but nothing on the 4.6.
So far, i've put ~4500Km on this set up, Evo on level 2 mostly, but i put 2400Km on level 3. No codes, runs great. Cylinder head temp. according to the evo has always run 192-196, same with the coolant.
Thanks
Paul

One way of finding out is to touch the tips of your exhaust. They should be warm/on the slight hot side, but not blistering. Mine were blistering. Then again, I have the 5.4L I returned mine to stock quickly thereafter. The Edge doesn't seem to place nice with CAI's. It's more for a stock no mod truck than trucks with CAI's. I am now waiting on custom tunes from Troyer.

to the OP, for i while i had the K&N 57FIPK with flowmaster duals and the edge, i liked the combo except that the tranny shifted horribly, and also the CAI droned so bad. i switched from the edge to custom tuning and now the tranny feels like a million bucks and the CAI roars instead of drones.

Keep the CAI and get some custom tunes from Troyer! That's what the majority of the people on hear have done. Then again, you could always see if you could have your Edge custom tuned to your truck.

Another great part is I didn't have to make any adjustments with timing, shift points pressures etc.. Just load level 2 for tow or 3 for performance and it is set up for my truck. Only thing to change is the tire/gear combo. Another neat deal is my menu choices. I will post pics later.
What CAI do you have?
I will be doing a write up hopefully later today or tomorrow about first impressions. I loaded custom tunes late Tuesday afternoon.

Anyone having lean issues on '03 and earlier 5.4's or 4.6's?
Seems all the problems are on the "newer" engines. Did FoMoCo make significant changes to the fuel injection mapping that would account for the increase in stock HP and lean out problems with CAI's?
Anyone familiar with the cylinder head temp's on the 4.6's? Mine runs the same temp whether on stock, level 1, 2 or 3. Theoretically, if its running lean, the cylinder head temps will increase along with the exhaust gas temps.

I know of the GREAT Bill/ASEMECHANIC, I just didn't want to waste his time, money is tight but if the price is right my Edge is willing to travel
