I think I got my Evo for $350. I got it at 4wheelparts. They had a promo or sale or something. Totally worth the money. It has paid for itself.

So which is better the evo or gryphon if you an intake and exhuast. Plus I'm about to switch from 35's to 37's so I'll need some fuel millage gains.

gryphon, for the custom tunes and awesome customer service, Yes I bought an Edge but I'm not going far past stock, Just wanted some power, MPG+, and better shifting when I tow. If I was lifting and bigger tires I would def bought a gryphon.

With an intake, (and with some exhausts) you want custom tunes. Get a Gryphon.

and things change..... I updated the firmware online, all went smooth as could be. Upon reinstalling the Evo in the truck, it sits there like a piece of dead plastic requesting that I wait for it to initialize. Half an hour later, same screen. Product definately WORKED well, now the firmware on the other hand, it needs a little help. After being a proud owner for a couple of days, I have a stock calibrated truck and have to contact tech support Monday to see what can be done. FROWN

The screen you're describing is one I see if I plug the unit in BEFORE turning the ignition key to ON. Try it the other way: Turn the ignition key to ON, then plug the unit into the OBDII port.

OK, then - I'm all out of ideas. Firmware updates usually don't cause problems unless you have custom tune. Sorry you can't get this straightened out before Monday.

But - I think you WILL be able to get this fixed, you just have to be patient! And, I know this is hard!

In the end, you will be happy you have a programmer!

Nope, no custom tune here. Im all about having a programmer, just having doubts about the company I have chosen to go with. Things like this happening after this short of a time tend to leave one second guessing their decision. A good thing would be a means to recover from a bad flash without having to deal with tech support.

As far as the hp gains are concerned, you can bet your booty that they're for real -- my husband did the dyno testing when he worked at Edge. You can check out dyno plots from the 2009 F-150 right here. He was just at Edge for 10 days datalogging and dyno tuning.

If you're looking at a used Evo, please check this out first, as it might possibly save you a costly unlock fee.
Everywhere I've looked, dealers are selling them for $359 shipped. Maybe they've dropped in price since you posted this?

Just did some verifying with Edge -- they're not supposed to be selling them for less than $399. Whether they are or not is a different story...

A reflash on a different version of firmware did the trick.

Great! I'm happy you solved the problem! Did you have to use a "previous" firmware update?
