Question about the EDGE..?
First of all I want to introduce myself since I am a new guy to this Forum. Name is Ryan, I live in Las Vegas and just bought a 2006 F150 SuperCrew XLT 5.4, 2wd. I dont have that much mods since I only had my truck for a little over a month. I bought the HD headlights in replacement of the chrome ones. I also got the 5K HID conversion kit. Well I been reading up on CAI and Exhaust systems and I keep coming across people asking if the EDGE will work along with their intake and exhaust. I tried a search to find out more about ' Edge ' but I couldnt find anything helpful. Can you guys fill me in on this? Thanks!

Tical84, Thanks a lot for the link. Was very helpful. So with this Installed, you can input your mods such as intake tube size, tire size, etc and it will program itself to get the most power out of what mods you installed? Thanks again and any other info you have on this would be great!

Yes the Edge will let you change tire sizes,gearing,shifting,WOT fuel,etc...
It is a great product IMO if you want to stay mostly stock.The edge can't fix a lean condition except at WOT.Every truck reacts dif to CAI on how much they lean out.Also the newer trucks like yours can run lean from the factory.The amount they will lean out also depends on how much the CAI actually flows over stock??The 3in CAI is supposed to be safe for the newer fords but when combined with the Edge i don't know what will happen.
How quick do you want the tuner and maybe some others with the edge and CAI can tell you what intake they are running.I still wouldn't run one unless i knew what the A/F ratios are.Just because there is no CEL does not mean it's not lean
I myself would not chance it and get a custom tune if you want to keep modifying and want it safe

Well I been researching on a few different CAIs and most people are using either K&N, Volant, AF1 and Outlaw. Every one of those has its pros and cons but the ones with less cons are the K&N and Outlaw. (From what I been reading). Now people are using the edge along with their CAI. Is it a MUST to get edge before I do any intake/exhaust mods? I dont want to install anything unless I know its safe for my truck. Thanks for the reply!

ItalianRyan24 I bought my edge from member here in the forums. "NO" you dont have to have the edge to install the K&N first. And you dont even have to have the edge to run the K&N. Hope that helps!
I have the edge and a Magaflow SI/DO and love my setup. Of course I wanted more so started reading up on the CAI systems and had to order one! Now just to hope everything works together ok!

Cool thanks for the info! This is my first truck im doing mods to so im still trying to figure things out. I was asking about needing the edge or any kind of tuner of some sort because I was reading up on people that installed their CAI, and their truck was running too lean. Being ' lean ' means more air than fuel right? So they would use their ' tuner ' to i guess balance it out....or just fix the problem. Sometimes their CEL would come on so thats just making me a little concerned. . .

Edge
I have all three basic mods, cai,edge,and sido exhaust. I have had absolutely no problems. With the edge you can modify different settings but I don't recommend it if you aren't sure of what you are doing. I have left mine on setting 2 and run 87 octane fuel and she runs like a champ!
