no I dont but I am running about the same boost around 10-11.

The xede was good but the edit is excellent alittle more to tune but very reliable with the power always being the same.

how many graphs before you are happy ?????????

Ive only asked for one and haven't seen it yet.

Simple stuff. Power vs boost. Before and after with same boost to determine if there is a power difference

Im wanting to see if there is any graphs of power increase as a direct result of edit tuning that does not involve an increase in boost over what was used in the piggyback tune

I'm with you Steve,

I'm 95% ready to change over to the Edit, I would like to see what rwkw and torque curve that a custom tune at 10psi produces. Against what my tune at 10 psi produces.

If its the same or only marginally better I cannot justify the $3000 change over costs.

$1300 for flasher

$700 for custom tune

$1000 to throw EMS in the bin

I would need to see at least a 25 rwkw gain and a much better torque curve, than I currently have.

Mods would have to be as close to mine as well.

My mods are CAI, larger injectors 440cfm, nizpro intercooler, Custom plumbing, Herrod exhaust cat back. Still using standard valve springs.

Produce these numbers and you've won me over.

There is no doubt that Edit is a potentially better product in the hands of a good tuner but $3000 is still $3000 that I could use in a better way on my car if there is no substanial gain.

As I not a drag racer I see no reason to change just for the sake of it.

Shifty,

What was the power difference if any and what other mods have you got.

I have a few Q's about the edit.

Can I get the TC to default to Off ?

Does the edit use the cam timing, and make the motor a true VVT ?

If you go to the dealer and get a ECU update, will the flasher upload the latest stock tune into the flasher ?

Thanks

How can you blame anyone but yourselves for that..........

that's not a cost of Edit...that's a cost of...whatever you want to call it, but nothing to do with us. Sell it to someone with a Gemini, or a boat or something like that.

Heres an even better comparison Goose.

Shiftys car is stock. Stock exhaust, stock valve springs, stock everything, just a set of injectors, and edit running 10psi. It ran 12.9 @ 112mph with 269rwkw.

Now, what did your car run, and how many rwkw did it have?

[NighEve]

I think the other features you speak of initially Zap would be possible with custom tuning (something for a tuner to inform you about). As for the uploading of latest Ford maps; there's two things I will say about that.:

1. Yes, as long as you load the factory map into the PCM before going to the dealer for the latest flash upload from Ford then this is exactly what you will get.

2. I doubt you will care too much about whatever Ford have to offer map wise because a) it's usually crap - and that is an understatement b) it will not compare to even the generic maps on the flasher, and certainly not to a custom one.... So there's not much point getting updates from Ford unless you have to run the factory tune to return the car for a warranty reason, or you want to return your car to stock for resale.
