anthonylcorso Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am about to buy an EdgeTuner. Just wondering if it worth the money. A friend of mine bought one for his diesel and had pretty good gains all around. I know it is different for gas. They advertise a 29hp, 30ft/lbs and a couple extra miles to a gallon gain. Does anyone have any insight as to whether it is worth it or not? Its going to be about $380. Or is there something else I should do that is around the same price? I already have an intake and exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 As far as a tune, its only as good as the tuner himself. Obviously a live tune whether its dyno or street tuned, will get just a bit more outta your truck than a mail order, the only thing I see good with handhelds are being able to change your tire size/speedometer and clocking your times. I would just get a mail order if you have a cai and exhaust, their pretty much the same tunes. Edge Tuner, never heard of but dont waste your money, the mail order/live/dyno tuners on here have worked on these trucks a long time and are to the real deal. Havent heard one complaint. And they can adjust much more parameters than the handhelds. $380 is steep unless they are similar to Hp tuners or EFI Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have been in one vehicle that was a gas application with a hand held. You could tell some difference, but nothing like a custom tune. Thats the route im headed. Just got to get the extra cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 You can probably get a custom tune or mail order tune cheaper and get twice the results i dint think anyone on here has a handheld tune in there truck. No joke there not impressive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGGEN2 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Buy your own device, I would recommend Hp Tuners VCM pro, buy the learn@home book from thetuningschool.com, do your own driveability tuning, handle your tq management, shift points, etc. They give you a year of support reading tune files ect.
