Default Edge Evolution Programmer

Has anyone had any experiences with it? Good or bad? How does it compare to the SuperChips or Diablosport? They claim it adds 35hp on the extreme setting.

i am wanting to know the same. My thought is it would be easier to change performance settings with the Edge.

All handhelds will gain right around the same power. For the Ram 5.7L Hemi, that would be about 15rwhp/15rwtq Maybe it's up to 20tq, but they are still going to be within 10-15% of each other. It's like saying one set of LT headers give 20mor HP than another set of LT headers.
One tuner won't give you 20hp more than another. it's not gonna happen. I haven't used the Edge, but I can tell you that there are more functions and changeability within the tunes if you go with SC or a Diablo tuner, not to mention the transmission adjustments you can make along with the ability to turn off MDS. Edge cannot do any of that that I am aware of. Still, some guys prefer it because the dash pod. I don't care to look at that stuff.
My Diablo tuner takes about 60seconds to download a different tune. I imagine SC is the same since changing a tune requires a re-flash of the ecu.
Being you have a 2007, i would look into the SC or Diablo in that the transmission functions are outstanding and the MDS disable option. I bought my tuner soley to disable MDS and I will never ever turn it on again. The truck shifts so freakin smooth compared to before. The MDS was sluggish, slowed down my downshift time and wanted to constantly run in 4cyl mode not to mention the annoying sound once I got a catback installed. My mileage has stayed the same with mds disabled and running a 91oct tune.

I figured they all gave about the same amount of hp and torque. I couldn't see one giving a certain amount and another not being able to either. I too like the thought of being able to disable MDS. I'm 100% certain SC is what I'm gonna do. Thanks.

I like the dash pod and I don't see how they can publish hp numbers without backup. there are laws against false advertising as royal purple found out.
