Dyno Tune vs. Edge Performance Tuner - 12/5/2007 8:04:56 PM    GMz71   Posts: 118 Joined: 8/22/2007 Status: offline I want to do some sort of tune for my tahoe, but can not decide which would be more beneficial. Edge Performance: I like this one because of how you can switch from different power modes, and I think it has a fuel economy mode. It seems to have alot which you can adjust. Edge performance claims 40 hp and 38 lbs of torque which sounds pretty nice to me. I also like how you have the mountable pod, and it can be removed at any point. Dyno Tune: I think the software used at the place I would go is HP tuners. I have heard that you get better result from a dyno tune simply because they reset your engines parameters opposed to the EDGE which is a general setting for all tahoes (not sure if this is 100% true). But the one negative thing is that when you go into the dealerships to get serviced if they reset your computers you loose all the new changes (once again not positive). Is there some sort of route around this? Also, do you see any changes in the fuel economy with this? I guess what Im asking is the dyno tune substantially better that the EDGE, and which one y'all recomend. Thanks for the help! _____________________________ 2007 Silver Z71 Tahoe 285/55/20s BGF AT, 20" BBS RD Wheels, Westin Brush Guard, Phillips HIDs, PIAA 540 driving lights, painted bowties, Magnaflow, Tint, Window Visors, and more...

I have a Superchips.  It has an 87 octane, a tow, and a performance tune (93 octane).  Plus adjustable engine parameters and shift points.  Also can do data acq. _____________________________ GM perf. exh, GM CAI, Superchips, Lund step tubes, billet grill, LED tails, Lloyd mats, rear console, GM flaps, silver calipers, black bow ties, tint (in reply to GMz71) Post #: 2

Where exactly do you mount the superchips tuner? Or do you plug it in, and do the changes and remove it?

It plugs into the diagnostic link connector a la a code scanner.  You make changes then take it off unless you are monitoring data.  I haven't tried that feature yet. _____________________________ GM perf. exh, GM CAI, Superchips, Lund step tubes, billet grill, LED tails, Lloyd mats, rear console, GM flaps, silver calipers, black bow ties, tint (in reply to GMz71) Post #: 5
