more fuel
I don`t see any after market lift pump
what about a air dog 150 or a fass
bigger injectors will help deliver more fuel but not if the lift pump or vp can`t keep up

One reason it takes more power to get going is because you've got bigger tires on your truck. So your engine has to work harder to get your truck going.Try puting on regular size tires and see what happens.

Yep, i totally agree. With the injectors and the Edge you have you might already be sucking the VP down to 0-1 psi with your stock lift pump... thats bad news ... get a higher flow fuel pump on there for sure.
