Default Edge Juice w/ Attitude

Sorry if this is the wrong spot to post this.
Well im very new with the whole truck modding and stuff and one of the first things I just bought for my 02 was the Edge. Anyways im hoping that I didnt blow 600 bucks and buy some 600 dollar peice of crap. Iv got a giaint Air intake and filter and im thinknig about straight piping and removng the muffler until I buy an Exhust. Whats your take on all that.

Also,
With a stock tranny what do u think the minimun amount of time I should run it on the 5th leval,most of the time for driving I will have it in 2,so my tranny wont fall out from underneath me to fast!

Thanks!

the edge is a good box. i wouldn't even run it on 5 with a stock tranny. i wouldn't go above 3 unless you put a good tc in

Everyone likes to hotrod every once in a while, what's the longest time I can safely run it at 5,if I'm going maybe 30 mph?

I don't believe it. Let's see the Dyno sheet! Or did he just add up all the claims of the HP the stuff he put on his truck?
