well i just added the edge evolution cs and i like it alot it seems to add a ton of power and the truck runs smooth, not to mention it took almost all the turbo lag out of it.

these obs need injectors to make power, even stage ones make a huge difference and if you get the DIY ones they are cheap.

i did mine a few years ago and they were a couple hundred bucks and used your injectors, you can check them out at diy-injectors.com

my fuel mileage didn't change, if anything it was better when i could keep my foot out of it.

a custom tuned chip makes a world of difference and really take advantage of the bigger injectors.
