The defuel on the Edge is user adjustable, so you can set it for whatever you want. Just be smart, don't tow on hot tunes is all. :c:

You basically have the same mods as me except I don't have the fuel pump and I don't have water/meth. What mix are you running for w/m? I'd keep the water content high and the meth low, it could be adding to your higher EGT's. What EGT are you hitting when it's defueling?

i did adjust the defuel, and as far as the water/meth goes i love it when i tow, i do like a 30 meth/70 water to tow. and like 50/50 or 60/40 for fun. with the tow mix and tow mode i pull strong and run around 1000 deg. on a big hill. thats pullin a 21' boat fully loaded.

how hard is the water/meth to install? i have thought about getting it. how much does it help towing, and how often do you refill the tank?

It actually burns as the piston is already travelling back down so often times it just adds more heat and not very much power. Most 6.0 owners I see using it run a 20/80 or 30/70 mix, mostly for the water cooling, and just a little meth to keep it from freezing. I plan on doing my own DIY kit at some point here, I will mainly be using mine for cooling and to keep the combustion chamber squeaky clean, especially running on WVO.

SCT offers a few options, if you're buying new, the handheld tuners are the X-cal3 and the SF3. Xcal will ONLY hold 3 custom tunes. SF3 will hold 3 canned tunes and 3 custom. Either is fine, but you want to be using custom tunes. They also sell the livewire, which is what would most likely mount where your grab handle is, it is gauges/tuner all in one. I would get gauges no matter what. Where you choose to mount them is up to you, you can do an over the mirror pod too. There are a few options if you don't want to lose the grab handle.



Shouldn't be hard at all, but it's going to depend on what kit you go with, and where you're mounting everything like the tank and what not. If you're running stock or low power levels, it's not really needed per se. Refill will depend on a few things, like if it's boost referenced or EGT referenced, and at what points it comes on, and how heavy your right foot is, also how big the tank is.:c:
