well all i got right now is the e/a combo. with only one snowmachine in the bed i hit 1300* egt easy on power level 3. really pisses me off that i cant floor it all the way up the hill. i am looking at the cool duels and am wounder how much the egt will be brought down and if ill start throwing codes? i have had the light light up once after i filled er up (something witht the thieft system, trany shift code and fuel pressure code) wierd i know. i just want to be able to run up the hill at the speed limit and not baby thing rig all the time. other wise i love the truck, but am woundering if i should have kept the bigblock i traded in for it.
also would a boost controoler help the egts?
BTW i live in WY and we dont care about emissions here (meaning offroad stuff is cool) so what exhaust kit is turbo back?
dont care about noise either as my neibors hate me allready.

The exhaust should help with egts but i have also heard that the edge does tend to run a little hotter than other tuners/boxes. I would definately get the exhaust to start tho. I would suggest the ATS exhaust i have it and LoVe it.
