Thinking about buying an Edge for my 05 F150

Hey y'all, first time post here. I'm sorry if I missed some thread that could have helped me before posting, but I tried searching with no success.

I drive a 2005 2wd f150 (5.4). Recently I've gotten back on the idea of possibly getting a programmer for my truck. To save myself a chunk of money (Broke college student), I'm thinking about getting a used edge if I can find one at the right price. And then later look more into getting it converted to a gryphon and custom tuned by PHP.

My truck has a couple mods, I'm over on f150online with the same username. Performance wise on my truck I have:
Dual borla pro xs mufflers
Gotts mod
K&N drop in

Will running an edge with canned tunes be a bad idea for any reason? I'm hoping to get some power to help my 3.55 gears turn my 35" toyo mt's, and crossing my fingers for some mpg help if I stay driving the same. I only get about 11.5 or so city at the moment.

Thanks for any help y'all can provide, I've searched a good bit on f150online, but could really use some direct advice.

Thanks y'all,
-Barrett

You shouldn't have any issues with a good used programmer.....just make sure the vehicle it came off of is put back to stock....if not its another $80 out of someone's pocket to get it unlocked....good luck....

Ok, thanks. I think I just struck a deal to buy one for $150. Sounds like a good deal to me. Is it?

I've had my Gryphon in my 04 for about 2 weeks now and it has to be the best investment I've made. I'm running on Level 2 and the firmer/quicker shifts and better throttle response makes it a whole new truck. I can't say I've seen a change in my mileage. I'm still getting 15-16mpg.

Still waiting on my custom tunes from Bill, I'm getting anxious

Hey yall I'm currently talking to someone about his edge Evo. However, he does not have the cd for it. Is that a problem? And I use a Mac computer if that changes anything program wise.
