Whats the deal with this? I am talking to a guy selling the evolution programmers for 08 silverado 5.3 and hes saying no TCM support. Then i e-mail Edge directly, and guys telling me they make changes to line pressure and shift points for the 07 08 just not the 6-speed stuff.

 

 

Then i read that theres others like SCT and more and really its just diablosport that doesnt tune the TCM??

 

 

Can anybody clear this up? I want a hand held so thats where im at, I do not want to deal with EFI live simply because I dont care. I just want to get rid of some of this "torque management" and have the capability of tuning for different size tires and gears. If i get 5HP out of the deal great, if not i dont care.

 

 

Right now i was about to go wih the SCT unit and w4me tune, but honestly the edge evolution looks a hell of alot better, and if they are tweaking the tranny parameters and allowing for me to adjust gears and tire diameter then its all i need.

Why not get the Superchips Cortex? I'm pretty sure that tunes the 6spd trans....

 

heh cuz i dont have the 6-speed i'm an 08. I just remember lookin at in here a year or so ago and everyone was saying wheatley, blackbear, w4me, or buying efi-live or hp-tuners is the only way to get your tranny tuned.

 

Now a good while later i decide to look again and it seems like they all do the 460le with exception of the diablosport?? Just trying to get some clarification. I like the idea of the SCT and w4me tune, but i also like the the looks flexibility of changing a couple parameters with the edge evolution, vs using the SCT as simply an upload tool.

I had one on my 08, and yes it does have tcm support. Firm shifts thats for sure. there is no changing shift points, but yes it does firm them up a bunch.

 

And yes, you can change your tire diameter size, and gear ratio.

 

I honestly loved that programmer.

Right off their website.

 

"Features are limited on the 6-speed transmission. Product does not adjust transmission parameters and allow custom settings."

:D I thought some of the 08 5.3's had the 6-speed and why he was questioning it.

Superchips Cortex will adjust line pressure and shift points for both the 4 & 6 speed transmissions.

 

I have one I would be willing to part with if interested:

thanks for the link but I dont want to insult you with my offer. I think i prefer the edge over that programmer just for aesthetic reasons if anything. The edge comes with the dash pod and can use the gauges.

 

I dunno.. It seems that the edge will sort of do what i need but I am not going to pay 300-400 for that crap. Its only 200 more the efi-live or hptuners. I am looking to find a good used one for sale in the 2-250 range. Otherwise ill just buy the real deal shit.

LOL...best of luck buying the "real deal shit" for $200.

 

Any custom tune with at home changeability will run you at least $500 -$600. If you were going to do that you would not be posting on here scrounging a used handheld for $200.

 

Plus it was previously stated the edge cannot change shift points. The Cortex can. Everyone has a different opinion of what crap is I suppose.

i have the edge evolution. i liked it in the beginning but since i installed the corvette servo the 1-2 shift is pretty much whip lash and getting annoying real quick. i would sell my edge for a black bear any day i just have to sell the edge first.

damn.. does that mean you wont sell me the cortex for $200? :P

 

i dont need or even really "want" a programmer, but ive been watching your FS thread :D

I'd sell it to you for $250 Matt. :D

 

I kind of hate to sell it in a way because overall I am happy with it. But all this Black Bear talk has me feeling like I am missing out on something...LOL

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
