Improved Mileage/Performance/towing

I have a 2002, mostly stock. I have read with interest some of the new products that help mileage & power. I am interested in feedback on Edge Mileage Max and XZT Towing, id they have a Gen 2 edition.
Any trade off with reliability?

For a modest performance enhancer like these, there is no downside, all benefit. You'll get 30-60 more hp and perhaps better mpg when not into the power.

I'd recommend that you skip these in favor of a product like the Adrenaline, which is far more versatile and will never be outgrown.

How much did mileage improve? Did you notice increased poxer/torque?
How long have you had it?

I've seen an increase of about 2 mpg. There is a little more power, more torque and the exhaust note is nice. I really like it. The motor seems to run "nicer" too, if that makes sense...

Yep, that make sense... Cause that's how I feel Engine is actually quieter and smoother. I like this chip so much, I'm interested in getting the XZT+ upgrade just to see how it does. But I'll wait, got a trip to Sturgis coming up and I don't want to be tempted to push the tranny too much
