Don't know for sure but assuming its does what it needs to adjust timing. This an excerpt from the Edge site and the description. It says it does timing, if it does then throw out the normal numbers around stock tunes. Thats the point I was making.
Developed and tested using innovative engineering techniques, the Mileage Max takes the bite out of rising fuel prices by optimizing the timing and pressure of fuel delivery, which has consistently been proven to improve not only fuel economy, but also horsepower.
Right, but do you do timing by fooling boost and pressure signals? There may be slight timing changes based on pressure with stock parameters but timing is not "adjusted". . If you call and talk with Edge they will tell you about it in more detail. . timing is only adjusted due to pressure changes and the ECM. . Edge told me the most the mileage max will adjust pressure is about 1500 psi... So say the MM wants 19K psi, but the ECM only wants 18K the MM will show 17K (random numbers) to get the ECM to open the FCA and make more pressure, pressure comes up and the rail shows 19K, and the MM shows 18K to maintain 19K; since the ECM only sees 18K it will inject the fuel based on the table for rpm, boost, etc and 18K psi vs the 19K psi that is being injected. That is all that it can do for timing, is that enough to warrant EGT changes? Not sure, but I know I would drop about 50* from safe stock limits to be safe.
In order to adjust the actual timing you need to fool the cam/crank sensors.
From Edge 1350* is the most your should run. . thou that is from the install instructions for 98. 5-07. . not sure I would run a 2nd gen that hot.
Exhaust Gas Temperature
EGTs readings tell you how hot the exhaust gases are in the exhaust
manifold coming from the engine. This is important because you shouldn't
let them run for long periods above 1350 F. If you do see them this high you
may notice that the instant you let out of the throttle, the EGTs will
immediately start to decrease. So this means that if you are getting up to or
exceeding this limit you may need to ease up off the throttle a bit to bring
those temps down and keep them in a safe operating range.
