xede + dynoflash
I am curently running......
-Buschur dowpipe
-Buschur cat delete pipe
-JIC cat back
-Buschur intercooler
-RMR cone filter
-HKS EVC, fri will be Buschur MBC, HKS for sale
-Lineage grounding cables
Im hitting 314 whp 334 ft lbs at 20 psi dropping to 19 redline. i wanted to add my Xede back to see if i could add some more power,,,any thoughts, sugestions? thanks....

You're dynoflashed and running a pretty different set-up than any of the baseline XEDE maps are tuned to (including manual boost control), so you would have to make some custom tuned maps for yourself to take advantage of most of the XEDE's features.
If you can find someone local who is familiar with tuning the XEDE and has an appropriate data logging set-up, here are just a few ideas you could use your XEDE for:

- Use XEDE's low-RPM bypass and selectable RPM breakpoints to get finer tuning of on-boost RPM regions
- Develop a custom race gas map to put in XEDE bank 1 for drag days
- Use the XEDE to get finer control over boost than the Buschur MBC
- Launch control (with forthcoming firmware)

I would go with cams as your next upgrade and fuel pump. Dynoflash has maps for these upgrades as well. Or you can use your Xede also with cams and you can download the software for free. But you might have to flash you Ecu back to stock first.

This is really the basic idea behind an XFlash and the Xede working in concert with one another. Some of the benifits from using a flash with the Xede would be no air/fuel cut, raised RPM limit, top speed cutoff removed, and there are several others that slip my overburdoned pea sized brain at this moment. Just make sure that you start with a blank map if you decide to use the Xede in conjunction with the flash. From what I understand the Xede does not know if your base settings in the ECU have been changed or not, so if you are already running X + 2 degrees of timing at 5500 RPM's (this would be whatever the orininal timing was plus the advance from the flash) then the Xede might have a map that adds its own 2 degrees to X as it does not know that the value for X has already been altered by the flash. What you would end up with in this instance is 4 degrees of additional timing since the flash has added 2 degrees and the Xede has added 2 degrees. As you can see, this could be bad as it might be more that the engine needs which would induce knock. The same premise would hold true for A/F ratio as well. This is purely hypothetical as I do not know the added values for either the flash or the Xede, but you get the idea. Just make sure you have a blank unaltered map loaded in the Xede before starting the engine so that you don't damage anything.
