Need some Tunning help
 
I bought an edge Evolution about 3 years ago. About 2 years ago Bill helped me out by updated my evo to a gryphon and putting some canned tunes on my truck for my engine swap.

I swapped a 5.4l into my 4.6l truck while keeping the coil pack 4.6l ignition system.

Well I now have CAI, OBX long tube headers, and flow master dual exhaust.

Im sure there is more power to be had if i can get a dyno tune or a live tuning session. But i have no idea where to find a dyno in the area.

Currently im in southern Indiana for another month, then im heading back to Iowa.


I know that canned tunes cant take full advantage of every truck, and with bolt ons i should be able to go farther.


Any advice?

Thanks

A custom tune will help utilize the Cai.
Not to much for gains on he LT headers without utilizing a supercharger also.
JMHO

Really, thats surprises me.

Im sure that I did get some gain with Long tube. I had 4.6l exhaust manifolds on my 5.4l.

A supercharger is in the definite future. Id like to get it on a dyno though and get it custom tuned still.

Any ideas about dynos in the area?

A cai along with LTs you might gain 6-8 HP.

The reason the LTs help a supercharger is they get the air out quicker or better flow. On a NA motor your limit to what the TB and intake will allow into the motor.

That's going to be up to you to go and find and if you do find a dyno, the Gryphon Bill helped you with is going not to be able to be custom tuned by them. Bill is the only custom tune provider for the Gryphon.
Best advice is call PHP and talk to Bill.
