What engine you tuning?
 
Well reading through a lot of the post on here, I feel like I am one of the only ones here with the 4.6, now I'm sure that isn't the case, so I was wondering what engine everyone has? Maybe also post a 0-60 time as the Gryphon reads?

The best 0-60 I got was 7.61, I thought that was pretty good for the 4.6.

According to Gryphon.......

I ran three consecutive one night.
1. 6.44
2. 6.73
3. 6.69

also ran 2 1/4's afterwards.
1. 15.1 @ 91
2. 15.3 @ 93

To Chris74...
 
Do you remember what you ran before your custom tunes? I don't have mine yet but I am between 7.5 and 7.7 depending on wheel spin. My choice of wheels/tires (33x12.50 20 Mud Grappler) isn't helping at all.

Just a quick FYI... to use the Gryphon, customers MUST have custom tunes. Since the 4.2Ls aren't really advertised and are not as common, we have very few 4.2L customers.

5.4...sadly no 0-60 or 1/4 yet...too slippery out... it's great putting it in 4by and steppin on it and going nowhere.:hehe:

Are you making sure your tire size is correctly identified in the programmer? If not, that will skew your numbers!

.....I never tried it on the canned Gryphon tunes, but when I was running my Edge Evo on the canned level 2 (tow tune).......I believe I only ran a 7.78. This was also before my truck was truely broken in.

Now that my truck is nicely broken in.........I can run that (or better) on stock tune!

These trucks aren't as slow as a lot of people make them out to be!

I haven't gotten mine yet, should be here tomorrow :woot: , but I plan on checking the difference in the times from stock to canned tunes then once my custom tunes come in checking again. Yeah, these trucks are quite a bit faster than people make them out to be. Especially when you go from a 2.3L Ranger to the 5.4L F-150 lol.

What is broken in? My 08' just got to 20k, is it safe to assume that is broken in?

Haha, yeah I'm in the same boat, I went from a 94 2.3 ranger with 33's to the 4.6 F-150, feels like a rocket ship to me :3gears:

I drove the Ranger to work yesterday because the F-150 was at the shop getting an exhaust system put on (Flowmaster 40 series SI/DO), and I felt like the Ranger was working really hard to drive 60-65 mph, feels a lot different lol.

Yeah I drove mine the other day and it felt sooo slow, and with it being a stick was funny to drive again. I think the top speed on my Ranger was 80 downhill haha
