About to take the plunge

Currently own a 2006 F150 Lariat 5.4L w/34k on it. It's stone stock except dual exhaust, flowmasters (2.5 in pipe). Going to get Gryphon w/one custom tune. What is the absolute best tune for mileage? Your thoughts are appreciated (especially if you have a similar set up).

If you don't mind I'll answer you with a question.
What octane gas do you run the most of?
If your answer is XX then go with XX octane performance tune.
If your answer is YY then go with the YY one.
It's that easy!
Personally I run 87 octane. So I went with the 87 octane performance tune, plus a performance tow in the same octane also.
Kept the 93 canned tune level 3 incase I ever wanted to spend alittle extra on gas and have some fun.
IMHO
I also feel the gryphon is a great building block incase I ever do a s/c.

I usually run 87 so I'll try the 87 Performance tune. Down the line I may get more.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Make it your first selection on your order form to switch it out with the tranny only tune. Level one hardly anyone uses the tranny only canned tune.
IMO

Well, after several weeks of working, i finally decided i have enough money to order a gryphon. i went ahead and got the 89 performance tune. i used to run 87, but i figure that with this purchase, now is as good of time as any to treat my truck a little better with a higher octane.

Cant wait for it to get here now!!! what kind of time frame do they normally take to send these out? like will i get it before thanksgiving?

If you're ordering a new unit, Corey tries to ship it within 48 hours. It is sent by UPS and you receive a tracking number. But, since she's sick, things may take a bit longer.

You MAY or may not get an email acknowledgment. I know, it would be nice if you did. But, if your credit card gets charged, you KNOW they got the order, and, then I can absolutely guarantee you will get your Gryphon, so much so that I'd be willing to refund the cost of the unit myself if that didn't happen.

Look for a shipping notice in 2-3 days. Hopefully, there won't be any delay.
