Supercharger and Gryphoon?

I need way more power for towing my RV, especially on the hills. I already have an Edge which I absolutely LOVE what it's done to the truck, especially the transmission. However I'm resigned to the fact that I'll need forced induction to accomplish my goals. I've begun researching different kits this week. However, I'd like my brand new Edge/'Phoon modified to work with the supercharger. I'm curious if PHP can accomplish that for me. I live nowhere near PHP so my idea is if Bill has done a similar kit before to send what he has already just to get me up and running, then I'll hit the dyno, do a data log and a few runs, then send that info to Bill for tweaking if needed, I understand there will be some back and forth and I'm fine with that. In my case I'm not out for that absolute last possible 1/16 horsepower I can squeeze out of the truck. I just need more jam to get up the hills when towing and err on the side of caution.

Does anyone on here have a Gryphoon controlling their supercharged truck?

Looking for a good deal on a supercharger kit!

There are only but a few that have a sc with gryphon customs to run the vehicle. They are 97-03's.
There maybe one with 04-08 truck.

Actually, we've done several Roush kits with accompanying tunes. It all really depends on the supercharger kit you plan on running. In most applications, we simply take the base calibrations that Roush provides and make minor improvements to help improve certain drivability aspects. This works well since the base Roush tunes are set up based on the specifics of the supercharger kit.

Hope this helps.

Bill, thank you so much for replying, that helps TREMENDOUSLY. I would much much rather keep my Edge/Gryphoon to control the blower.

I just did a search and found this thread because I am in need of the same thing.

I destroyed the engine in my truck last month and will be putting a roush stage 3 engine with supercharger in it now. I have every thing for it minus a couple minor details.... and the ecm.

I already have an Edge programmer that I would like to send in to PHP and have changed with the proper tuning. I have a couple of extra modifications such as 60k coil packs, jba headers, 3" exhaust and the transmission has a Troyer performance valve body.

The truck is on 37" tires right now with stock gears (changing those soon with the new 9" rear end) and Comp cams will be using my truck for a prototype for the new Thumper Cams.

All in all I would like to get every thing running as well as possible with a lot of reliable power. I know those two words don't go together well but I believe if a tuner knows what they are doing, well then there should be no problem.

Let me know if this sounds like some thing that can be done and if so I will be mailing you the edge this week so we can get started.

Thanks! -Eric
