Gryphon Programmer Edge Product has discontinued the Edge Evolution 2, but we still provide support and tuning for it. If you have a question or comment relating the Gryphon (or Evolution) programmer, post it here. |

But, in the future, I'd try to match the octane you put in with the tune you are using. Don't fill with an octane below the tune rating. Ford even talks about this in the owners manual. They say not to use 86 or 85 octane (in areas where it's available) since the engine is "stock" designed for 87. If 87 is not available, they say to use 89 octane. (Use gas with an octane rating that is equal or higher than the octane the engine is tuned for). - Jack |

agreed...the 87 perf tune seems stronger than the 93 canned anyway. i used to run 91 in my old Hypertech PP3 on the 93 canned tune. and 92 when available. but i digress....you guys know alot more than me....but i'm learning

I was just wondering if it was possible to change the timing on a custom tune. Many times when I go to Wisconsin you will find Mid Grade 91 or even 93 octane cheaper than 87. Maybe they just don't move it as fast as Reg. Thanks for the help. How many posts do you need to be a WHOPPER? Bob |

You can change it yourself to whatever you want in your User CP! |

You CAN change the timing on ANY tune (other than level 0). BEFORE you do this though, when you enter the "custom options" menu, go to "Load Previous Settings" first so that you reload your correct tire size and any other custom things you set. Otherwise, you'll just have default values in those places. My Gryphon manual (really just an Edge manual), but Corey's updating it, says a rule of thumb is to increase timing by 0.5 for each octane count you go up. So, if you were tuned for 87 and had a full tank of 91 on board, you should be able to increase the timing by 2 degrees. What you'll probably have though is a mixture, so, if say you put a half a tank of 91 in and mixed it with 87, you'd really be running closer to 89 and should increase timing only 1 degree. Use good judgment and you should be fine. Don't forget to reduce the timing when you start filling with 87 again, and don't forget to "Load Previous Settings" each time. Sorry if I sound like I'm lecturing. I taught in the University here for 20 years and it sort of "sticks". Somewhere in the f150 forums, I read that you could also increase timing for altitude. We're at 2500 feet here in Tucson and I tried increasing my timing by the smallest possible amount. I got a "wandering" idle and promptly set it back. - Jack |
