Do i need to Upgrade my Evo to a Gryphon to get a tune?

freebird · #1 Thu, March 3rd, 2011, 10:05 AM

Hello,

Got my Evolution CS programmer yesterday. I have a 2006 F150 Fx4. With the 5.4L engine. I also have a K&N Cold air intake kit. I was advised by the people over at edge that i should come here and get a tune for my programmer that includes the K&N intake.

My question is. Do i need to upgrade my Evolution to a Gryphon just to get it tuned for the K&N. Or is there something else i can do?

Thanks alot.

-Nate

yes, you need to send it in to php to get reflashed so it can accept custom tunes. im not sure if it is needed just for the CAI. I know if you have a CAI and an exhaust you do need a custom tune.

Sorry, Random, that's not right. You DO NOT send in a CS/CTS programmer for "conversion" prior to getting custom tunes. Bill can/does write the tunes for an "unconverted" one. Edge does not want the CS/CTS platform "converted".

The "send in for conversion" is for the older, 2004-2008 truck model monochrome Evolution.

oh my bad. i thought the cs/cts had to go through the same process as the evo. I learned something new today. Sorry for giving you bad info freebird.

Thank you very much.
They have not been too responsive via email. I assume its better just to call the number during normal business hours?

Yes it seems to be a lot easier to get ahold of them during normal hours on the phone, but I think they are closed this week, so try on monday to get through.
