New guy from Florida
Hey everyone,
New to the site and to the truck world, worked on and did mods to Mustangs and sportbikes, more bikes than cars tho, so if I make some dumb/ stupid questions please excuse me. This isn't my first time in a forum tho, so I should be ok. Lots of great info on these forums, thanks everyone. Well, I joined the forum because I just got a second hand PHP GRYPHON programmer for my 2005 F150 2wd V8 5.4 and am trying to learn a little more about this programmer and how to mess with it. Any pointers, suggestions, opinions are really helpful to me as I'm new to this type of thing. Thanks and I'm looking forward to talking with some of you PHP GRYPHON owers. |

Welcome
There are all kinds of things to read about on here. For starters I would read through Jacks FAQ on the programming. http://forum.gopowerhungry.com/faqs-...ions-menu.html Then there are threads for just about any topic you can think of.

The Gryphon programmer came in the mail today, now what, just hook it up to the truck or should I update or do something to it first ??
I might need a custom tune, who should I PM, call, email ?? I have the following performance mods so far: AFE stage II CAI Flowmaster dual exhaust I use mainly 93 octane gas,but sometimes 89 octane, don't really tow nothing but a bike in the bed once in a while. I want a performance tune and a good mpg tune. What is the best custome tune for me ?? Thanks |

You can plug it into the truck but it wouldn't hurt to plug it into the computer to make sure everything on that end is working. If there are any custom tunes from the original owner you WILL have to do an update to clear them and put the canned tunes back on.
For custom tunes follow this link to the order form. Power Hungry Performance - Ordering Info In your case I'd for sure get a 93 performance tune. You can get a lower octane performance tune but I'd just skip and use the 87 tow when you dont fill with the higher grade fuel and bump the timing up about .75-1 degrees. There is no specific mileage tune because those were lethargic and did not guarantee better mileage. Instead, good pedal control with the performance tune will be your best bet.
