Question Gryphon CS Problems...

So I installed my new gryphon cs a couple weeks ago. I finally got my gps out yesterday since we're going to Colorado and I noticed my tire size was quite a ways off. So I re programmed it a few times until I got it just right. But once I programmed it the last time I noticed I had some problems. I always keep my load meter up and it used to get up to 75 and pull real nice and then downshift. Now the load only goes up to around 50 and to speed up you have to essentially keep pushing the pedal down, load remains at 50 and no power goes down, then once you have it almost to the floor it finally downshifts and I'm on my way. I did redo the program to try and "fix" the issue but to no avail. What gives? It's like it won't put out any power until it downshifts which requires flooring it to put it simple. I really felt it and the load meter confirmed it. Any help is appreciated so I can get it rolling right before the trip back through the mountains!
Thanks!!

You CAN adjust the transmission downshift points and the torque converter unlock points to be lower, if that's what you want. You would put negative values into them to cause the downshift and unlock points to happen sooner.

I'm also going to move this thread. It's not relating to a disabled vehicle, so it doesn't belong here.

Alright thanks. I'll just respond on the f150online thread. I felt like it was kind o related to being disabled as it really is tough to get it to drive.. Thanks.

And what would explain the horrible sudden throttle response?

What "horrible throttle response"? This is the first time you've mentioned this. You only talked about having to feed it more gas to get it to downshift in your earlier posts.

Downshifting is based on throttle opening and speed. I've told you how to make it more willing to downshift under load.

No help anyone? I don't see why the unlock points would be so high all of a sudden and it not apply any power throughout the pedal positions.

Didn't see your post. But also it takes a couple seconds for the throttle to respond now..

And I'm sure your familiar with the load meter. Before as I would push the pedal down the load percent would continue to rise and you could hear the engine loading until it reached about 75 then it would downshift. Now as you push the pedal down it only rises to about 50 and it doesn't change nor can you feel or hear the engine loading and you continue to lose speed until its almost floored then it downshifts and hauls. I would think that even with it Locked in it would continue to keep putting a load on until it felt the need to downshift. Something isn't right I don't think and it all changed from one tow tune to the next while only adjusting tire size...
