This is the first forum I have ever posted on. After alot of research I decided to buy a PHP Gryphon and here I am. Would appreciate any input on how to get more towing power from my 2004 f150 5.4. Have a K&N filter and flowmaster muffler.

Howdy, if you do a lot of towing, lower gears and smaller tires are usually the direction you want to go. A custom tow tune will also help out your shifting.

Yeah I have nice big 35" tires... and towing sucks! haha. once my Gryphon alarmed at me telling me that my tranny was getting warm when I was towing a boat up some hills, so I definitely let it cool off for a bit
