About to take the plunge
 

Currently own a 2006 F150 Lariat 5.4L w/34k on it. It's stone stock except dual exhaust, flowmasters (2.5 in pipe). Going to get Gryphon w/one custom tune. What is the absolute best tune for mileage? Your thoughts are appreciated (especially if you have a similar set up).

If you don't mind I'll answer you with a question.
What octane gas do you run the most of?
If your answer is XX then go with XX octane performance tune.
If your answer is YY then go with the YY one.
It's that easy!
Personally I run 87 octane. So I went with the 87 octane performance tune, plus a performance tow in the same octane also.
Kept the 93 canned tune level 3 incase I ever wanted to spend alittle extra on gas and have some fun.
IMHO
I also feel the gryphon is a great building block incase I ever do a s/c.

I usually run 87 so I'll try the 87 Performance tune. Down the line I may get more.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.:thumbs up yellow:

Make it your first selection on your order form to switch it out with the tranny only tune. Level one hardly anyone uses the tranny only canned tune.
IMO

sent in order. hopefully they get back too me soon:whistle1:

Ah
Now time will start to move real slow as the anticipated wait for the big brown truck day begins!
Congrats!
Lars

thanks, i'll let you know how it turns out. thanks 4 your help:thumbs up yellow:

Nobody has emailed me back yet....Is this because of health problems or what? I will call Monday....:confused:

Reply's to emails seem to be the one weak link in PHP's superb customer service. Part of it is due to the huge volume of emails they get - it becomes fairly easy to forget to reply to one out of hundreds.

The other problem is tied up with spam checkers, both at your end and at their end. A spam filter will now often simply decide a message is spam without notifying ANYONE, and will send the message to the "landfill". This is especially if an email address is one from hotmail or gmail. Those two providers seem to be favorites of spam generators.

I'd followup the email with a PM, or even a FAX, if you don't get a reply.

Well, after several weeks of working, i finally decided i have enough money to order a gryphon. i went ahead and got the 89 performance tune. i used to run 87, but i figure that with this purchase, now is as good of time as any to treat my truck a little better with a higher octane.

Cant wait for it to get here now!!! what kind of time frame do they normally take to send these out? like will i get it before thanksgiving?

If you're ordering a new unit, Corey tries to ship it within 48 hours. It is sent by UPS and you receive a tracking number. But, since she's sick, things may take a bit longer. :shrug:

alright. i ordered it today around noonish and never got an email or anything. so i sent bill a pm, but still havent heard back. wondering if i did everything right... or if everything is just crazy there so things are just kinda backed up and they'll get to things as soon as they can.

You MAY or may not get an email acknowledgment. I know, it would be nice if you did. But, if your credit card gets charged, you KNOW they got the order, and, then I can absolutely guarantee you will get your Gryphon, so much so that I'd be willing to refund the cost of the unit myself if that didn't happen. :yikes2:

Look for a shipping notice in 2-3 days. Hopefully, there won't be any delay.

- Jack

only thing is i never put in my credit card details anywhere. i filled out the pdf order form with my billing address, shipping address, and all the truck specs, then emailed that. Gryphon for free? Yes please. :woot:

Ah, I don't know for sure, but you may not get anything with that approach. Let us know if you do! :)

- Jack

wait. so did i order it wrong? i went to php.com and clicked order forms, then gas gryphon, filled it all out, saved it, then emailed it to corey's email that was on the form. :shrug:

:shrug:i did exactly the same thing a week ago. followed the instructions but have yet to get an invoice or give credit card information....i understand corey is sick and that's who i sent it to. will fax the order form tonight. i also called but couldn't reach anyone. c'mon php, i got cash help me spend it.

Oh heck! Sorry, bconnaway and mediumfast. I just reviewed the order form and I see Corey's changed it. :o I've got to learn how to keep up with the times, but I'm an old dog and I don't learn new tricks easily!

You both did fine. I guess you'll just have to wait for Corey to get well enough to "process" your order and provide you with the payment details. Sorry for the confusion!

- Jack

Im in the same vote as the other two. I sent in order form last Thursday and haven't heard back yet?

Corey emailed me the invoice today and I paid for it. I imagine it will be shipped soon.

Thanks,:2thumbs:

Just be patient guys!
She's ill and can only do so much.

Got my invoice as well. hope tobe gettin a package in the mail in the near future now! :happy-dancing:

Just got a shipping notice from UPS. It is scheduled for delivery on Dec. 3rd. I know I'm up in WA. but that's pretty slow....Guess I get to exercise patience....Glad it's on the way tho:whistle1:

I think Lars nailed it when he called UPS, "Pony Express" :giggle: Not only is it slow, but it costs more and, it won't deliver to a PO box. But, in Corey's defense, it does make package pickups, which is a BIG deal for PHP. They don't have enough time for everything as it is, and couldn't afford the additional time needed to run packages to the post office for mailing.

Just knowing it's on the way is a relief. I hope you guys are feeling better. Have a good Thanksgiving.:)

Just got mine in today. Hooked it up. and :bow:! love it!!!

Getting mine on the Eighth same as my wife's B day. Looks like we'll both be getting presents.:thumbs up yellow:

Got my Gryphon and hooked it up tonight. All I can say is DAMMMM!!!! Last weekend I had my wife hand time 0-60 and the best I could do was 9.64 with barely any tire spin. I just clocked a 7.68 and smoked the tires for at least 2 seconds!!! That's using the 93 octane performance tune on dry pavement. This was just a shake down run tonight. I will do more testing in the coming days. Can't wait for my custom tune:):happy-dancing:

Sounds good guys!
Just remember be safe.
Also remember to fill out you hex/calibration code and serial number in your user cp.

What other mods have you done to your truck.

Besides the programmer and dual exhaust my truck is stock. The difference between stock and the canned performance tune is extremely impressive. It's a whole different feeling when you put your foot into the gas peddle. The shifts are also much more aggressive.

When my custom tune comes I will do a little more performance testing then I will start to focus on what I got it for in the first place....to get better mileage.:yikes2:
