Default That thing got a Gryphon? Sweeeeeeeet!

Got my Gryphon this afternoon. Of course, even though UPS had it yesterday morning at the terminal, I didn't see it until close to 5:00 this afternoon; but so far, I can say good things come to those who wait.

Nice job on the tune Bill! THANK YOU! I gave it a pretty good mix of driving (and rental car-like beating) on the 87 tune and I noticed a nice difference, pretty much across the board. I don't know how much you changed shifting parameters, but it certainly seems improved over the canned tuning. I don't think I got belt chirp shifting to third before.... Certainly not without altering the stock settings; and I had them bumped up before. Yet, it's not harsh by any means, just nice and quick. I may play with them a bit eventually; but I have to careful there, I have rods in my neck from surgery two years ago, and the shifting snap was causing a little nerve pinch before .... not at all this time, just about perfect now!
I'll also say it seems to pull pretty darn well once it gets rolling ( need gears); and on any downshift, especially to 2nd, it pulls strong!

Hopefully tomorrow I can finish off the 87 in the tank and start feeding it some 93, I'm anxious to see the difference.

It's certainly nice to have a good running truck again! Throttle response....YEAH!!!!! I was beginning to forget what that was like.

Thanks for the mints Corey! Hope the family enjoys the weekend! Thanks much for the prompt service!
