Hi again Kirt -

I think it is quite likely there has been a problem since the beginning, and, as Ford finds out about these things, they often come up with fixes, which in this case, may be a reflash.

Regardless - I'd return the tune to stock and then remove the Gryphon. (Do this any time you take your truck to the dealer)! Tell him what your problem is and then ask if he knows if there are any TSBs, possibly involving PCM reflashes, that might help? I really doubt Ford tuned in a "lag", at least not one from a standing start, if that's what you have.

The computer driven throttle has been with us since at least 2004, maybe earlier. My truck has it. I used to have a lag in downshifts during passing. That went away with my Gryphon. I never had any kind of lag from a standing start.

If I'm not understanding something, please try to re-explain your problem.
