I have the gryphon for my 7.3l and to reiterate some of what was said, it does come with 3 tunes plus your stock which equals 4. It does come with a dash mount pod. Mine was already colored to match my tan interior, and it is capable to be used for gauges including egt. BTW it comes with a thermocoupler probe as well so you don't have to get anything else with this unit. I was in the same boat as yourself and went with the gryphon and it works great for me
oh ya as a bonus you can read dtc codes too
