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.

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

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?
