Edge to Gryphon
I recently purchased my edge evolution programmer. Sadly i heard about the gryphon after the fact. My question is, how much will it cost me to upgrade my edge to the gryphon and also get a custom tune on it. I have a 2004 Ford F150 FX4 5.4L with a magnaflow catback exhaust and soon a cold air intake but not sure what one yet. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

How much of a difference would it make if i just upgraded to the gryphon with the canned tunes? is it worth me spending the money for the custom tunes especially with the cold air intake i and thinking about purchasing? and in you opinions what cold air intake would you go with?

Your model year truck (and mine) tend to run lean with a commercial CAI and a canned tune from any source. Bill can write a custom tune that will correct this. If you buy any commercial CAI, you need custom tuning.
You can save big money and get the benefits of a CAI without the lean problem if you do a "Gotts" mod to your stock CAI. There's a thread about it and some other variations on this forum. The Gryphon's canned tunes are somewhat better than those on the Edge, according to Power Hungry Performance. I can't give you specifics, because I have never compared the two. I use custom tunes exclusively. - Jack |

I think you may have missed the point. Using a commercial CAI on your truck will make your engine run too lean which is NOT a good thing. If you use the "Gotts" mod, you will save some money and not run into the lean condition.
If you feel you need the commercial CAI, there are a number of threads extolling the virtues of all of them. However, it is strongly advised to have a custom tune with a programmer and avoid possible engine damage from running too lean. Another aspect not mentioned, is a number of the CAI units can cause a drone which can be quite annoying. This can also be all but eliminated with a custom tune.
