Jack thanks for the correction but what I was refering to is this.

When initially programming the custom options menu with canned tunes that this feature of the gryphon may take some time. Like with tire size and gear ratio and or shift points/firmness if so needed.

You're quite right, but I don't recall it taking 10-15 minutes, ever! However, it DOES have to "build" the "restore to stock" files the first time around, so it can take longer than subsequent tunes. I just didn't want anyone to get scared off thinking they were going to lose a big portion of their life watching the first programming session.

However, since there's only ONE first time, maybe I just remembered it wrong! My rapidly fading brain cells may have let me down again!

Thanks guys for all your input. You guys on this site have been awesome in helping with my questions...THANK YOU.

I realize in order to put a new tune I have to remove the old one. I have to sell my Hypertech after getting the Gryphon so I have to restore the tune back to stock for the tuner to tune a different vehicle.

What are the canned tunes for the Gryphon? Is the Gryphon exactly the same as the Edge but with better tunes? Have the same features? I have an intake (Airaid) and a 3" single exhaust. Will that work with canned tunes or will custom tunes be needed? I am trying to find a stock intake to do the Gotts mod and hopefully get cooler air so will that make a difference in what tune is needed?

Is the mounting pod the same as the Edge or is it a different design. I can't really tell from the picks I've seen online. They look exactly the same in some pics and different in other pics. I don't want it to intrude with the instrument panel opening.

I think all you need is an 87 performance/economy tune. I think you'll probably see better mileage and performance compared to the Hypertech.
