Thanks for the info Jack. I got the email last night that my tune was done. I downloaded it and programmed it in my truck this morning. No codes and it runs great. I basically just told Bill I wanted an 87 perf for mileage but still have get up and go for passing and such. So far it delivers.
One question though. You had helped me get my Gryphon back to canned tunes and now I ordered the new one. When the Gryphon started in my truck it listed all 3 as custom tunes. Are my previous 3 custom tunes that incorporated my CAI the ones it downloaded? I had requested the new tune be placed in the first slot. How can I make sure that the one I'm running now is the new tune? My truck runs fine and no issues so I would think it is correct because I would expect some sort of problem if it were the CAI tune. My 87 custom perf tune was also in the first slot before so that's why I'm confused. Any ideas?

Here's how it looks:
87 custom perf tune
87 custom tow tune
93 custom perf tune

What ticopowell said is correct. It SOUNDS like you requested a single new tune to be placed in the Level 1 position that would not be written for the CAI? If this is the case, I would expect Bill to create a file with your former Level 2 and 3 tunes unaltered and the new tune in Level 1.

Since you don't have the CAI on now, this is probably not what you want. Which means, you'll probably have to ask Bill to change the file so that the Level 2 and 3 tunes are "canned". But - it's possible he has changed the Level 2 and 3 tunes to your new Gotts configuration too (I can't read his mind). So, I think you really need to ask him what he did here.

However, if you run the Level 1 tune, it should be correct.

You got it all right Jack. That makes sense about the tow tune and 93 tune being unaltered, just the first tune would have changed. As far as the other 2 tunes go, I will eventually order an new tow tune to replace the old one. Like you said though, maybe I won't have to in case Bill changed my tunes already to work with the Gotts. I'll have to contact him to find out.

Thanks for all your help guys, really appreciate it.

To anyone else reading this.....

Another thing to try is a battery disconnect.

This will clear old fuel trims that sometimes are still there after the flashing of the pcm with a new tune....

Set your truck back to stock.
Unplug Gryphon.
Disconnect battery.
Turn headlights on for 5-10 minutes.
Turn headlights back off.
Reconnect battery.
Plug Gryphon back in.
Drive 50-100 miles while at stock level.
Then reload the tune....

In addition....
Clean your maf
Clean your tb
Change your fuel filter.....

We meet again Shadow! Somehow, I'm not surprised. I am willing to wager we have the same Hex code.

I just got my Gryphon back, downloaded my 87 custom tune, plugged it in the truck and took off for a run. Any guesses on the code I threw...twice? Both times in the same situation, punchin' it off the line.

Anyway, I'm gonna follow the instructions laid out in the previous post as that makes sense to me.

I'll be back...

Close on hex codes but off in the last digit.....

This seems to be a 4.6 2v thing....

No dice. Truck still throws the same p061b error. Maybe a new poll for how many times people have thrown their truck into limp mode...I'm somewhere in the 20's now. With the Edge it was the p061f, now it's the p061b with the Gryphon. It's always the same scenario. Getting on the throttle off the line, truck lurches forward and bang, truck throws error and goes into limp mode. FRUSTRATED!
