| Phoenix Switch-On-The-Fly Chip (DISCOUNTINUED) (Disabled) Power Hungry no longer sells the Phoenix/TS chip, but if you need custom tuning we can recommend a few really good tuners that will be able to still provide tuning and support for your chip. If you have any other questions or comments about the Phoenix/TS chip, please post it here. |

In all honesty, I believe that the Phoenix would be great. The Gryphon isn't "switch on the fly" capable. On the other hand, the Phoenix will have "tunes" put on it, but it can't be fine-tuned by the end user like the Gryphon can.
I'm not sure about what someone would do with more than 2-3 tunes on a gasoline-powered rig since up to 6 are available on the Phoenix, but I know that the same tunes that are available for the Gryphon are also available for the Phoenix.

I agree with not needing more than 2-3 on a gasser. I have a tow tune and one for when I'm not towing. Then, I return it to stock whenever it visits the dealer. I HAVE appreciated the ability to "fine tune" the normal shift points and torque converter lockup points, and some other things. Still, shift on the fly WOULD be nice too.

Yeah I think shift on the fly is the big advantage to the Phoenix. you can always put that little stop washer in the TS chip on positions 3 or 4 for example and make the switch only have 4 positions... Do they still make the 4 position TS switch and have the fixed the issues with the TS chip itself that I have seen mentioned elsewhere

Yeah, the Phoenix does not have to have 6 positions. It can be 1-5 as well with the stop washer as DJ said.
As I understand it, the 4 position is no longer available and the 6 position is still a hit or miss....but I have my own suspicions as to why.

If anyone reading this and is considering this product and are bummed about not getting a display. Your problem is solved with Scan Gauge(approx $150). True like others have said before there is no fine tuning with the chip but I think the switch on the fly is a great trade off. Pretty cool!
