I don't know that anyone has published dyno results for the Gryphon, which is odd, when you think about it. One of our members was going to publish comparisons between the Gryphon and X3 a long time ago, but that never happened.

Bill DID publish a dyno graph in this forum about a year ago I think when he went to Edge to help them with their software for the 09 trucks. It was definitely an improvement over stock. For some reason, Edge has been super slow getting an Evolution out for 09-10 trucks and now I suspect they won't bother since they're pushing the CS and CTS units.

i was just wondering if the 35hp that edge claims is a good reference........with the mods i have.. i put my engine at around 367'ish and my torque at 432'ish

I got those numbers from all of the dealer's websites for my CAI, exhaust, etc...

No one has seen any dyno results for 2004 - 2008 5.4's with a gryphon???

While you are definitely higher than stock

, you can't determine your total hp by simply adding the hp for each individual mod.

I recall a Groovy Chick post where she said that if you have a programmer with a custom tune and then add an intake, you will only get about 1/2 the intake hp. She didn't offer a detailed explanation, but she did say it came from the Mad Doctor.

Also remember that most time the mod 'advertised numbers' are at the crank, not RWHP.

Take your estimated flywheel hp, 367 or whatever, minus your transmission losses.. (367 x 0.75 = 275) Subtract a few more for your bigger, heavier tires (?25?) = 250. Reduced aerodynamics from a 6in lift.. (?25?) = 225. That's maybe what you're looking at for RWHP. Hopefully your performance mods are enough to cancel out your "cool factor" mods.

The numbers advertised on the website are at the wheels

· Gains of up to 35 HP and 45 ft/lbs (5.4L 3-Valve engine)
This is the 91-93 oct perf tune.
· Gains of up to 25 HP and 40 ft/lbs (4.6L & 5.4L 2-Valve engine)
This is also a 91-93 oct perf tune.

Adding a CAI to the equation will only get you about 6hp more.
