So, it sounds like I'm just looking at the Gotts and a Gryphon.

Touching on gears and tires, changing either will not have any affect on how the custom tunes are written for the truck?
Yes, once the tune is loaded into your truck's PCM, the Gryphon can be removed. It is just a passive display device for parameters that can be fed to it though the OBDII port.

I, and many others, including Bill Cohron at PHP recommend the Gotts mod over a commercial CAI.

Changing gears and tires will not affect your tunes. You WILL, however, enter the new Tire Size and Gear Ratio when you upload a tune to your truck so that it will shift at the right speeds and to correct your speedometer and odometer.
