edge evo question - Page 2

I have an '06 f150 4x4 5.4 bought the evo 3 months ago, and I'm not seeing the impact others have, Bill and I have spoken about this, he's a hell of a nice guy

, I want to upgrade to gryphon and just use their stock tunes because the only upgrades I have are kn drop in and flowmaster muffler only, these stock tunes are better than evo stock, correct?

Or could I go into my evo myself and customize certain things like Std Shift, Timing, Torq, Not knowing really what I'm changing sounds like a mistake though

any thoughts, anyone

Edge and Gryphons have the same canned tunes.

You could go about doing the adjustments but it wouldn't be the full effect that custom tunes could offer. For example your slot 3 right now is a 93 performance canned tune. What if you could only had 87 oct available? You going to run slot 2 tow canned tune? It would be much better to run a 87 custom performance tune. These custom tunes wake the truck up even more! Some of our other members will post some other words of advice for you also! any thoughts, anyone

Lars pretty much covered it.

But, I sure noticed a difference when I first installed an Evo (that is now a Gryphon)! The slow downshifting when passing was gone and the upshifts were much quicker and more precise too. In addition, my fuel economy improved.

Then with custom tunes, I saw even more improvement.

Perhaps your custom option settings are not optimum. What values are you using there? And, look through this post on the Custom Options menu: http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...ead.php?t=1101 What I wrote there applies to the Edge as well as the Gryphon.
