Can i get an Edge with performance program and NO chg to tranny??
 
I have had my Edge for a couple years and really liked the level 3 program - aside from the power gain i really liked how it made the tranny much more eager to shift/respond. I was pointed to this site and don't know too much about "custom" tunes.

Now, I just blew my transmission and the new one has heavier compononts and a "shift kit" in it. With stock tune it shifts similar to Edge 3 tune. Problem is, when i load Edge3 tune the shifts are way too firm, esp the 3-4 where it's like hitting a pothole thump ! Can a custom tune give me Edge3 power and no change to transmission ? (At the most i wouldn't mind being able to raise the shift points a few mph)
ps - I did try the custom tune3 and bump the shift firmness down to minus 25 on all gears and it's still too firm (hardly noticed a difference)
thanks in advance.

Shift kit?
Or
Valve body?
Which one?
If you are having that hard of shifts I'm sure Bill could accomodate your request.

Thank you 88 - I just called the tranny shop. they installed a Transgo shift kit in my existing valve body.. . . my tranny is a 4R75W. ... if that answers your questions below? i have no mods except Edge with 6"lift & 35's and do no towing or off-road (i'm a mechanical contractor)

So, I don't understand much about these programmers but I will be happy if i can get the power program with no influence on tranny.
thanks again.

ps - Do you think i'll need to ship my entire edge to Bill or will it be an emailable program?

To upgrade to the Gryphon, you will need to ship your Edge to PHP.

I would wait until their family situation has settled down and make sure you insure it!

Bill has actually talked about this situation a bit in the past. he would write your custom tunes with "adjustments" to the transmission elements that would take your new transmission components into account. My guess is, he wouldn't really leave that part at a "stock" setting, but he would NOT apply the same line pressure strategies that custom tunes normally have.

I suspect the line pressures are too high with the new components and a "tune".
