And Robby, I want to emphasize something that my not have been clear. When you PROGRAM the PCM with any device, you change the stored program in it. Disconnecting the battery does not have ANY effect on that stored program. Once the program is in the PCM, it's there till you rewrite it with another programming session. To put the PCM back to stock, you have to do it with the Hypertech, in fact you MUST do this before you try to program it with any different device, such as a Gryphon, Edge, X3 or whatever. If you don't set the PCM back to stock first, you will damage it by attempting to impress a new program on to it.

So, set your PCM to stock and see if it still has the throttle lag. If there is no lag at stock, why not try calling Hypertech to see if they have any ideas? They have an obligation to support you - make them do it.

As far as the Gryphon curing this problem, we can only tell you our experience. There are NO promises though. Remember the disclaimer: "Your mileage may vary". IF you get custom tunes in the Gryphon though, I know Bill can make adjustments to minimize or eliminate any problem areas.

I also want to correct something Lars said. I think he meant to say that the initial program only takes about 10-15 seconds to load, not minutes. Subsequent tunes don't take any longer either unless you activate the Custom Options menu - then it WILL take a couple minutes.

But, before you try a Gryphon, let Hypertech try to work your problem! I know Bill and Corey would give you the same advice. They don't like to see anyone spend money on things they don't need anymore than you do.

- Jack
