Generally not. There are just some shifting characteristics that are often less desirable. For example, some calibrations don't lock the converter in 2nd gear or won't lock the converter in 4th at full throttle. It's not a problem, per se, but just an annoyance for some folks.
On the 85 tow - will it get the best mileage out of all the tows, since that is the weight range I will be in? I don't think I will ever be over 4000 lbs much less up to 10,000
If less than 4000#, The 80 Towing would provide the best overall fuel economy. In fact, you would probably just as easily be able to use the 80 Daily Driver as the shift strategy would be better suited for economy and at the load you indicated, it's not a significant strain.
How about the Fuel-Sipper?
No longer offered. Too many complaints of sluggish performance due to the lowered shift strategy.
Should I consider having you do a custom tune for the gryphon based on what I have said, or go with one of your stock ones?
Just like with the Phoenix chips, all stock tunes to some degree are still custom. You still get the first download included with your purchase that gives you a choice from the available calibrations. These are built to the specifications of the vehicle (modified injectors, turbos, or dual HPOP systems will require an additional custom charge).
Whats turn around on a a Gryphon right now?
The Gryphon with canned tunes is usually 24 hours. Custom files (including standard custom files) are 2 to 4 weeks.
If we tweak tunes, you email them to me and I can load them to the Gryphon or do I send it back?
Calibrations are provided on our server to be downloaded using the Pegasus Update Client. (Instruction are here: Pegasus Installation and Update Instructions)
Do you sell any intakes, looking at the S&B but did not see any on your site. I know a lot of people do the Napa DIY - but I rather have a cleaner engineered one.
No, we do not sell any bolt on performance parts. We deal strictly with the electronics performance end of things.
Thanks for answering all this on the forum. I felt it would be well suited here so others can find the information versus calling/emailing.

I appreciate you posting. It does help others who have identical questions but aren't sure what exactly to ask.
Take care.

 Windows™ Vista and  Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
 Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
 Windows™ 11 is garbage!
Much to my surprise, I'm actually quite enjoying Linux!
