Other benefits you'd gain are the ability to make your truck's speedometer read correctly for the larger tires and, indirectly, your shift points would be where they should be according to speed. Custom tunes will put those shift points where they should be for the effective gear ratio you have now with the larger tires.

You'll get a horsepower increase and probably somewhat better gas mileage too. Add to that the ability to monitor things like transmission fluid temperatures and battery charging voltage, etc. and you have a pretty worthwhile mod. All told, I would not give up my Gryphon for anything.

You'll definitely noticed better power performance hands down but as far as gas mileage goes, well, lets just say good luck on keepin' your foot out of it

After having the Gryphon, I wouldn't give it up either.
