I would like to have the transmission strategy exactly like the 87 performance edge canned tune, and more timing than the edge canned tune.
I loved the way the transmission shifted with the canned 87 performance canned tune.Edge does not offer an 87 Performance tune. I assume you mean the 87 Tow tune (level 2).
I just wanted the timing curves to be a little more aggressive and the other standard items like rear O2 sensors turned off and speedo corrected, etc. Which I assume have not given you any problems.
When I got it, my converter was going in and out, so I had you lock that out until a certain speed, but now its killing what little gas mileage I had. Which is why "lock-up" torque converters are used. To increase fuel efficiency by transmitting all of the engine power to the transmission. I assume your transmission temps are a bit higher too now. I simply did what you asked for in that regard.
I paid the extra money for the gryphon, above the edge, because I wanted a tune that did everything the edge tune did, and more. I don't know what to do next. I'd like someone to call me so I can explain exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm making you a brand new program as soon as I finish typing this. It will be based on the canned Edge 87 Tow program with your necessary modifications made for your truck. Let me know how it works. I will post here when it's finished.
