Are you making sure your tire size is correctly identified in the programmer? If not, that will skew your numbers!

.....I never tried it on the canned Gryphon tunes, but when I was running my Edge Evo on the canned level 2 (tow tune).......I believe I only ran a 7.78. This was also before my truck was truely broken in.

Now that my truck is nicely broken in.........I can run that (or better) on stock tune!

These trucks aren't as slow as a lot of people make them out to be!

I haven't gotten mine yet, should be here tomorrow , but I plan on checking the difference in the times from stock to canned tunes then once my custom tunes come in checking again. Yeah, these trucks are quite a bit faster than people make them out to be. Especially when you go from a 2.3L Ranger to the 5.4L F-150 lol.

What is broken in? My 08' just got to 20k, is it safe to assume that is broken in?

Haha, yeah I'm in the same boat, I went from a 94 2.3 ranger with 33's to the 4.6 F-150, feels like a rocket ship to me

I drove the Ranger to work yesterday because the F-150 was at the shop getting an exhaust system put on (Flowmaster 40 series SI/DO), and I felt like the Ranger was working really hard to drive 60-65 mph, feels a lot different lol.

Yeah I drove mine the other day and it felt sooo slow, and with it being a stick was funny to drive again. I think the top speed on my Ranger was 80 downhill haha

Just 2 more days and I can finally place my order for the Gryphon. Seriously can't wait.

[Circuit]

Best 0-60 as of right now is 9.12 on Gryphon stock level 2 but I can't find a place to do it without getting major wheel spin which makes my foot let up a bit without me thinking.

Once I get as much of this 87 octane out I'll be filling it up with 94 and setting it to level 3... then I might have to buy some new tires...

Oh and the belt chirp is awesome at wot when shifting. I have never owned a vehicle that was as fast as this thing is now. I forgot I had a V8 under the hood. I used to have a 1976 Chev C20 with a 350 and my little 281 Windsor out does it hands down now.

Yup....... My truck became noticeably more lively starting about 15k or so.....(even on stock tune)!

Another 4.6 guy over here.

My 0-60 is closer to 10 seconds I think !

Also on a 6" lift, and running 3.73 gears, true 35" tires load range E (heavy SOB's !) 18" rims, and no real power mods yet. Too many other projects going on right now.

If its dry when I get home, might hop in the truck to see what I can get. Been awhile.

5.4 in mine and did a 0-60 run got a 8.6X with 35's and 3.73 gearing yet the tire size was set at 23XX which is wrong so it should be better.
