I ordered my Gryphon on February 3rd.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the product so far and service has been fine, but when I have a friend order tunes from another company and get them the next day I start to feel a little...

He got them next day???? Makes me wonder how much time and development went into them......

Just throwing it out there.... I once saw a guy selling SCT's on ebay. SO i clicked on his link to see what else he had and he was selling custom tunes for $.99... Yeah!!! 99 cents!!!! Anyone can write them but it takes years of knowledge and experiance to write great ones.

I ordered mine on the 13th of febuary.

I went back and looked. THe guy had ordered them on jan 31 and he got them three weeks ago. So it cant be to much longer.

It was from one of the reputable tuners, but it doesn't matter so there is no need to post who here. The normal wait he said was like four or six weeks, but for a small fee he expedited his and had them the next day. I would have gladly done that, still would for that matter.

One of the things we know about PHP, is - they don't play favorites and, you cannot "buy" faster service. You simply go into a queue when you order your tune (and send the hex code) and then, you get it when it's your turn.

I know of only one time they violated this approach. Bill moved a guy up in the queue because he was about to be deployed to Iraq. Seems a nice thing for them to have done (in my opinion).

One of our Moderators here, Lars, is still waiting on his tunes too! He's been waiting a long time.

Ha! Not true. If you buy a used Edge and send it in to be upgraded to a Gryphon and order custom tunes for it you can get your Gryphon back tuned in a week or two. I was told that from the Boss herself, so there is a way to buy faster service from PHP, just wish I knew about it before I ordered a new one.

Anyway, still not complaining, just looking for some answers since I was told they would be ready last week and haven't heard anything since...

You are "partially right". Yes, you do get the custom tunes faster this way, but you are without the programmer and operating your vehicle at stock the entire time your unit is with PHP. And, you ARE in a queue here too. It just happens to be a different queue than the one where you have your unit, and are able to use its canned tunes.

Bill and Corey found they had fewer difficulties if they loaded the custom tunes into your converted unit before returning it than if they returned the unit immediately and then posted the tunes later. Corey also said they would "revisit" this discrepancy in the wait time if it started to look like it was becoming an issue with people.

And, one thing that would cause them to stop returning the "converted" units with tunes installed would be for them to see people flooding them with Edges to be "converted", hoping to get faster service.

Now, if you are really looking for answers, please DO PM Corey. The forum is really not the place to try to put "pressure" on them.

Done that. I have three outstanding PM's to Corey over the last week that haven't been answered.
