CS & CTS for '09-'10, How about some updated stats???

2009KR · #1 09-07-2010, 08:28 PM

Now that the CS & CTS are out for the '09-'10, could you provide some updated stats? A dyno run before and after with various tunes like the one done in January 2009 would be very nice. It is not clear that the results of the production version will be the same as the 01/09 test - many have posted on various forums that there is not a big power increase for a stock '09-'10 5.4 when tuned. The original dyno charts showed a big difference. I would also appreciate the first group of folks that install these to post how it impacted their mileage, 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc.

Thanks in advance!

(p.s. I posted this to PHP's forum, but didn't get any response.)

No stats, yet. I will have mine tomorrow however

I will at least be able to allow you to know if it makes a difference!

EDIT: Have been running mine on level 3 which is set for 91 octane and I have to admit I get a chubby everytime I drive it. Currently I have not had any issues with the tune working in conjunction with the CAI and magnaflow which is a nice thing. Zero alerts/codes as of yet showing up in the diagnostics and the roll stability issues has been completely fixed as well now that the computer is set for 36.9" tires and 4.88 gearing. Also, I can do something I was not able to do prior to the tune, spin out 37's

Simple pic of it installed and what you would see from the drivers seat:

UPS stole everyone's package?

dlsipe1 · #9 09-10-2010, 04:36 PM

Hopefully you get out for a rip this evening and do up a little review for everyone! Can't wait for mine, picking it up at the border next Friday.

I guess nobody has positive news??

It is pretty nice. I loaded the towing (level 2) program and it is definitely more responsive and has better WOT power than before. Drove it to WV last night to burn the 87 octane gas out of it (and party with my old college buddy) and filled it up with 93 octane, then reprogrammed to level 3. Runs great! Tranny shifts are firm, but not overly harsh. It did, however knock and ping a little under WOT. Guess I'll have to retard the timing a little. Overall nice, but can't wait to get Bill's tunes from PHP. They made a nice difference on the Gryphon I used on my 06 vs the canned tunes. I am hoping his magic will work on this truck too.

Installed my Edge/Gryphon CTS last Friday. Running canned tunes on my 09 5.4L until PHP finishes my custom tunes (87 performance, 87 towing); I'll leave the canned 93 performance alone.

Installation went well (I did update via Fusion first) and it only took 10-15 minutes to program to level 1; I thought I read the SCT XCAL3 takes 45 minutes.

DBW/torque limit is noticeably better as are the shifts. Haven't driven enough to know about MPG. I don't drive my truck hard, so I won't be a a good butt dyno reporter.

Other questions that I might be able to answer?

EDIT: For those going with the Gryphon, you might want to read this.
