Installed Programer today!!

MAN IDK Why I didn't do this sooner...........

What a differance!!

Picked up a Edge Evo Cheap works great looks new!

Plan to upgrade to the Gryphon in time. If I'm this happy now

I can only imagine how happy I'll be when I can upgrade it!!

So i know most people say the same but just had to share the joy I'm feeling.

Oh and for those of you that say it didn't happen if there's no pic.

HERE YOU GO:

LOL.... Yeah I hadn't moved the truck just yet.

Installed it set all my programs and snaped the picture!

I don't know what it says after I got back from lunch though...

I was having to much fun feeling the firmer shifts
By the time I got back i had to hop out and run back into work.

Yea, absolutely love my Gryphon. As a matter of fact I need to see if Bill and Corey have calmed down as I know they were swamped, if so I think its time for some custom tunes. Congrats on the new addition.

I am new tp this style truck. I have seen tuners make a major difference (Audi S4 twin turbo) and not much (05 mustang gt). Does it make the truck run $500 better? Or is it mostly just the trans?

on level 2 and 3 you will notice not only better trans. shifting but better throttle response and alot better acceleration.

There are hundreds of posts (in this forum alone) declaring user's satisfaction with good hardware and custom tunes.

More lasting value than $500 worth of

With custom tuning you can expect 35-50 more horespower to the tires, firmer shifts (no lag), and safer air/fuel ratios in the engine. Find a used Xcal and call up Troyer or VMP and you can have it for ~$300 as well.

Well I'm still loving it!!

So is my Dad LOL I went to his house over the weekend to pick him up for a car show I drove he was in awww over the differance.

Now he want's one!

He's got a 08 F350 SD with a 5.4L

What's out there for a programmer for him?

Was looking but don't see an edge for the 5.4 gas motor.

He'd like to have it dash mounted as well...
