With that said if you order custom tunes from bill if you ask for 87 octane performance on level 1 all he can tune is shift points?

NO NO NO ! I was speaking about Edge canned tunes. Level one is only a shift tune, level 2 is a tow tune and level 3 is a performance tune. Bill can put whatever tune you want in any of the 1, 2, 3, positions.

I ordered his 87 Perf tune and his 93 Perf tune. I had him move the Edge canned level 2 over to the number 1 position for a towing tune and his 87 Perf is now my level 2 and his 93 Perf is now my level 3. That was just how I wanted it.

Can you keep the canned tunes saved just in case (for whatever reason) you want them back on the unit?

Gotcha! Getting ready to order mine and just wanted to make sure.. I would have ordered it yesterday but for some reason my odobe reader will not let me save a pdf file and my printer was out of ink to fax it. Just got the ink today will be placing the order today.

My understanding is that there is room for 4 tunes of which one must be your stock tune. So, room for only 3 other tunes. Frankly, I cannot see why you would ever want to go back to a canned tune, Bill's tunes are that much better. Maybe there is a way to save them on a disk, I do not know. Bill could answer that.

I may not be Bill, but I CAN answer this one! The first time you program your vehicle, the Gryphon displays three usable calibrations. The first time you PROGRAM, it reads the factory calibration from the vehicle and stores that in a "fourth" position. This fourth position is not a tune, per se, but is your stock program.

Hope this helps!

You could write down and reset all the "canned tune" defaults that can be user adjusted. These are things like idle rpm, timing advance, WOT shift points, etc., but, unless I'm horribly mistaken, reverting to those later (after loading a custom tune) will not give you back your "canned tune". The custom tune does many things you have no control over. It reprograms the PCM to control the truck in ways that go beyond those user settings. I'm guessing here, but perhaps things like the fuel-air mixture ratio across the RPM curve or the actual dynamic spark advance curve. There are probably other things as well.

Now anyone, am I mistaken?
