I am looking for some custom tunes for my 2007 F-150 4x4, the 3 tunes already loaded onto the Edge are pretty sweet, but I am looking for more. I am unsure what points to change...

Anyone willing to give me their custom tune, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Getting your Edge upgraded to a Gryphon will be your best bet, to get what your looking for out of it.

Contact PHP and they will walk you through what you will need.

I don't see how anyone can give you one of their own custom tunes, because they are just that, CUSTOM. Custom to each individual truck.

 

First, not sure if you are asking for custom settings or truly asking for custom tunes. Custom settings, you do yourself. Custom tunes have to be done by a tune writer and the only company that offers custom tunes for the Edge is www.powerhungryperformance.com. You have to send your Edge in and it's converted to the Gryphon. Then Bill will write custom tunes to match your needs.

 

Sorry guys, I am just looking for custom settings on my edge, I am not looking to send my Edge away for custom "tuning".

 

On level 3, be sure to bump the timing up if you run higher than 91 octane. I ran 93, so I bumped mine up +1.25. Go up at least .5 for each octane.

shift pressure= +12, +12, +9
WOT shift points= 5250, 5250, 4800
Max RPMs= 5650
WOT Fuel= + 1.60
Speed limiter= 110
Be sure to set you gears and tires correctly

 

Jim,
I've been meaning to ask you about these custom settings. Is it worth it to change these settings if I have a custom tune?

 

NOOO! That is why you have custom tunes. I guess, if the shifts are not as firm as you like, you might adjust the pressure a little. But once I got the custom tunes, the only settings I have changed is tires size. I would not mess with anything else, especially timing. Bill has all that set.

 

Thank you...Bill may have set my tire size while he was making the custom tune because with my 34" tires, the Gryphon MPH is dead nuts with my GPS.

I haven't looked into the settings to see if the GR is correct or tire size has been changed.

 

I switch back and forth with wheels and tires, so I have to set the tires. If your speedo is correct, then your gears and tires have to be correct. Sounds as if you are just plug in and go.

 

what exactly does WOT stand for or mean and are these settings for a custom tune. im thinkin of buying a programer but not sure on the cai yet. the only mod to my truck is k&n filter in factory air box , removal of muffler by adding a delete pipe, and going from 255/70/ r17 to mickey thompson baja atz 305/65 r17 on a set of pro comp polished 1089 rims. any suggestions and explainations of settings would help considering im not real mechanicley inclined and dont understand alot of this.

 

WOT means Wide Open Throttle. If you get a CAI, you really should get custom tunes. There is some risk of running lean without a tune, plus you really do not get full benefit of the CAI without a tune written for it. The Edge is for a stock intake, so with a CAI, you need either the custom tuned Gryphon from PHP or the Xcal3 from Troyer.

 

WOT is "Wide Open Throttle" and you are considered to be at WOT anytime your throttle position is above a certain point. Bill Cohron at PHP adjusts the WOT position to be in the 90-94% open range. The PCM goes into an "open loop" mode at WOT, which means, among other things, that there's no feedback mechanism to try to keep the air/fuel mixture from being too rich. You DO run richer at WOT, which gives you more power, and increases your emissions.

A CAI has the potential for making your engine run too lean, which is harmful to it. If you DO get a CAI, I think you should also get a programmer with custom tunes written that will compensate for that CAI.

Before you spend a lot of money on "gadgets" that sound good for your truck, you should spend time becoming educated on the mechanical aspects of internal combustion engines. Some of the things people buy benefit only the manufacturer of the "gadget".

For instance, why are you changing your tires and rims? Is it for power? For economy? Or is it for looks?

One other thing, you need to calculate the difference in height of the tires to know if the speedo will be off, and how much. You may need to get the speedo recalibrated. That is another good reason for a tuner. They give you the ability to enter your tire size and recalibrate.

If you don't know the tire size difference, there is a good calculator on this site.

i have decided against the cold air intake do to the cost,aswell as the fact that research has shown cai opperates the same as factor intill they reach about 3500 rpm or greater and then its only about 8 hp. i cant see myself spending 300 bucks for 8 hp and more throttle responce and adding a tunner on top of that. why not just buy tuner and achieve the same effect and spend the 300 buck for the cold air intake somewhere else. aithough there are lots of programmers out there the research i have done on the net and calling to customer service with questoins. in my oppinion the gryphon seems to be top dog for the f150 and to top it off cs at php is super and can quickly answer questions without putting you on hold to reach a tech.PHP your awsome and with service like that competition should be scared!!!!

 

You've learned well, young grasshoppa! Now, you can do this inexpensive mod along with your tuner and you will be happy!
