Going to Custom Tunes

I just got my Xcal 3 from Justin on Friday, I'm currently using a Diablosport tuner should I run the truck stock for awhile and then run the new tuner or can I just make the switch without worrying about anything.

I just want to make sure before I make the switch.

You don't have to run it, but you do need to return it to stock, so that the stock program is in the PCM when you plug up the Xcal3.

Hash, How do you like the tunes so far? I'm in the market for custom tunes as well. i'd like the php tunes cause they can just use the edge i already have, but I think the wait is going to be too much.

You do realize don't you, that they reskin your Edge and send it right back to you? The wait is for the email containing the custom tunes.

So they email you the tunes, I did not know that! I was under the impression it took at least 1-2 weeks to get it reskinned and the tunes on it. I have been trying to get in contact with them, but have had no luck. I know they are busy so its not really a big deal.

It's just hard for me to have the truck down for long at all since it's my only daily driver

I'am still interested in how you like the VMP tunes though, I know thumper liked them.

Right now I believe they are still holding on to the updated edge and putting the custom tunes on it before send it back to you. Link.... http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...read.php?t=817

They have a forum on their web site. I bet if you go join that forum, you can communicate with them quicker.

Right now I'm running the truck stock, I've been busy with work and school and I'll be out of town this weekend so I'll find out first thing Monday morning how it is......

I'll keep you updated

1- Fill out the Upgrade Form. It is an Adobe file and can be filled out online and saved for your records. When completed, print the form and sign it.
2- Program your truck back to stock.
3- Send the form and your programmer AND OBDII cable to us. If your programmer is for a truck from 2004 or later, we DO NOT need the cable. Our address is on the Order form.
4- When it arrives, we will change the case from the gray/black one to an all black one (Edge had them made for us by the same company that makes theirs). We will also update the firmware at this time. Please be aware that some of the features exclusive to the Gryphon cannot be used on older Evos. Also, if you have a programmer with version number E3.XX.XX or E4.XX.XX, we cannot adjust the menu.
5- The Upgrade, itself, is $25.00; shipping is usually around $10-$15, depending on where you live.
6- You will need to download Pegasus, our Client Server, which can be found on our website. (It is similar to Edge's Lightning and Fusion.)
7- All Gryphons can hold up to three files with the exception of the 6.0L, which can hold four.
8- Calibration prices are as follows:

* Custom gasoline calibrations are $60 each.
* Standard diesel calibrations for trucks with mild modifications (Oversized Intercoolers, Exhaust Brakes, Downpipes, Full Return Fuel System Mods, Turbo Housing Mods (for stock turbos), and Cold Air Intake Kits) are $30 each.
* Customized standard diesel calibrations for trucks with heavy modifications (Injectors, Big Oil (dual HPOP), Large Single or Twin Turbos, Power Adders such as Nitrous, Propane, & Water/Meth Injection, and Modified Transmissions) are $60 each.

9- As long as we can access your HEX code, we'll write your new calibrations and load them onto your Upgraded Programmer before shipping it back to you. This usually takes 1-2 weeks.
