is a gryphon worth it...

i have an 07 4.6l screw with just a maggie muffler and the gotts mod with a K&N drop in would the gryphon be worth it right now?
Autoanything has the edge for 269 with free shipping. i was thinking just doing that and down the road when i do e-fans and UD pullys and other more drastic mods i would just have it converted to the gryphon what do you think?

Not a bad plan at that price. The Edge will add 20-22 HP to your engine. You will like it. Some day, get it converted and custom tunes, and you will like it even more. If mine were to go out on me, I would be on the phone ordering another Gryphon.

I'm very happy with mine. The tunes just help bring out the power gains from those mods even more.

It was worth it to me. I started out with an Edge, and converted it to a Gryphon. Each one was an improvement.

Man I am in the same situation as you are right now with basically the same set up. Not that that matters but I too was looking at the edge through autoanything and the one that I see that is 269 is the "gauges only". Take another look and make sure that is the case. I thought the same thing but as I was reading the specs on it there was nothing mentioned about programming. The programmer apears to be $359.

I too wondered this questions when I began to read about them. I thought no way could a programmer really be worth all of the hype. Well after reading all of the great things about the PHP gryphon and finally bought into it. WOW, just wow was I really surprised at how well ti woke my truck up. I tried the tranny only tune for a few days and was impressed. Then level 2 for 10k miles and loved it. Finally I dipped into the level 3 and was blown away. Don't get me wrong, it will not make miracles but it will greatly increase throttle response, tranny shifting, and just overall truck pep. I would not hesistate to encourage you to buy one.

The first day I got my truck I was in love, but on the 2 hour drive home I slowly noticed how unresponsive the throttle was and how slow the drive-by-wire was in stock form. I began to live with it but as I said before continued to read all of the wonderful things about a programmer. I love the 4 difference gauges, added performance, and mpg it netted me. It has taught me to become a smarter driver as far as gas peddle goes too.

The Gryphon is definitely worth it.

Its definitely worth it. I got 11 mpg without the tuner and cold air intake and when I am running it now on 93 Performance Im getting between 14.5-15mpg average. So in my mind I figure that means im getting roughly around 4 more mpg on a usual 21 gallon fill up so im getting around 85 miles more per tank and with gas at 2.60 a gallon that means im saving myself about $14-$15 at each fill up.
