Good luck, Jake.

Yea dude.. you are going to have to ask the "tuner" himself to see. I don't know exactly how they would go about tuning it so you may as well ask the guy doing it. AND I suggest going with gryphon.

I dont apologize for the contribution to the thread jackage though

Jake,

Something to consider, a gryphon will not work right out of the box, you will not be able to use the canned tunes while you wait for your custom ones. Since the edge platform will not work a V6 until bill gets your custom tunes loaded, it wont recognize the VIN number. An SCT will have canned tunes for a V6 while you wait for your custom ones.

As I have said before, for my $$ I want something I will see everyday, so I went with the gryphon and I wait. It looks sad, doesnt it? One day....

That is such a nice looking unit, way nice than my Gryphon (past generation) When I start doing serious power mods, I think I'll upgrade to one of the new units they have and have him dyno it


BTW, Jake, talk to raptor, he did a local dyno tune with an Xcal 3 IIRC. See what he says.

Yep - that is sad.... why don't you at least put an overlay or something on it? Hell - even the "VIN not found" nag would be better than staring at that blank screen

Right. He also said "10 hp tops".

I'd go elsewhere
