I really have no idea about programmers but a service guy at the dealership told me a programmer will do wonders to my gas mileage and help my truck shift better. I have bigger wheels/tires and a leveling kit on. I get really crappy gas mileage. Is this programmer something that can help me out? He also said it will help my transmission shift better with the bigger tires. Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

88Racing, thank you for the info. That answers all my questions. Pretty much sold me on getting one. Is the one I mentioned a good one? I believe it around $350. Is that about the price I'm gonna pay for a good one?

 

If you like the Edge, I wouldn't buy an Evo for a 2007. I'd buy a CS or CTS from PHP with custom tunes.

 

glc what is PHP? Why wouldn't you buy a Evo for a 2007?

 

ok so i plan on putting a GForce performance chip into my 08' n a couple weeks, with a chip can i also use a programmer to maximize performance? also, if i can use both with say a evo programmer can i have my truck dyno'd n load tunes that way? never rlly done any mods like this. im askin cuz im puttin a 6" lift and 35's on around the same time(while tryin not to re-gear).

 

Don't. They don't work. Get a programmer ONLY. Read the thread that 88Racing linked to.

The Evo can't be custom tuned without sending it to them for a Gryphon conversion. The CS and CTS can take their custom tunes without sending it in.

 

rlly it dont work? i found the link for it on here.damn it sounded great.

 

glc I really have no intention to get into the unit and change a ton of stuff since I have no idea what any of it does or means. But Im hoping to get better shifting/mpg/and help my transmission last longer with my bigger tires. Would you still recommend the CT or CTS over the Evo? The CT/CTS seems to have a lot of extra stuff I will never use or even look at.

 

Total scam.

Google ads. The site has no control over what ads show up.

If it sounds to good to be true...

 

Really? Are you positive that if he (or anybody else) buys a cs from a different source that PHP can just email a custom tune for it? I was under the impression that in order for PHP to custom tune a CS or CTS, that they had to convert these units to Gryphon first?

I'm learning as I go here too.

 

GLC is correct for the CS and CTS. The older Edge Evolutions had to be sent to PHP for conversion.

The CS and CTS do not.

In fact I have 5 tunes on my CTS all were 'downloaded' Fusion.

Canned 87 tranny
Canned 87 towing
Canned 91+ performance
Custom 87 performance/economy
Custom 87 towing

 

glc is correct and so is shotgunz .....

 

Now - doesn't PHP give you a discount on custom tunes on the CS/CTS if you buy the programmer from them?

 

Yes - the tunes are half price.
