What programmer is better/more prefferred? Edge, gryphon, or bullydog gt?
And where is everyone finding 8" Rize lift for 2700$ and is it coming with the add a leaf and blocks?

 

A Gryphon is simply an Edge that's been converted to take custom tunes. However, with an 08, the stock Edge CS/CTS can be custom tuned by the same company (PHP). If you buy it from them, custom tunes are half price. The Bullydog is junk.

PHP isn't that far from you - they are in Winder GA and they have a dyno.

 

i have been told in a message that the sct flash programmer is the best buy...other ppls opinion? just wanna get some more feedback....and which sct flash...the x3 or the live wire....and how do these custom tunes work....how can they be customized...examples?

 

Have you read the sticky thread at the top of this forum? That is a good place to start.

 

Edge CS/CTS with custom tunes from php......www.gopowerhungry.com

Sct xcal3 with from www.troyerperformance.com www.vmptuning.com or 5star tuning also.....

 

Xcal3 or Livewire for the win

 

Depends entirely on what you want it to do, what mod future you see for the truck, and your budget.

8" rize?

 

I want something that on gas saver I will see a nice inprovment....towing is just whatever it usually is but on performance I want it to be nasty

 

We drive bricks on wheels....getting better mileage comes more from the driver and routine maintenance than it would a programmer......better mileage doesn't happen on the gassers like it does the diesels.....

 

Some experience a slight improvement, but not near enough to pay for the tuner. You get a tuner for the improved performance, not mpg.

 

LOL @ MPG improvements and you are planning to put on an 8" lift?

 

You may see .5MPG if you are lucky but performance is going to be so so unless the truck is super charged or turbo charged. You just don't get the performance out of a N/A engine by tuning it like you do with a forced induction engine like a diesel or super charged truck and even then there are supporting mod's that have to go along with it. You are also going to need to spend some money on gears when you put the lift and bigger tires on the truck or your transmission and engine are going to hate life.
