I realize plenty of you guys already know what I'm about to say but I thought I'd add my 2 cents for those considering new programmers...

I certainly can't say that it was a seamless acquisition but I was able to download my 87 perf tune this week courtesy of Bill at php and I must say I'm enjoying the new tune a lot.

Around town at part throttle the engine is much more responsive and I feel as though I'm using less gas to get more performance from the 5.4. I know the CS is not altering the TCM at this point but the shifts are firmer and I'm able to get the transmission to kick down when I want it to.

Overall, the engine feels a lot 'crisper' and the truck feels much livelier with the 34.5 inch trail graps I'm running. There's some actual punch now when I hit the gas on a freeway entrance or to pass someone.

To anyone having trouble getting ahold of the folks at php, I highly recommend joining their forum and posting in the section devoted to those waiting for tunes. Bill sorted me out immediately after I did this.

Thanks Bill!

Drive careful and be safe

 

How long did you wait? I placed an order for tunes at the end of feb and am still waiting.

 

Have you tried contacting them and how? That's not normal at all. Something is wrong and you need to find out what it is.

 

Sent a few emails to corey, but no reply. Guess I should give a call.

 

Due to various mix-ups I waited more than 6 months. I sent many emails to Corey but I don't recall ever getting a response either. I've read on the forums that perhaps she's currently not able to handle the customer service workload due to personal reasons.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you join the php forum and start a thread in the section specifically devoted to those waiting for tunes where they ask you for your name and hex code. I sent futile emails for months but as soon as I posted on their forum, Bill sorted out my situation immediately.

Good luck to ya!

 

Thanks I'll give that a try.

 

I recieved my CTS from Edge in early June. After sending my HEX code to PHP I believe it was 3 days later that I had my custom 89 tow tune. Originally I had an issue with the download but a call to PHP had the issue rectified in less than 2 hours.

My point being, if anyone is waiting weeks for a tune they might want to do some follow-up.

 

I got my tune over a year ago..87 perf. and 91 perf. Can't drive the truck without them. Made a huge difference in my little 4.6...currently i have 148,000 miles and no problems, knock on wood!
