I miss driving a tuned truck as well but I also like my head gaskets right where they are. But I do need a set of guages to monitor EGT and trans temp though and a full set of guages for my truck is going to run me $400.

I love my gryphon, but it needs more power. The tow tune loses power after 1800 and picks up around 2100. I really want the economy performance tune. I floored it yesterday and it maxes out in the 3000rpm range.

That is the canned tow tune. That is normal. He needs a custom 87 Perf tune. It will pull till you let off.

That's on the tow tune, so it has more low end grunt, but I want more power all over in case I need it, like today.

Good luck with the wait! It's worth it though.

Yeah I can't wait. I just asked her a few weeks ago if they can make sure the truck will still have plenty of power with the economy tune. She said it will don't worry since the economy tunes are their performance tunes I guess

I have 2 performance tunes, 87 octane and 93 octane. I run 93 unless gas gets too expensive. I just like it better. It's nice now too since I hardly drive the truck any more. Makes the tunes feel that much better.

Yeah the 93 is probably nice. I got the 87 for the budget. My plan is to eventually go blown so I will get my chance to run the higher octane after college

Hey it's a good start. I can't wait until I can get this truck set-up how I want. Semi custom exterior and beast under the hood.
