Check out SCT X3 from Mike from 5startuning.com he is great to work with and great customer service. I recomend him to anyone. I was in your spot didnt know what to get and he contacted me. He is a member here. He asked me what I wanted it for and I told him. He came up with the 87 economy tune 91 performance tune and 91 tow tune. These have been great. The tow tune makes it feel like there your not pulling anything. The performance tune really makes the truck move now and the throttle is real touchy. Just tap the gas and your in the seat it feels like. Economy tune is also good and I have gotten a 1-2 mpg better. Check him out its worth the money.

Well I never had this problem. Not sure if the shift settings would adjust this or not? Have you tried contacting Mike? Usually he will get right back with a way to fix or send you a revision. If you go half throttle let up and floor it does it still do it?

So you plug it in each time you want change to a different tune? Such as from econ to performance? Also, with the Gryphon, can you change settings on the monitor or do you have to plug it in every time as well?

Ya for the sct you have to plug it in every time. They gryphon is always plugged in cause thats how the monitor shows everything. But if you wana change settings for either one of them you got to make sure the truck is off change any settings you wana change press select or whatever it is on the gryphon turn the key let it download when its done turn the key off and your set. Well I know thats how the sct is im sure the gryphon is the same way

I ordered a Superchips Flashpack 1815 from Strippermotorsports.com (866-706-7744) and the service was excellent! They beat everybody else by at least $40 at the time-also carry other brands and were very helpful on the phone responding to questions, etc. which was much more than the other retailers were even willing to do!

My brother has a triple stage from Bully Dog for his powerstroke, I am fully aware that it is a different company and type of programmer, but it has the monitor and the hook up to download it to the pickup. once it is downloaded though, you can change the levels that you want it to be on, on the monitor. Is it possible that the Gryphon is that? could someone with that setup explain it to me?
Also, I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, just curiosity, but Still Smoking, do you get a commission from Mike over there at 5 Star?

I had a chance to tow with my SCT and the 93 octane tow tune this past weekend. I picked up a full 1 mpg and the shifting was really great. It was not hunting gears like it did stock and seemed to have a lot more power when I needed it. I may need to tweak it some, but overall I am very happy with it. I was able to run with my friend's 7.3L that is Banks Powered with no problems.
