Here are my Level 2 Custom settings. I an running 91 Octane.

Shift Firmness:
1-2 @ 8
2-3 & 3-4 @ 10

WOT Shift:
1-2 @ 4750 (was at 4900 and the truck took a full 2 seconds in between shifts, not good)
2-3 @ 4950
3-4 @ 4600

Rev Limiter @ 5300

Speed Limiter @ 125

Timing @ +1.25

WOT Fuel @ +1.75

Best thing is, after driving to work and then in town, then back home, a total of 63 miles, it is reading average mpg's @ 19.8!!!!
So I am new to all of this stuff and I had my edge tuner just sitting there. Followed all the directions and turned it to gryphon... best decision I've ever made. I used Summers' tune above in my truck with the canned 93 and its seriously improved. It's made my truck into a fast bastard!

One thing i did differently is I made sure that I did the timing to +1.5 and put the wheel diameter in to match mine and wow. Before I could never even do a brake stand or burnout and it does now! I'm gonna test tonight the 0-60 and post it...


But another question... on these EVO tuners... how do you find the HEX file? No where do I see the option to see what mine is... Apparently I can't get a custom tune unless I get that...


For anyone who needs their tire size here's a calculator...

It pops up when you connect the tuner to the truck, at first power up every time you connect.

Ok.. and another newb question... I have to set it back to stock before I disconnect it and plug it back in? I'm pretty sure I should... just clarifying...

No you can unplug it all you want the tune is stored in the PCM you don't even have to leave it hooked up if you don't want to.

No you don't, you can unplug it and store it where ever you want, if you don't want it on your dash. Just make sure to go back to stock any time you update it, other wise you will lock yourself out.
