Huh. I would have thought for sure you had to keep it in. And by update you mean work on the truck or update it through the PC?

Unplug it any time you want. Just always set it back to stock before updating it with your pc.

By the way... Thanks a lot for posting your tune. It works awesome in my truck. Mine's not as fast and probably heavier... but still makes a huge difference. thanks!

No problem. I have since tweaked my settings to this on Level 2:

Shift Firmness:
1-2 @ 6
2-3 & 3-4 @ 6 as well

WOT Shift:
1-2 @ 4700 (was at 4900 and the truck took a full 2 seconds in between shifts, not good)
2-3 @ 4950
3-4 @ 4800

Rev Limiter @ 5300

Speed Limiter @ 125

Timing @ +1.25

WOT Fuel @ +1.75

To advance the timing this much you HAVE to run 91 octane or higher. You can run these settings with 87 octane, but I wouldnt advance timing by more than .50 (half a degree).

I'll have to give it a try. I've already noticed the mileage go way up... so that's a bonus for sure...

I just purchased a used Edge 15051 off of eBay simply for the monitoring capabilities it gives you. However, after receiving it I tried out the trans and 87 towing tune that comes stock with the Edge. It was terrible. The 87 tune wanted to RPM hang when coming to a stop and kind of 'push' when at a red light. Well I updated the Fusion software and tried that before going to the Gryphon. It was better but I honestly happier with just using the trans tune. I found the YouTube video which led me to this thread so I read all 27 pages and then uploaded the Pegasus software. What a big difference. The shifting strategies are better, the power delivery smoother, and the idle quality improved. This is all with the stock Pegasus/Gryphon 'canned' tunes. I don't have 93 readily available here in California so I am using the 87 towing tune and am happy with it. I will be doing a custom 91 tune for when I want to use premium fuel but for now I am very satisfied. A couple things I will add for those who want to do the upgrade. As the video states make sure you are upgrading in "administrator" mode on your laptop or PC. I am using a 2 year old HP laptop so it doesn't have Windows 10 yet and it still uploaded fine. My Edge was built in 2009 so I had to upload fusion from the Edge website as opposed to using the CD I was given. Then I could upload the latest "old" Fusion software then the Power Hungry Pegasus software. All In all if you follow the great video you won't have any problems.

Alright, I finally found a sweet deal for one on ebay. Now I just need to wait for it to come so I can try this out. Is everyone still liking the change from the Edge to the Gryphon software?

I had the same problem with the stock Edge and just updated to the Gryphon. Still having the same issue!! The throttle is also very touchy, like you're either accelerating or you're not.

Turn the truck back to stock, unplug battery for 30 minutes, reload your Gryphon then give it 3 or 4 drive cycles. I have had that happen right after tweaking and reloading a custom tune. It has always gone away after a few drive cycles.

Lucky me! I just won a edge evolution tuner on eBay. $112. Sucky thing is it doesn't come with a dash mount so I'll have to get that. Wasn't really expecting to win it and it just happened. Also doesn't have usb? What kind of usb cable does it take so I can update it to the gryphon?
