Default What programmer???

Ok so ive looked at them all, custom, canned, off the shelf. Edge, Gryphon, Diablosport, SCT, etc...

From what i read, it sounds like people with custom tunes either love them or hate them. At first, i was thinking custom tunes would be better..

Are they reliable?

I am now thinking about a normal Edge or Diablo, because i know they are RELIABLE. And i'd be happy with the 20HP gain and the 30-35 torque gain...What do you guys think?

I say you go with either gryphon or edge evo. They both look really good, and seem to be pretty reliable from what people have been saying. I am itching to buy a gryphon myself once I buy my family xmas presents.

well you can buy the gryphon for the same price as an edge without custom tunes and it comes with the same canned tunes as an edge it is just capable of getting custom tunes later on if you add more stuff to your truck and which then the custom tunes are 30$ a piece

^ I agree..... I guess no one realizes the Gryphon is just a rebadged Edge but you can put custom tunes on it. It costs the same as the Edge and they say it comes with a bit more of an aggressive canned tunes than the Edge.

Unless you can get a used Edge for under $200 and then send it in to be rebadged as a Gryphon, buy the Gryphon new.

The Gryphon canned tunes are not the same as the Edge canned tunes. The Gryphon canned tunes are less conservative as the Gryphon is not CARB compliant.
