I have both an 87 and 91 (not much 93 around my house). Haven’t run it on a dyno but my "butt dyno" says it’s a very noticeable gain. I had them tune my 91 very aggressively. I just wanted it to play with every now and then. It feels a lot faster than my 87 which I had tuned mildly on purpose for daily driving. Without a dyno tune, I cant say for sure. I would doubt that my truck gained anywhere close to Msall’s, but he prob has more than just a tunner, Borla muffler and CAI (like me) on his to see 50 RWHP. I would guess im somewhere around 20 over stock with all of my mods combined. But the power is much more useable.

thank you for the information, im considering getting the stock gryphon 87 tow tune, the php custom 87 performance, and the 93 custom performance, just for the simple reason i dont feel like pooring 93 octane in my 35 gallon tank.. lol

You will be very happy with that purchase. Whats even better than the added power is the transmission. It shifts firmer and has much better shift scheduling. It will feel like a whole new truck.

I just installed my edge evolution cts on Tuesday (canned tunes) and have been using the trans mode (level one) and it is saying I am getting 16.9 miles per gallon. I'm running nitto trail grapplers 295/70/R18 and the last time I manually did my mpg I was getting closer to 13. I don't see how it can get that big of a jump but that's what the evo is saying. I haven't done the gotts mod yet but plan on doing that this evening.
