Mine are close, but I have a original Evolution converted to a Gryphon, you can't convert a Evolution CS or CTS.

LVL 2 91 octane

Timing +1.5

WOT FUEL- +1.75

WOT shift points 5100,5100,4600

rev limiter 5600

max rpm ? I dont have this

WOT Firmness +8 on all

tire size in MM?

Also I dont mess with lock/unlock points for the torque converter, messes with it every day for a month, nothing ever seemed to work.

You don't see them because they do not exist. Some exposed features did not carry over from the EVO-gen devices ( although, when the devices still had PHP tuning support, those settings - and much, much more - were accessible via the custom tune via the calibrator ).

Recommend that you make only minor adjustments to the settings you DO have, and most importantly - ensure yer tire size and gear ratio settings are confirmed accurate. And you run high-quality fuels in the correct octane for the chosen tune. AND - all yer truck maintenance is up to snuff (including fresh front O2's). Tuning can and WILL exacerbate any pre-existing issues. And you must run the stock intake (Gotts is still okay), if yers isn't on the supported list.

No - the CS is not superior to the EVO - it just supports later model trucks. Truck PCM hardware platforms and firmware evolve continually. In fact, as you have seen, for a supported truck, the EVO is preferred since it can Still be custom-tuned ( although that is apparently coming to an end ).

What I'd do? Sell it while it still has some residual value, and buy a custom-calibrated SCT X4. Then you'll have something with a future, a vast dealer support network, terrific end-user tools ( LiveLink, Advantage III ), plus significantly better tuning. All for under $400 not including yer additional forum discount. MPT is the tuning vendor I'd recommend.

good luck

I would agree with MGD, buy an SCT product for the pure ability to have it custom calibrated, but if you want live monitoring, then go with a SCT Livewire. Otherwise, go with the SCT X4.
