Also if you have some mods, and want more power and don't mind spending the extra money on gas. A 93 custom performance tune is way better than an 87 custom performance tune. I have both, and I only leave it on my 93 custom performance now.

Although I was getting better mpg with the 87 custom performance (between .5-1mpg difference depending on conditions).

the decrease in mpgs could be the driver just enjoying the 93 octane tune a little more (kind of like the new exhaust syndrome)

Also, when getting a second tune, they already have your info and stuff on record, and it gets to you quicker than the first time, as long as they aren't out of town(which they are A LOT)

But like I said, well worth the wait. Their tunes are awesome
I was also reading into them - aside from being out of town alot, Bill (who writes the tunes) is a full time engineer, he just does this on the side......

Thanks, i was just wondering when to expect mine. I placed my order Sunday, and I'm inpatient, all the good i hear from these guys i can't wait to get it so i can get my custom tunes ordered. At least this way i can relax and stop checking my email every hour, LOL.

Yea I definitely know how that is, give it another week or so and you should see an invoice that has all of your information and an estimated shipping date. Once you get that I would say give it a week or so and then you should have a programmer!

Bill takes his time and can be viewed as insulting in a way with his lack of responses and excuses for delays. He's been like that for years but you won't be sorry once you get his product. I just recommend getting a custom tune along w/ the Gryphon because of the wait. You can only buy directly from him so you know he handles each job with care and precision. I have used Troyer, SCT, Hypertech, & Gryphon... and Bill's was by far the best and has been proven. I've put 120,000 city driven miles on mine and over the course of the 5 years, it's been great!

Yep...you will get it through email. I have to install with their Pegasus software but I believe you got the CTS that it is through the Fusion software. Go check out the PHP forum and read through some of the stuff about your CTS. That is what I did for my Edge/Gryphon and learned some stuff I didnt know. I think you have to pay attention to the very first announcement on the forum that is in blue:
