Default Tuner

After reading dozens of post on tuners, it looks like a good choice is the edge evolution at around $330 then get a custom tune. I have a 2008 with a 4.6 that I will run true duals and have the Gotts mod. I don t plan on much more. Just looking for good crisp drivability and a little gas milage help (I know)
My question; can I give my personal preferences to the tuner. For instance, I would like the 1-2 part throttle shift raised a couple mph, the shifts firmer, some torque management removed, etc. Will they be able to add this to their other changes?
ALSO; Does it help to install lower temp thermostats in fords?
Thanks

If you are thinking of the edge evolution I would look into the php gryphon. Pretty much the same tuner its but the custom tunes will be 30 dollars cheaper if you buy their product. And yes you will fill out a form with all your preferences and driving habits that they will translate into a tune.

You can get the Edge at autoanything for $280. All you have to do is google autoanything coupon code and you'll find a 15% off which will bring it to 280 with free shipping.

I debated the gryphron or edge, I went with edge, worth every penny especially if lifted.

The edge evolution is $280 on auto anything. Use the forum promo code, F150FRM15 and save 15% off anything you purchase over $150. I use it all the time on there.

The Edge really made a big difference in my 4.6 - Like night and day for power. Do not know about gas mileage tho. Only had the winter results and then installed the Edge as the warmer weather was coming in.

I'm looking into tuners as well. I was just wondering because I was looking into the gryphon from PHP but it says they are no longer doing custom tunes...

With the Gryphon costing $369 (plus $30 custom) and the edge costing $280 with $60 for tune, it seems, if all things are equal, that the edge is a little better deal, unless you keep going back for more tunes.
