Default Looking for a programmer

I'm interested in a programmer and wanted some recommendations. I see the Edge Evo and Gryphon are popular but more info would help. There seems to be a few Edge models available? I have a stock 03 crew 4x4 with the 5.4. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I don't have any experience with the Diablo's, I have used a few superchips microtuners before. What are some pros and cons of your Diablo and what model is it?

You can change many aspects of the truck. It comes with several pre tunes in it such A's performance 93 octane, economy etc.... It also also u to adjust for what ever size tires u have so your speedo isn't off. U can also change things like shift points, when your electric fans come on if u have them etc...

Is this something that you plug into the truck to program then remove? What is the model number?

Gryphon is a custom tuned Edge product. Simply put custom tuning far exceeds the canned tunes. All good programmers offer the same things: adjusting for tire size, shift points, etc. The main difference between Edge/Gryphon are the gauge feature. The CTS also offers a backup camera. Go to power hungry's website for more information on the differences. SCT also offers a custom tunable device, it lacks the gauges,, but essentially serves the same tuning purpose.


SCT X3 from any SCT dealer and here are a couple places for custom tunes:

OR

PHP Gryphon

Get Edge Evolution, the CST and CS are all expensive touch screen... doesn't give you any more power over the Evo. Just looks clean and nice.
