I got my SCT Live wire through american muscle...SCT has given me GREAT support, but after finding out about Trick Tuners i wish i would have gotten my tuner throgh them. Once my paycheck comes in i will be retuning with them.

SCT FTW!

jaxdawg · March 23rd, 2008, 08:59 PM

if you have i dyno shop near by i would use whatever software that they tune with. like, the dyno shop i go to uses SCT so i use an SCT tuner.

HMUSN · March 23rd, 2008, 09:01 PM

in north jersey they use SCT.. I'm from north jersey

SWEET2KSTANG · March 23rd, 2008, 09:10 PM

if dyno tuning, use what they tune with. i recommend diablo if you just buying one to have. doc is getting rid of his x-3 for a diablo for his mach.

Black_stang · March 23rd, 2008, 09:58 PM

I like SCT. Thats whats on my car. Dont know how true it is but i have heard u can only have 1 dynotune on a diablo unless its for and 05+... SCT can hold 3 i think, just what i have heard about the diablo like i said could be wrong

SWEET2KSTANG · March 23rd, 2008, 10:59 PM

sct does store up to 4 tunes on the x-2, and 3 on the x-3 i think. the diablo can hold a custom tune in the programmer itself. it will hold that tune and you can do another, but will not store it. the x-3 loads faster than the diablo, not sure about the 2.

Ive been shopping for one myself. Id like to get info from someone who has had more than one brand.

SWEET2KSTANG · March 24th, 2008, 12:34 AM

i have ran the superchips, hypertech, diablo, and the x-3. the x-3 is nice and user friendly for the most part, tuning ability is hands down better on the diablo.
