SCT Tuner Question!

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:32 PM

I'm putting 4:10s and a full exhaust on the car this summer and I need to tuner. I see good prices on used SCT 2&3 tuners on ebay, and they are unlocked. Would I have any problems taking these used tuners that have been unlocked to a dyno shop and having them put a custom tune on it? Also..they don't come with any computer cables, do the dyno shops need those? or do they have their own? Thanks for the help!!

White99stang · May 29th, 2008, 04:34 PM

there shouldn't be any problems, the tuner shops should have the cable if they tune sct.

Just make sure its really unlocked. I have heard of a lot of people getting screwed off of ebay. It cost $150 to unlock from SCT. Hit me up when you need a tune for it.

$150 wow that sucks balls

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:52 PM

why does that suck balls??

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 04:53 PM

^ because you would end up paying more than if you just bought a new one.

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:53 PM

yeah I might hit you up..can you tune for gears and full exhaust and everything??

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 04:54 PM

Joe can Tune for whatever you want man.

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:54 PM

you're saying it would suck if it wasn't unlocked..but these say that they are

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:55 PM

yeah trick tunes sounds good, only thing is I'm not really computer savvy..so he'd really have to walk me through it or something

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 04:55 PM

it's very simple. and he or I could walk you through it.

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 04:58 PM

I'm guessing it would be a ton cheaper then me taking it to a dyno shop..considering I don't have that many mods yet, email tune would be a good choice for me?

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 04:59 PM

yes it would.
I had my car tuned by Joe as well. the man knows his shit.

you can say what ever u want on ebay... it doesn't mean that they really are

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 05:04 PM

true that..I'd figure its worth the risk cause I'd save like $200 instead of buying a new one!

Mustang Racer · May 29th, 2008, 05:19 PM

Hey hmusn would it be more easy to ship the tuner to joe and let him put a tune on it.

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 05:21 PM

no.. it's all done through the email.

whitehorse01 · May 29th, 2008, 05:23 PM

So if I bought one of these on ebay I would need to make sure it had a computer cord?

HMUSN · May 29th, 2008, 05:23 PM

yup. or you could get one from Joe for $10
