This past November on my way to West Virginia. You can see here above that the intake temp. is in the mid twenty's, where the one in June below is in the mid sixty's. Usually it's a few degrees cooler than ambient temp. while I'm cruising. It shows that my home made (sort of) cold air intake is working.




I Have the SCT Livewire. I really like the info when I'm towing. I bought mine from 5-Star. It came with six custom tunes, but I started out with three. A 89 Perf., a 91 Perf., and a 91 Tow. Then after that I got two tunes from MPT, a 93 Perf/street, and a 91 Tow/street. Then, I figured I'd try the 91 eco, and 93 Perf. from 5-star. The guys are right. Don't bother with the economy tune. No power, and really didn't get any better gas mileage. And, you will notice a huge difference between the canned tunes and you custom tunes.

Im selling my SCT x4. I though I needed it to reprogram my ecu for a new wheel size. Its been plugged in once for my 5.0 Fx4. It has tunes from Mike at 5star tuning with an economy tune, performance tune for 87 and 91 octane. How much would you guys value it at? I bought it for 480$.

Thanks scarlet for the info. I do like the ability to watch some track speeds for tuning purposes. Like the 0-60,1/8 mile, 1/4 mile. At least that helps when trying to get it running the best it can.

I'm not sure what the value of a used one is but you can get a new one with custom tunes to specific vehicle for 430. So maybe 3 something? Idk.
