Ok NGM, I have an off topic question for you, since you seem to be the foremost leader of the SCT clan. My buddy has a SCT tuner for his 03 cobra and lately it has been idleing horrible and backfiring on take off. He took the car to AMP Motorsports here in Phoenix and they told him all the SCT tuner does is dump fuel, all the time, and very excessively. They told him to take it out, have the computer flashed to stock and let them dyno and build him a program for his car, totalling 1000 bucks. whats your thoughts on this?

he got ripped off. There is no difference between flashing a file with an xcal and having someone flash it with SCT software on the dyno. The files are identical.

Case in point, the guy who founded SCT, lets cal him JW, would do independent tuning at team ford in altanta. He would tune with his laptop, save the file and load it to an xcal if you had one.

I have read about AMP on the corral in the past and they seem to do a good job of taking peoples money.

Default k&N intake noise

Hi Folks, I just installed a K&N Series 77 on my 2002 F150 4.6 v8. I have a weird noise that sounds kinda like a woop-woop-woop. It does it sometimes just idling and some times accelerating or decellerating. When it is idling and makes the noise, I notice the engine misses a little. I haven't contacted K&N yet. Thought I would try here first.

If you have any ideas email me at rocgri@gmail.com. THX
