Default Looking to buy Tuner

Hey guys I'm in the market for a tuner. Been looking at the SCT SF4/X4 Power Flash Tuner. Anybody have it and what do you think about it? Thanks in advance.

SCTx4 you mean and I will never own another truck without one. I've run MPT and 5* custom tunes and like them both.

I lean preference towards MPT due to the unique feature they offer with their tunes incorporating the tow/haul switch as sort of a sport/touring mode switch as well as MPT being a tad more powerful than 5*. Been running an MPT 93 race tune for over a year as a DD.

AmericanMuscle needs a new editor. SCT is the company and the tuner is the x4. https://www.sctflash.com/

We currently run an SCT on our shop truck. Fantastic results from it and have had numerous customers purchase them with great results! If you're interested in getting pricing feel free to message us with questions or to get a forum price quote!

He didn't mention custom tunes. He just mentioned the X4 itself, which comes with SCT tunes.

Does anybody have just the SCT tunes?

Our shop truck is running the stock SCT tunes that come with the tuner and couldn't be happier. SCT has a great team of techs that are constantly updating software and tunes for the latest and greatest performance boosts to your vehicle. The SCT tunes were just fine for us!

I wonder what the average HP/torque gain is on a 5.0 truck with the canned SCT tunes?

Canned tunes are incredibly meh.


Most "custom" tunes grab around 35hp on the Coyote. A big benefit is better transmission tunes.


If you have a 5.0, you need the Omega tune. Its how the truck should have come from the factory. run any octane.
