Canned tunes are better than stock but wouldn't justify the price of a tuner imho, custom tune is the only way to fly.

This is true


I had my BDX for a couple days before my Omega tune was ready so I loaded the canned 91 tune. It did have more power than stock I believe up in the high end, the shifts on general were a little more firm, but some of the shifts had me scratching my head to wtf just happened there. If there was no custom tune coming my way, I would have just sold it right there and went back to stock.


So recently, I brought my truck in for its first oil change at the dealer since the tune. I returned it to stock a few days before. ugh, talk about uninspired driving. Seemed to notice the change from tune to stock even more drastically. Would have tuned right in the dealer parking lot after the oil change if the SO wasn't with

Been hearing a lot about that specific tune so I decided to bite and ordered it. I've got 5* and MPT on my device currently and have been running the MPT 93 Race as a dd for over a year now.

It'll be hard to beat what I have but if it does it'll be $150 well spent.

Well I already have a X4 tuner. So I've got the SCT canned tunes. I just don't have them on my truck. Been using it on a Mustang, which I recently sold.

I'm thinking about loading some SCT tunes up to the truck to see what happens. I emailed them to ask if I can still use E85 fuel, which didn't get an answer. I also asked if the tow/haul mode will still work because I use that often, and didn't get an answer.

Hope you like it. I like mine after about a few weeks into it. Just not having to worry about other octanes, $25 adjustments for new parts and the great communication with Ken Osborne is pretty nice.

I doubt it'll take a week or 2 for me to know if I like it or not, I'll be able to tell pretty much from day 1. The part about not worrying what octane to buy is my main motivation for getting it. I have 5 five star tunes of varying octane rating for just in case I travel.

The only modifications I plan for my truck at this point in time is trading it in a few years from now. I got Raptor fever lol. I'm holding out until they bring a v8 back to the line up.

Not to threadjack, but do you guys think the warranty is worth it with the SCT and 5* tunes?

untraceable

Prob a waste

RLXXI

That's how I got mine initially and knowing now what I do, I wouldn't buy the warranty again. The warranty tunes are tame compared to the MPT 93 Race tune I've been driving.

Oh and to update this thread, don't waste any $$ on that Omega tune, felt like I was running the stock tune again. Complete turd.

It absolutely takes a week or 2. I put the Omega tune on my truck a few weeks ago. The first hundred miles or so were slow, flat, dead, like I was dragging a 5k pound trailer with flat tires.

the next hundred was much better and the next. In all, I'd say it took about 500 miles to reach it's peak and it is much stronger than stock, and I get an extra 1mpg when I'm taking it easy.

Of course this is a 2016 model so there definitely could be some differences, YMMV
