Would I have to send the sct in to get custom tunes or are they downloaded on computer too?

 

Downloaded through email.

 

Just do a google shopping search.. I buy everything from Autoanything.com. They will price match any advertised price you find.

Heres a link to a CS for $372 with free shipping.

Thanks!!!

 

You couldn't clear cut an answer from that thread about tuners/programmers even though the pole clearly shows 93 EDGE and 21 Gryphon, which is the samething but can take custom tunes... vs the SCT 2nd highest which was 49? Pretty clear cut answer there buddy..

 

there is no clear cut answer....it's all personal prefference. The Horsepower gains vary greatly depending on what mail order tune you get, and what mods you already have.

Personally I love SCT for their product and customer service. And also the fact that you can buy their pro package, and easily tune the engine yourself. I used it on my Mustang, and with my own tuning the stock engine ran perfect with 14 lbs of boost.

 

Sct sounds like the way to go for now running canned tunes, then later on get some custom tunes!

 

Ya canned tunes are OK, but ultimately you are better off going on the dyno to have the A/F dialed in. The best time to dyno tune is AFTER you have done exhaust, intake, cams etc. that way you don't have to get it dyno'd more than once.

Livewire = Edge CS/CTS

Unless you're going boosted or major n/a mods, there's no need for all the data logging the Livewire can do. It's nice but not needed.
