It's funny you brought up sct.

While I was messing with the tuner reading my Coolant temps, I pulled the SCT tuner out and drove around on the stock tune a few days. I found it hilarious that I can't feel any power difference at all... ..because I never shift over 3500rpm. Down low, the only improvement over stock I can notice is it idles better and that is a Noticeable difference. Hp wise the tuner is probably a waste while stock. People always jump to the tuner being the first mod but I don't think it's necessary for most people.

I agree, stock they are next to worthless. Other than changing for gears and tires. I don't like how late mine goes into open loop and the closed loop fueling is to lean with the maf curve pretty off.

I probably could stay with remote tunes but no one is going to put the time into it that I will. I hate the transmission shift schedule, maybe because of the stall but I know I can make it better. The engine side of things in my tune is somewhat "hacked" together. I want to make sure it's 100% right. It beats lucky enough to get some good tuning manuals for cheap so I have something to learn off of.

Since we are on this subject let me ask yall this... would a tuner help get my afr where it needs to be using the stock airbox and a k&n tube? I was running really lean (15-20%) and setting codes so I had to switch back to my stock air tube. I have an option to get an x4 for $100 with canned tunes so just thought I would ask.
