Geno,
I hope you are right on this! I just ordered my x3 from 5* with three custum tunes and if I can jump on the Sct site and down load the three "canned" tunes it's a win win for me. We shall see later this week.

website on the $429 price:"The SF3 Power Flash arrives Pre-Loaded with 3 tune files (87, 91, 93) for 2011+ F150 3.5L Eco Boost! Device will also come with 3 custom tunes of your choice from 5 Star for your 2011+ F150 3.5L Eco Boost." So I believe you are wrong, but this is my opinion and I am willing to admit I may be wrong, but if I am not correct whey on earth does he even have two separate price for the two?
Not sure why he has two separate prices. I paid $299 from Somone here on the forum who sells them brand new. It came with 3 free tunes.

Call me a troll all you want if you owned a 3015 last year you can update it and still get the 3 canned tunes free

So I will say this again

CANNED TUNES ARE FREE!!!! FROM SCT!!!

That's like handing out awards at the special Olympics
The SF3 and the X3 are not the same thing.

SF3 is the 3015 for Fords http://www.sctflash.com/products.php?PID=2&VID=


X3 is the 3000 for Fords http://www.sctflash.com/products.php?PID=1&VID=

If you noticed in their details the SF3 (3015) comes pre-loaded with SCT tunes and the X3 (3000) does not. The $389 special is the X3 with the 3 custom tunes only. The $429 is the SF3 with the three canned and 3 custom. If you buy the SF3 with without any custom tunes then expect to pay around $300 and then an additional $150-200 for 3 custom tunes depending on where to go. 5 Star sells a tune individually for $105 or 3 for $200.

This explains it then

But I was right 3015 comes with canned tunes free

I did not even know SCT still had the x3 Must be some still lingering around. FYI the 3015 is the replacement for the X3

So it appears we were arguing about 2 different devices

Why anyone would buy the X3 is beyond me SF3 comes free with tunes then you can mix and match whom ever tunes you like

Thank you AL kohalic for clearing that up

And thank you mr 13 posts for calling me a troll. LOL!

Trust me, the 5* 87 is way better then SCT 87 and the 5* 93 is way better than the SCT 93. Not to mention you can tow with both the 5*'s. You will not missing a thing. I bought an SF3 from Mike and have not even used any of the SCT tunes since that first week waiting for my custom tunes to come out. I don't ever for see me even wanting to use the SCT tunes either since the 5* gives you the same power performance but with way better shifting.

So again to laketrout, the above answer is correct. Sorry for the BS in the last couple of posts!

Mike is known for his tunes you can go wrong with his tunes

You were the one to jump in here so quickly to let everyone know I was wrong. You were acting like a troll, especially since you were wrong!
