You can still mix and match custom tunes from different tuners with the X3 just like you can on the SF3, just without the the "free" canned SCT tunes. It does the same thing, just without those "free" tunes. They are actually not free since a bare X3 without custom tunes loaded is about $200 which is about $100 less than the SF3 with the pre-loaded canned tunes and no custom tunes.

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.
Thanks again,

Thanks again,

Maybe I will ask for a $40 refund if the $389 comes with the canned tunes, cause I bought the $429 so I could have them. If I would have known they came with the $389 I would have got that one!

Very interesting because the SF3 (3015) and the X3 (3000) are two different devices. As Al stated, the X3 does not contain the standard SCT tunes. I also only see the X3 on 5Star's site.
We shall see when it arrives. Either way I can wait to get it!
