Does the Livewire #9600 support the Ecoboost tunes yet?

GREAT price through Franchi!
Just got to see some numbers and if they will offer a tow tune, and I am in! If we are able to store up to 3 tunes in the device, this is a much better deal than the Livernois. Not knocking them....just sayin.

No, the Livewire won't support any 2010 on up vehicle. 2009 and prior only for the Livewire. And the SCT SF3 #3015 is going to be the only EB tuner for now. Eventually SCT will release it for the TSX and the iTSX I'm sure but no timeframe yet.

Let us know how it works!!




Franchi M.............. PM a price please!!
I will try to do a full review with datalogs doubt I will get to a dyno anytime soon but I just might ...the device is really the important part because now you can basically buy custom tunes from different tuners which will open the whole market up...exciting times for the f150 ecoboost

I was surprised to see that as well. Although I wasn't informed of anything of the sor, I wouldn't be surprised if SCT made all their EB custom tuners agree to release same week.

Buy custom tunes or buy the actual software package from SCT (about $340) and WRITE YOUR OWN!! Very cool stuff being offered here people!!

youre exactly right............. and i just realized that 5Star STILL does not offer their own tune yet for the EB......

they are simply selling the SCT with the preloaded tunes that SCT themselves are offering .......... however the 5star site says you will also get a "free" custom tune once they are available

SO

basically 5star still does not have their own tune out yet is my understanding........

ONLY if you know what you are doing! I dont think too many people know wnough about tuning to do their own. But yes its possible...

Yeah this is basically game over for other offerings in this market either they use this technology are they will go down I expect a tune from everyone and yeah personal tuning will take off, I'm just happy that ecoboost tuning is out of the stone age

I think you are wrong. 5 star has developed their own tunes and are putting them on the SCT device. Why would 5 Star simply just sell and SCT device with SCT tunes?
