SC= Superchips Tuner, comes pre loaded with canned tunes, no custom tuning available with it but it has trans support for the 04's on up
SCT= Hand held custom tuner, only supports custom tunes though, no preloaded tunes
Cannned Tune = Tunes pre-loaded onto a hand held tuner
CMR = Custom Tune for the DSP
DSP = Diablo Sport Predator - Hand held tuner, comes preloaded with canned tunes but has the ability to custom tune the engine and on some years the trans
PSC1 = Device used to dial in a tune if you do not have a hand held tuner

For the cam, if you cant tune it, it will do more harm than good. If I were you, I would get in touch with HemiFever (google his website) and tell him the specs on the cam and see if he thinks it can run without a tune or if he can do something to tune it for you. There are other tuners out there but he does know quite a bit about dialing them in

This thread got a lot bigger than I ever expected. Lol. Love the info though. To answer some of your acronyms.

SCT is another type of tuner that stacks with the super chips.
Canned tune is a general tune already put on the tuner when purchased. Thus no need to write a tune through custom tuning.
And DSP is Diablo Sport Predator. It's another programmer. And the one most who do big engine mods or want custom tuning use. As it has the ability to load in outside written tunes.

Alright, time to bring this thread up again. Hope everyone is doing well. I probably should have started my own thread instead of jacking Blackedouthemi's but all the info is here already so-I decided to go with the cam the engine builder put in and keep my fingers crossed. Money is tight so it took a while to get everything together. Just fired her up for the first time last night. Cranked her over with the fuel line disconnected in order to build the oil pressure for the first start. Connected the fuel line, cranked her again and after about three complete revolutions she fires right up. I cant beleive it. It sounds good, let it idle for a couple minutes, checking for leaks and such, shut her down to recheck fluids. Go to restart and now wont start unless I am holding the pedal down. Once fired I have to to keep tapping the pedal to get her to run at all. I can get it to run at 2000 rpm holding the pedal down but if I let it fall below 2000 it wants to stall. As far as I know the computer and tune is all stock. Other than the previoius info mentioned on the truck, I installed some gibson shorty headers and there tri y.
As far as disabling the stock computer to reboot., can you just disconnect the negative side battery cable or do you need to disconnect the positive?

Time to invest in some tuners? Has anything new come out for the 03's?

Thanks for any info...
