new sc 3865

[BLKDODGE04]

about to send the money for a sc 3865. finally going to get one! any suggestions before i buy?

 

[GhostRam94]

are you planning on getting deep into the motor??

 

[BLKDODGE04]

not really, later after this **** is paid off im probably going to get a new truck. maybe headers and possibly cams but it all depends. 4.56 gears, cai, and tuner are some for sure things as of now. i think? hell i dont know haha. what i say im going to do and what actually gets done are 2 different things.

 

[GhostRam94]

oh yeah with only the 4.7 i would just get the sc and then when you get a bigger motor and get into it then go for the diablos

225 sound ok for an unlocked 3865 thats 6 months old?

Just make sure you get a good deal on it or it may not be worth it for you.

If a cam is in your future, you need the Diablo. The SC products are for basically stock engines. But they are great for correcting tire size and gear ratios. Also good for turning off MDS and TPS.

Im not convinced any tuners actually increase power on a dead stock NA engine enough to be noticeable. But the changes in shift points and torque management do increase performance.
