We all fuss and fight over Superchips and Diablo and which one is better but I never see anyone talking about SCT. Are they any good? I know that and DP is what Hemifever uses for his custom stuff and found a good deal on one so I was just curious before I spend Santa's money on myself.

I had SCT on my old motor, DSP on this one. Im not sure if youe 08 would be supported in SCT's software or not.

2 Diff companys. Super Chips (SC) is a handheld tuner with "canned" tunes. SCT is a company that has written files loaded on to it for your mods then tweaked from there.

I'm running canned tunes from SCT tuners in an 06 f350 and a '13 mustang gt

They do what they are supposed to, no complaints, can't really praise it all that much, it has all the basic features that most tuners on the market have

My brother is running a custom tune from SCT on his 07 mustang gt, it took a couple tries to get what he wanted but he is happy with it

When I recieved my SCT from Sean it had 3 loaded custom tunes. From what I was always told the tuner itself is blank then the tunes are installed by your tuner or downloaded online.

I have an SF3, never updated it
I didn't order it so it could have been done by the shop it was ordered from
I just plugged it in and uploaded the towing tune
There was also a sort of mild/wild/extreme set of tunes as well

SCT works for '96 to '06. For the '07 and up it's Diablo (for custom tuning). For your '08, I have the intune and trinity. The trinity is $599 and I add in my $125 custom tuning option as part of the $599 price. The intune is $439 with my $125 option built in.

Superchips is the other alternative for you as well.

Ok, thanks guys. I have the SC with trans tune but I think I'm about at the limits of what it can do, and of course, I want more. I just found a SCT at a ridiculous price and thought Sean could upgrade it. Here's my good deed of the day. If you guys with '06 or older are interested; hand held programmer. Sean, I guess I'll wait and try the Trinity from you. Do you have a trans tune option?

That's an amazing deal. Any chance you could pick it up and i'll pay you for it? Not sure if the guy would want to work with me since I'm in Indiana. Let me know!
