SCT makes a pro racer package that sells for around $800.

It comes with a supported product, starter tunes, live phone tech support, and dealer training classes, inhouse chassis dyno for testing and R&D.

You can sell a product a lot cheaper if you don't have the above things.

It sounds like you work at SCT

I think the price and the method of loading tunes probably reflects the lack of competition in the market thus far... the times they are a changin...

Next year should be a whole lotta fun i think! Once again, the big winner will be the tunershops and car enthusiasts - competition is good.

MSD/Superchips/HPT will be offering the same support as mentioned above.
Ryan does work for SCT. He just doesn't think we know it

Change screen names again?

I have been using 'slow' since 2000 on the bad site ls1.com. If you look at the other sites I post on with the same name, it is no secret where I work.

Out of respect for the board rules here, I don't have any links to non paying vendors in my profile anymore.

SCT's pro racer package looks like a pretty good deal. It also appears to have a heck of a lot more documentation than my LT1_edit does.

Just curious. What is the difference between SCT and Superchips? I thought they were either related or the same company. What's the deal here?

To the casual onlooker they look like the same company SuperChipsTuning...SCT. I wanted to know if they were separate entities or if SCT was a spinoff from SuperChips or ex SuperChips employees etc. Just looking for some info.

SCT started with 3 individuals who were prominent in the aftermarket, they started working together and then they took their idea to Superchips Inc. SCT was then created. Not really ex employees or a spinoff (thank god).
