Default Sct???

A friend of mine just got his ZX3 Focus tuned by them, and there is an SCT tuner close to UCF. What does everyone think about SCT Tune???

My opinion is biased I use the SCT Advantage software to tune my car.

Full custom tuning software, programmed to a convient handheld programmer.

Allows some major advantages over other options, such as keep your stock tune, and have up to 3 tunes for your vehicle, with just a 30 second time to switch tunes.

That is awesome. I am a noob to tuning, so I guess what I would do is load in the tune I have now as my stock tune, and then go from there I guess.

How much for an SCT tune kit?

I didn't know it was out yet for the F-body crews. SCT was dragging their feet with the software, and I lost interest. If it is out and a sponsor has it post up a price of what they are going for or what they will be going for.

It is out for the f-cars, as far as end user flash tools. (no end user custom tuning software yet)

Wait4me is a sponsor, contact him for pricing.

I have been using SCT for Fords for a few years now. I am so impressed with their software and company that I am paying thru the nose for one GM tuning license at a time waiting for SCT's custom GM software. But it's been a long wait am my patience is wearing down. But one thing I've learned about tuning software, never commit to one company for the long term because of the leap frogging of better companies usually come along.

SCT has two great features, quick PHONE tech support and a thing called "value files" that automatically goes out and makes several changes to a program at once. An example is, if you add a super charger you pick that value file for your program and it makes dozens of changes to your program's tables for all at once. Same for different injectors, MAFs etc. Disclaimer - other then being a dealer, I have no other financial or personal interest in them, etc, etc.

I have been able to see the sct softwear a little and its pretty good softwear they dont really have much logging capability yet but once they get things sorted out it will be great. The biggest thing to me is that they have live tech support on the phone you cant get that from other companys. As for the value flies they are hit or miss i would rather do things my way but it is nice for cars that only need minor changes somtimes they do the whole thing for you.
