Is it worth the chance? Do I just buy one anyway? $350 for a SCT is cheap insurance vs. melting one down.

def worth it in case you need to reflash the comp, plus you get tunes for life through american muscle with any new mods you do down the road

Thanks, excellent point, didn't think about future mods. Guess IF I am already tuned, there is no chance of ever going back to stock at this point. Guy before me could have thrown the tuner in the trunk. Course, he could have left me the owner's manual too.

Thank you, this is a fantastic resource for a new owner. I know cars and mechanical issues...but when it comes to all of the ins and outs of something different, things can get complicated.

Thanks guys! I watched the install video on Steeda's website, that's got to be the one. So if I tune now, will the tuner just download whatever I have now as "stock"? The tuner shouldn't know or care what I have in the computer already.

In theory yes it should.

Welcome, sir. Tell your wife goodbye as you head to the garage with a wrench and some determination.

You won't be seeing her for a while lmao

Are you reading my mind??? Just ordered the SF3/X3 and mirror covers and chrom seat releases (one is missing), and a cool plug for the power point that will probably add at least 5 hp! Heard someone complaining about their wife making them sell a car, just laughed and said my wife just let me buy one. Kind of lucky that this car already had around $1000 worth of mods.
