Ok now I got the funds to buy the JLT w/sct x-2,something new pops up (I think) Anyways take
a look at this info and help me out.Is this $764 live wire kit something really useful or not.To me it sounds
like the regular SCT with gauges and shift light combined?Things I could wait for.
Thanks

Livewire would be good if it worked: find the SCT site and forums and see what a nightmare it is, so far.

Of course the posters are only the complainers, but they do complain, and rightly so, it seems. I like the Livewire idea, but may not have the patience to wait for SCT to finish the product development. Looks like they learned from software developers: let the customers do the testing.

Ok I'm starting to get the picture..lol.I'm going with the Regular kit!
I've also heard to go with the SCT and not Diablosport due to some shops
being unable to tune with them..??

howarmat

it seems that more shops use SCT for tuning....but you should check your local shop first because they might use diablo instead and then you still have to get it!

Ok I'll give them a call....thanks
