Default Simple Question

Superchips or SCT tuner? These are the two tuners I'ved narrowed it down to, I'm leaning towards the SCT.

the tuner doesnt matter really, its the person writing the tune, but i dont know anyone who rights for the superchips tuner, Diablo or SCT is the only way to go for tuners and Doug, Justin and Brent are the best for custom tunes....

Ok, I'm new to this so excuse my ignorance.........If I get a SCT tuner, it needs to be programed to the modifications I currently installed, i.e. intake and exhaust? With a Superchips tuner, I'm just getting a generic tuning program, right? If I'm not understanding exactly how a tuner works, can someone please explain it, in terms I can understand. Thanks.

Doesn't matter which tuner you get, you will need a custom tune from one of the guys mentioned above. If you buy the tuner from B*A*M*A or Brenspeed, they will include a custom tune for you car.
