Which Tuner??
Basically all i want to do is buy a tuner that i can adjust my rev limiter with and turn off traction control without pushing the button everytime. Which Tuner would be the best for what i want to do?

RE: Which Tuner??
I will not suggest a tuner to you if you are going to change your rev limiter. I will have no part in helping you destroy your engine. By the way a stock 4.6 does not make power past 5500rpms.

RE: Which Tuner??
I dont want to adjust the rev limiter alot i just want to bump it up from 6500rpm to 7000rpm. And i dont have a stock 4.6. My car is supercharged. And i mainly want a tuner to turn off traction control so i dont have to push the button everytime i start my car.

RE: Which Tuner??
Is your engine forged? Have you upgraded your valvetrain? Have you ported your heads? Do you have a different intake manifold? If the answer is to those are no then you have a stock 4.6L. The first 2 if those are not done then you will blow the engine. The second 2 you will get no gain if those arn't done. If your motor is stock why is the rev limiter at 6,500 (bad tuner).

If you are supercharged then you have a tune in it and will have to go to a tuner to get those changes made or you risk messing up your tune since most handhelds require you to install their tune inorder to modify those perameters.

RE: Which Tuner??
Ok, 1st of all i dont know for sure what is all done to my engine cuz it was all done when i bought it. I talked to the guy that traded it in the the dealership and he wouldnt tell me squat about the car bcuz he was mad that i have it. Therefore idk why my rev limiter is at 6500rpms. What about totally turning off my traction control, is there a cheap tuner just for that?

RE: Which Tuner??
You have two good choices. Diablosport or SCT
Both are equally as popular and will both do what your looking for. I have had both and I dont see a difference.
I have no idea what oxfordgt is talking about making no power past 5500 rpms. I rev my bitch to 6500 all day long and make plenty of power N/A and on nitrous, it even shows on my dyno sheet my power doesn't really drop till 6000.
