Default Anyone using an SCT Livewire?

Is anyone using an SCT Livewire? I think this is the tuner I want to get but would like to hear from people who are using it or have used it. I am hope to get supercharged later this year. It would be cool to get the tuner now and pick up some performance and then when I get blown us it as A/F guage. I was checking it out on American Muscle and looks like it will display A/F and boost at the same time. Also the shift light would be cool if it bright enough.
Thanks you any input you can give me.

I've had it in the past before my mustang got sold, and I got it again for my F150, I like it, but I had it dyno tuned instead of using the canned tune. I would recommend them and it will be the first one I buy when I get my next mustang. Depending on where you are at in New Mexico, I got mine tuned in El Paso. I can send you the information if you like.

I'll probably just use the bama tune for now, but will definitely get a dyno tune when I get the supercharger in. Thanks for the feedback.

It will display A/F ratio and boost, via analog input. There are no factory wideband sensors or pressure gauges. Depending on what supercharger you get, it could come with a spot to hook up to. For example, the E-Force systems for the 3V's come with a T-Map sensor you can hook up your Livelink to and read boost. You'll also need to buy a wideband sensor that can be wired into the Livelink.

The new 2011's have factory widebands, so they can monitor AFR. It's not tough to wire up and it's definitely worth it to be able to watch in real-time.

Chris, thanks for the info. I just picked up a Vortech V2 head unit. Now I have to get all the stuff to go with it. Definitely planning on going with the Livewire.
