What is an LL3 file? My previous BamaChips tunes for the Predator have been FRG files.

LL3 files are for SCT X-cal devices

You can adjust:

Global spark degrees, Spark 0 - 2000rpm, Spark 2000 -4000 rpm, Spark 4000 - 8000rpm, WOT air/fuel ratio, Axle ratio, Tire size (revs/mile), Speed limit (includes off), Rev limit drive, Rev limit neutral, Idle speed drive, Idle speed neutral, Low speed fan (deg), and High speed fan (deg).

They are the same adjustable parameters for both Brenspeed and Bama and come preset according to your car's characteristics and the tune you ordered.

Thank you for the answer! so as i understand it then the only parameter that is not modifyable then is the traction control... (such a pain IMO)
The reason I ask is because i got my tuner from american muscle and a free tune with it and there is next to nothing for modifyable parameters and I just want to make sure so i dont have to keep buying tunes.. Im thinking the good old TQ tune because its just more fun with more TQ !!!! does anyone know the actual differences between the numbers??? a dyno chart would be ideal but beggers cant be choosers

+1 on the traction control. You can not turn off the Traction control with the SCT on the Mustang (2008 anyway) tunes. Evidently it is a modifyable parameter on some other vehicles.

Another +1 on the dyno charts....

I have all three from Doug, called before programming and told him it was my weekend driver. First Doug told me to load the torque tune and I asked why not the performance tune? Doug said, once you go with the performance tune you won't go back... I have not. I guess maybe I'll load the torque just to try it.

So couldn't someone just write down all of the parameters and give them to someone?
