Which SCT Tuner?
Have been thinking about getting a tuner for sometime now, just don't know which one to get. Should I get the SF3/X3 or the livewire tuner? Either way will most likely will be purchasing from american muscle, I buy all my mustang stuff from them.
|
The cheapest one will load a tune just as well as the most expensive. Unless you want the bells and whistles, just get the X3.

I was looking at tuners, thought how cool it would be to have a shift light, touch screen, etc. But then I realized that I would have to leave it plugged in all the time. I'm a pretty big guy, didn't need a cord to get tangled up in. I went with the SF3/X3. Bought my car used and didn't know if it was tuned or not. Loaded the 91 Race tune (probably leave it in cause I drive like a maniac). Bumped me from 104 to 106mph in my unscientific 1/4 mile.

You can also look into the SCT iTSX wireless tuner, it works on iPad, iPhone, Android devices. If not just get the X3
|
Thanks for the quick responses... I was thinking about the livewire because it stays plugged in and of all the extra stuff it could do. A guy on craigslist is willing to sell me his for $250 and once I paid for the tunes it would cost the same as the X3... But how accurate do you think it is.. It says it can est torque and hp etc
|
We can estimate HP and torque, too, except probably just a wee bit less accurately.
|
The performance of the car is going to be the same, regardless. If you can get a more expensive tuner for the same or the better price than a cheaper one, go for it. I have an xcal2, with basically no features. Would I pay more to get a more featured one? no way. There are other things I could spend my money on that will actually make a difference as far as how fast my car is.
|
Thanks again for the replies... Josh did you notice any difference after the tune?
|
Yes, I've had to go back and forth between tuned and not several times due to some issues with my PCM. Definitely get a tune
|
i have the livewire and the hp/tq estimates are not accurate.
