SCT question

[34bud]

So I have my Paxton all dialed in with DC tune and all was well at the dyno the numbers came in on the money. Before the Paxton I had the SCT tune with 3 tunes but now Im wondering is it of any use at this point for future mods. As always thanks for your input.

not sure i understand your question........ :dontknow:

did you load your dc tune with your sct ?

myself, i have a couple of 93 octane tunes & a valet tune on my sct..... the valet limits the rpm to 2500, good for when you have your truck in for service & ya don't want them roddin' your truck......

Well like MoparRacing mentioned you can keep your SCT for a Valet tune or tunes for any future mods you may want to do.

I can think of a good mod right now for anyone with a QC that is n.a. or forced induction- You can have your tuner set your 3-4 shift r.p.m. higher than it is now so your engine doesn't load as heavily when it short-shifts from third to overdrive at wide open throttle (which is right where they can detonate... under load and pushing a lot of air).

I've got my 3-4 shift coming in at 125 m.p.h. It has a top-end charge from hell...

Don't forget your SCT is also a code reader...

Should have clarified. I sent my ECM and the Paxton FMU to DC where they programed them for my mods. The SCT was prior to the Paxton install it had the basic 3 octane tunes in it.

You should have just had them email the DC tune and used your SCT to load it. That way you could have other tunes available..

Did you put the vehicl back to stock, before you sent the ECM to DC?

 

[34bud]

Yes I put everything back to stock before I sent them to DC

well bud i put it to my customers like this

if you plan on future mods or want a "race tune" for track days, or just plan on "tinkering" with things to get more power then a SCT or VECIII is the way to go, the vec is unlimited in tunes, the SCT is limited to a few

But if you are jsut going to install certain mods and leave it that way , then jsut a good reflash is all thats needed, no use in spending tons of money for something you really want ever use

actually not completely true...... i actually have 5 tunes currently on my computer that i can switch into any of the 3 slots in my SCT, the amount of tunes can be unlimited (only limited to 3 @ a time)....

LOLOOL ok I got a "few" fingers on my hand

what I was meaning is the number of tunes for the vec is endless, with only a card swap, to change around the tunes for the SCt requires a lil work, it all depends on how laxy ya r
