sct

[yodicoyote]

looking to get ahold of the guy from sct to get my sct3015 for my truck. is there also a discount code for their websiter or can I just call them and ask them if there is one and who should I talk to ? also I am looking into bama chips or hinson performance.

At Henson performance you can talk to James. He has a user name on here a forget what it is but he has been inactive for a month or so but I grabbed his email off their site and he replied within a half hour. i think it was even on a weekend. Many have been tuned from him with great success. His customer service is well above others from what i have heard. i hope to get a tune from him within a few weeks after i get some other mods done..

James at Henson Performance has been wonderful with me.

IMO, worth $379 for the firmer shifting alone. All the other great features are a bonus.

firmer shifting?

 

[Dono]

Yes, trans line pressure are among the other things that are controlled thru programming.

Proper transmission tuning has made many transmissions last far longer than they would with the factory programming.

 

[vroomzoomboom]

oh yea, he can make the trans shift WAY harder. also program pats out, turn off o2 sensors, speed governors (thats in the hand held however) ect.

 

[yodicoyote]

well I called him up today and he said that because I pretty much just have just bolt ons that I didn't need a custom tune so I had been watching a sct 3015 on ebay for a few days and it was almost ended and was cheap so I just got it but I might do some data logging and send him the data. idk yet but he did seem very knowledge on my truck so I hope to be dealing with him soon. thanks ya

I only have bolt ons as well but it's neat being able to tweak/tune/turn on/off things at your own will. I have changed mine enough and have had an increase in mpgs and power as well. But also a decrease in all these too, trial and error thats all.

 

[yodicoyote]

I did win that sct on ebay today so when it gets in I am going to try it out.Karpiel73 what do you mean by you were tweeking and tuning do u have a program or something to go in there and work on the tune or should I just wait and do some more motor stuff like maybe a supercharger or something.

 

[Karpiel73]

I didn't buy any sort of tune from anyone, i'd like to though. But on the controller itself you can do a number of things. I changed Idle rpm, egr on/off, o2s on/off and a few other things I know i'm forgetting.

 

[Dono]

Keep your eye's out for a Innovate Wideband o2 cheep also.
If your going to send James logs, he will want to see the A/F ratio also.

Between logging thru the odb2 port and a/f ratio's he can give you a great tune.

I thought o2s and egr helped gas mileage why would you want them off?

They do. I was just playing around

 

[yodicoyote]

so it would be better if I put a wideband o2 in? What about a trans temp gauage to I have a bigger pan on it because I already have a shift kit installed(the offroad/towing package)I guess I should put a guage pillar in so I can monitor those? So where should I put the wide band o2 sensor at on the exhause and should I put two in because it is dual exhaust in and out?

I can't comment on the o2 sensor but in my opinion a trans temp gauge is very beneficial. Mine lets me know when to back off and pull over if needed while pulling my trailer. They're simple to install also.

Ok so I will be looking to put a trans temp in probally as soon as possible.
