SCT is the best programmer out there. Read about how SCT does their tuning, and read about how Superchips does theres.

when i go to purchase it, it says that it ships blank and that i have to go to a sct dealer and have it programmed. no programming in it until i go to a sct dealer and have it done?am i understanding that right?

and did you see that the new superchips is rated at 46hp and 59torque for the 98-03 5.9?

Generic tunes vs custom tunes, a custom tune made for your vehicle wins every time.

kinda seems like a pain.599$ for the sct and probably have to pay them to program it. thats to much $. and 40miles to the closest sct dealer.

No cost for minor tunes. If you throw a supercharger on there or something that requires major tune change, its $50, but you can also email

hemifever@aol.com

and he will get you one at that price WITH tunes included, guaranteed. Just tell him your specs.

Tune comes free with SCT, alone with all minor tunes afte that. But major changes to the engine heads, blowers etc. will be 50 for a re-tune
