Whats the SCT model exactly? If its not the XCalibrator 2 for Dodge/Chrysler, it won't work for our trucks.

Don't forget you'll still have to pay a SCT authorized dude some coin to program it for you. Usually around one or two benjamins, IIRC.

If it is the XCalibrator 2 for Dodge/Chrysler vehicles, and you're comfortable with the extra programming cost, go for it. The SCT tuner is one of the best tuners money can buy for our trucks.

well the thing is that sct doesnt come with a canned tune like with your hypertech or superchips programers. Most customers who have bought an sct tuner usually have done modifications to their trucks, therefore modified engines need a customized tune otherwise the engines full potential may not be exposed. I bought my sct from a guy over this website. i havent had it programmed for my truck yet because i plan on doing some engine work in the near future. so im going to wait to get my custom tunes.

The Super Chips will also recalibrate for different tire sizes other than stock.
