No response within an hour? Go buy it somewhere else, thats TERRIBLE customer service!

Hemifever is really good. Give him 24 hours or so. I put my truck to the 87 tune the other day thinking of how I may get better mileage, but I got literally four blocks down the road and realized how much I hate driving the truck anywhere near stock now. I absolutely love the high octane tune, just gotta stomach the lower mileage (about 13 MPG mixed driving). Doesn't help that I drive like a mad man, I suppose.

So I'm guessing your another happy owner of this tuner? Haha, was it a noticeable, or super noticeable difference? I'm just not real familiar with tuners and what not.. Got a question, will this fix my spedometer from showing me 5-8 mph from what Im actually goin? (33" tires) ?

The SCT does not have the speedo calibration in it, as that is supposedly a separate part of the computer's memory (or some such) that its not designed to get to. The SCT is designed to be a simple, good tuner, and can read DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes, or "check engine light" codes).

Your speedo should not be off by that much with 33" tires. Even if your truck came with the smallest tires possible from the factory, unless you are doing well over 80, 5 MPH off or less would be pretty accurate.

DSP isn't available for our year of trucks.

If it was, I'd have one, because they can data log and continue to update the programmer functions. SCT just kind of sat on their hands after they launched the custom tunable functions. They promised Data logging as a sales point and never delivered.

But, it's all we have for now.
