Angry Tunning with SCT DCX

Has anyone tuned with a SCT tuner on a 96 dodge? I have built a 408 mag and so far have only tuned to keep it running. From what I've found the SCT tuner is backwards (Torr not PSI, tables not able to copy and paste...) was wondering if there is anyway to tune past 5000 RPM, cold start adders? Any help would be great. At this point SCT seems to not even want to deal me mostly because I have sent it back to them many times, killed several PCM's, software issues ect.

Yep sounds about right. I gave up on mine.
No more dodge gassers for me. Not enough support for em.

If it's OBDII, Hemifever should be able to tune it. OBDI, not so much...

The factory PCM is quite clunky and limited for tuning. You'd be better off with a standalone, probably would have been the same money, too.

I have been leaning towards a stand alone but have a lot invested in the SCT DCX, along with the tuning software and key. I'm somewhat of a novice at electronic tuning but have had experience with other tuning software and have been disappointed from day one with SCT. Thanks for all the input.

I'd also hit up Sean and ask some questions. Hemifever@aol.com
