It still wont do custom tuning though, and I do not want to have to deal with a piggy back setup. If the SC did custom tuning I would have probably never switched to be honest. But I cant really complain with the gains Im getting either so its alright...

 

I have to admit adjusting firmness would be nice. But until I actually see it released it's all hype to sell tuners IMO.

 

No hype. Spoke with programmer today. They're testing it right now. Should be released to beta testers in the near future.

Interesting post about how the valve body or shift kit could work contrary to what the truck's computer is trying to accomplish.

There is a guy near me selling one of the new 3865's cheap, I might have to buy it and do a head to head comparison between the 3865 and the DSP.

 

i have an o4 with a 5.7 hemi whats the best programer for this year?

 

Howdy folks,
I have created a DSP convert. My friend currently has a sc 3815 and with all the lip service going on and with the latest anouncement that I showed him on the other thread he asked me if I would loan my DSP to him for a little while to try out, So I did. Well he was really happy with it, I just about had to beat him up to get it back, lol.

My friend is on a tight budget. It looks like the average going rate for the 3815's is about $220. The DSP tuner with the usb kit can be had new with full warranty for $375 shipped or used for $280 to $300 shipped.

So my question is this, Is the warranty and support worth the extra $75 to $95 dollars in your opinion?

My thought is this, For the DSP tuner it is worth the extra money. There is to much risk of getting a tuner that hasn't been properly unlocked. And having the support from diablo is worth the money.

What do you think?

 

I've never needed a warranty with any DSP 'ive owned. So IMO as long as it's unlocked with the usb kit i'd go used...the problem will be finding one. I'd also get on my friend about selling the 3815 if he's serious about it...their demand/price will go down once the mainstream catches wind of the trans update deal and/or when it launches.

Good job on the convert too

 

Yeah, But can you get the custom stuff done if you still buy it used. I have seen about 3 of the DSP u3173's for sell for $300. And he just missed one off craigslist for $280.

I think I have it sold to a guy locally for $240. My friend is supposed to meet with him tommorow night. If it falls thru, you interested ?

 

So did anyone else get this PM a gew days back?

 

Nope, didn't get it but interested if it works. This is the idea that I was kind of kicking around a little while back.
