TEAM ST 03-22-2008, 04:54 AM first off all i don´t want toms tune, because i don´t came from the usa. i would get another tune. but i am careful with that, because i have heard it that the sct tune is not good for high rpm driving. i mean no track driving. i mean 2 hours with 6.000 rpms on the "highway" sleepyboy 03-22-2008, 05:01 AM ^^He's talking about being on the 'bahn. 6000krpms for 2 hrs. strait. That just sounds like fun to me I don't know about ya'll lol ken6x6 03-22-2008, 08:14 AM when i first got my sct it came with 2 tunes, i had on option of highway or street. do you have that option? SVT-SAGE 03-22-2008, 03:51 PM I've done about 15min's straight of 6000rpm's, and I have a SCT tune. No problems here except for the fact, It almost wasted half a tank of gas, and it was loud as F-L-uck in the car,lol. Blivit 03-22-2008, 04:22 PM There is a difference in an "sct tune" and an "sct tune that comes from an sct dealer." An sct tune would be one of the pre-loaded tune files that comes already loaded on the 9415 strategy flash units (xcal2) or the xcal3/livewire units. This file (only 1) is rather conservative and is safe for all around use. A file from an sct dealer would be totally different and that sct dealers own creation. They would have used sct software to create the file, but the changes would be their own so it may or may not be fine for all around use. You would have to work with the dealer to see if what they are doing is too aggressive for your use.
