[QUOTE="03Steve, post: 13414294, member: 5016"] Here's my review... I've tuned cars over the years with both Advantage 2 and 3. I would say it is the best platform to learn on. There are four levels of public access, typically Pro Racers get level 1. Dealers get level 3. Level 4 is the highest level; allowing end users access to chronometric, drive by wire, cam timing, and other categories. Level 4 access is granted to end users that go through SCT-sponsored training. The drive by wire access is one driver behind that. Advantage 2 has been discontinued now for about four years. SCT actually has it in their current license agreement that you agree not to use 2. That's a shame, because the descriptions for a lot of items and the general overview on some categories are much better in 2 than they are in 3. I especially enjoyed Jerry's overview notes on automatic shift scheduling ("no matter how good you think you are at transmission tuning", lol) For one reason or another, many of the old descriptions and overviews didn't make their way into Advantage 3. Advantage 3 however provides more overall PCM access, and supports more vehicles. SCT currently requires the end user to connect to the internet for updates and big brother stuff (per the EULA). The files you create with SCT software are the property of SCT, and you are considered a "work for hire" per the EULA. There are positives and negatives with any tuning platform. But for learning on a stock Ford PCM, SCT is the best place to start in my opinion. LaSota's manual is an excellent resource. If you get as far as you want to go with SCT and want to know more, then you may end up in the same boat with other single end users and dealers in the EFI tuning world. Enjoy. It's fun. [/QUOTE]
