[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 14962250, member: 142081"] I love being able to self tune but I really don't like SCT's stuff, In the 1.5 years I've had it I've had my hand held lock up twice both after updating the xcal then flashing it. Once I was able to get it fixed over the phone after 3 nights of being on hold after I got off work. The other time I had to mail it in and cost me about $90 bucks. i think I'd look at a binary editor based solution, like a quarterhorse and BE, then burn a chip after its all said and done. The big advantage to this is tuning on the fly. I have this setup on my streetrod and it literally takes 15 seconds to make the change in your laptop and flash the pcm while its running. You get to see the immediate effect your tune has rather than shutting the car off, reloading a tune to the hand held then reflashing your car to try to see if it made a difference.I also love looking at my datalogs in eecanalyzer as I find it so much easier to read than in livelink. The Binary Editor/chip does have its downfalls as they say the chips only last like 20 years, so flashing your pcm is the better solution. I need to do some more researching but the next time I get banged by SCT I think I'm going to go with Package #1 on here. [URL]http://coretuning.net/shop[/URL] as I think thats the best overall solution. $650 seems hefty, but honestly an Xcal is $3-400 new and then advantage is another $400+. [/QUOTE]
