Well, you guys talked me into it...

I called up Matt @ Spartan today and ordered my X3. I will be getting the ultra economy tune, the hybrid tune, and the heavy tow, once I get the programmer. Matt said it would go out first thing in the morning, so I'm hoping I will have it by saturday. Now I gotta start saving for my mbrp

As soon as I get through with Christmas I too will be calling Matt. I can't hardly wait, but I guess Santa needs to come first.

Good luck with the truck but I said the same thing. Now the list is as follows:

2500 radio
2500 bumpers
1400 winch
3500 banks system
10000 to replace head bolts, banks system and install other items that I had Matt perform
1500 in new tires and replacing front end bushings and ball joints
I believe there is more but I cant remember what.

Sounds like newbie stuff.
You didn't plan to mod your truck, Did you woman tell you not to?
Man-up, we mod EVERYTHING! My plans were to not mod my truck until the
first payday after I got it home.

To each his own, play as you can choose to pay.

Called Matt monday at 3 pm, and ordered a SCT X3 from him. The unit arrived at 1 pm wednesday called Matt at 3 pm got the recorder and left a message. He called me back 45 minutes later, by that time I had pulled my trucks PCM strategy codes. So Matt told me to E-mail the 3 tunes I wanted along with the strategy codes at 4:30 pm. At 10 pm received my custom tunes. At 11 pm Hybrid Race loaded in my truck and I have been having a ball ever since!!!!!!! Thank you Matt for awakening my truck and me. Folks all in 3 days now that is FAST, Thanks again Matt. QUOTE]

Programmer arrived yesterday (monday) I loaded up the regular sct street tune and made no other changes last night, and all I can say is wow. I got to work this morning and my tunes were waiting for me in the email...I think I feel a bout of the 12 hour flu coming on

I called Matt as well. Yesterday in fact and ordered my X3. I cant wait to get it in a install Matt's tunes. I have a feeling my gas mileage is going to take a little hit while I have fun for a couple of tanks.
