SCT with custom tunes!!!!!
I have run both Eric and Matt's tunes.
Erics tunes definately made a difference, but the shifts were a little hard for my liking. I ran the Street, Extreme street, and Extreme Race tunes and although I was satisfied It seemed like my tranny had alot of missed or up and down shifting like it didn't know what gear it wanted to be in.
I switched to Matt's tunes and have run them ever since. I run the SRL++ tune. Smooth shifts, great power, totally satisfied.

You can get an SCT livewire, but I highly don't recommend it. We nicknamed it the lemonwire for a reason. Get the XCal3 for loading tunes and a scangauge II for gauges. The SG2 will read virtually everything the PCM reads but you still have to add EGT gauge and fuel pressure gauge (HIGHLY recommended). It's not fancy but you will get all the information and it's a LOT cheaper.

Hey, how do you guys feel about the SCT canned tunes? I haven't tried custom tunes yet but the canned performance tune seems pretty good...
I noticed that on my new SF3, there is an egr off feature that you can use with the canned tunes too BTW.
