Hey folks, don't mean to beat a dead horse with this question, because I know I've seen it here in the forums, but I can't seen to find it for the life of me. What are the benefits of an SCT tuner with canned tunes? What all can I monitor with it? Can I monitor EOT and ECT? How well does the "Jake Brake" or turbo brake work? I know everyone is going to tell me to go get custom tunes, but that's not what I want to do yet, I'd like to try the canned tunes then move onto the custom ones. Thanks in advance for input and opinions are always welcome.

I read your other post and was impressed that you have had a trouble free motor that said . If you want to check vitals get a scangauge not a tuner that also checks them. One reason your motor has been good ITS STOCK leave it that way no tuner. JMHO
