Don't go for the Lope Tune... kinda poser-ish isn't it?

I like Vivian @ QuickTricks, Matt @ Gearheads is highly recommended.

Eric @ Innovative wrote the canned SCT tunes.

I haven't run any of Chris' tunes yet but I hear very good things about them. I've heard his transmission tuning is very good also.

Matt has great tunes and his customer service is EXCELLENT, as is Vivians.

Pretty sure you can use any computer with the SCT.

Needs to be Window's based PC. The Mac based can be used, but heard of too many issues.

I use a Mac and thought I was better off with my Panasonic ToughBook laptop
for the SCT and the Ford DVD manuals. That an I found out that you don't
have a high power USB ports it won't work also. That was a surprise. The
people at SCT were very good with the tech support on that one.
