AFE Scorcher Bluetooth?

I can't find a good opinion on this. I figure the Bluetooth version is too new but is probably the same as the old version. Does anyone have any experience with it or the old one? Is it better then just a peddle commander type device? Is it really worth more then a BDX? It's an easy buy for me because it is 50 state legal but for $500 is it even worth it?

I believe you will still smoke your warranty with that. I never liked boost and frp foolers because it made the engine really chatter (clackidy) when up high. That was with a power Puck though. If it were me I'd either stick with stock (keep warranty) or tune with a real tuner like ezlynk and have a plethora of different tunes from a tow tune to a max effort tune. Even have the option of deleting too but I didn't say that.

I seeee...🤔 I kind of feel the same way with my "internet research" on the subject. They seem overpriced for a generic canned tune with no monitoring and no adjustments. Ugh! Maybe I should just get a peddle commander for now. 🙄
