Vic,
Need a couple answers I could not get from SC. Would it be feasible to use an Excalibrator for transmission control improvements only, and use an Edge Juice/Attitude in conjunction with it. What do I request when ordering, that the trans. parameters are the only changes I am after?

Thanks,
Tim
P.S. I will o.d. on information and still ask for more.... so give me a wheelbarrow full

If you want the SCT stuff, I would recommend having Motorhaven order you a Pro Racer package and flash tuner, with which you can do the tuning yourself. I can walk you through any of the programming, if you need help with it. This is definately the way to go if you are looking for more extreme high-performance tuning.

If not, just call Motorhaven and get an out-of-the-box tuner, and it will do all you will (most likely) need it to do. The Edge box will toast the tranny if you are racing it (without the transmission tuning).

PSD....I saw where you were p...ed about the tuner stuff threads, so I was afraid to ask you for info. I have done quite alot of GM gasoline tuning, but the diesels, and especially Fords, are new to my driveway, so any help is very much appreciated. I need the HP for towing and hotrodding, but I occasionally allow not-so-savvy-about mechanical-things drivers (girfriends) in my truck, so need the convenience of the quick detune of a fuel box, so, looking for the best of all worlds. I myself drive very hard, so I need the most reliable tuning components/features I can come up with. I really would hate to buy a 6.0 or even a trans. until it becomes absolutely necessary.

Thanks for the help

Tim

They can do it for you.
Remember The excalibrator is not a Superchips Inc product, it is SCT (separate company).
I do not work for SCT.
