SCt Vs. Superchips
I currently have the superchips 1706 and am not completely satisfied with the power. What are some of your thoughts on the SCt programmers. BTW I do have a 4" MBRp turbo back.

I just purchased the Superchips 1805 tuner and I tell you what it is worth every cent I paid for it. I have been driving around with the performance tune the last couple of weeks and that is really wild. I just hooked it up to my PC and downloaded the updated flash from Superchips “Flashpaq Tune-Up” program and I am about to go out and try the middle tune (I believe econo tune) and see what that is about for the next two weeks.
Performance tune is really cool but it is just that a performance tune that wants to go go go ! I want to see if the econo tune is more for me! YMMV

A custom tuned SCT will deliver more HP/TQ then a SCMT anyday. It is also nice to know that it will control the trans. FYI... the fastest 6.0's are running SCT. Email me or post up if you have any questions.

Correct, a CUSTOM tuned SCT tuner.
The Inc. unit is a mass-market product. It's great consistent, driveable, reliable power, but it was build with a safety net, not to push the limits.
It could have been built with a little more punch and a lot more smoke, but it targets a different demographic.
If you want to go for the gold, SCT (with the correct custom file) will get you the most power.

And putting a programmer of any kind is politically correct? Why do you insist on being a pessimist on any box but your beloved SCMT? I didn't tell the poster that I thought it was junk did I?? No I stated well known and proven facts. I didn't slam or bag on your box. Why do you insist on doing so? Is that the only way you can sell those boxes? I am done with this thread. Tell the users about how great the SCMT is now.

I'm not a pessimist about the SCT programmer at all.
It's GREAT for the racey crowd. The SCT makes the most power with the correct custom program, but its still for a different crowd than the SCMT.
How is that being a "pessimist"?
I call it more like being a realist.
If I had a truck for myself, I'd probably have the SCT programmer.
If I had a truck my girlfriend or one that employees were driving, I'd probably have the SCMT.
I like them both a lot, and I've made this *abundantly* clear over the past year or two.

QUE?
are you reading the same thread?
if so, the post you made makes no sense.... i even read the thread 3 times....LOL
put the coffee down..................
ohh, and i like the scmt personally, when i get rid of my truck, i can sell the programmer to anyone with an 03-05 as well.....
but, if i only put 12k miles a year, i would have an sct.... i do not get to keep trucks more than 3 years, as i will not own one without a warranty. (30-35k/year)

What you are calling a SC Flashpaq is made by a different company, its made by SUPERCHIPS. www.superchips.com
This company makes the SUPERCHIPS Tuners as well as the Flashpaq tuners among some other products you will see on thier website.These products are as manufactured, not able to be custom tuned.
What you are calling a SC SCT is actually made by SCT www.sctflash.com
SCT makes the SCT XCalibrator2 as well as some other products you will read about on thier website.
As described above, the SCT is more the HARD CORE tuner, and it has more adjustability and tunability built into even the basic STRATEGY FLASH device, and its a basic no holds barred situation if you go with custom tuning. There are a few well know custom tuners in the arena, you dont have to look to far to find one. This site has its own performance parts store called MOTOR-HAVEN that actually sells all of the above mentioned devices....both the SCT and the Superchips (Also known as SCMC) products....and more.
I hope I made things clear for you...I understand it is a muddy water to traverse as you first start wading in...but keep reading and asking and you will get your head full of information that will get you what you need.

"SCMC" , that must be a typo.
SCMT (SuperChipsMicroTuner)refers to Superchips Inc (Flashpaq, 1704, 1704-A and 1706)
SCT is as you mentioned. Superchips Custom Tuning.
The two companies worked together closely in the past, hence the similarity in their base tunes, however....they no longer work together.
They are totally separate companies with separate product lines and SCT is more into the "custom" market, where they can provide special tunes upon request.
Superchips Inc is also supposedly getting back into the custom market with services such as propane tunes, etc...

Plenty of room now.
If you are a new member, it may not let you send me a PM for a set amount of time. (I think this forum works that way).
