Smile Innovative tune ?

I have a few questions about the SCT Innovative tunes. What is the differance between the hot street and the race street? I was also told they have a sled pull tune that makes the torque shift auto a full manual? What are the basic tune levels from SCT? I had a Predator Diablo but sold it. That thing made my trans shift like crap and would make it slip on the highest stage. I sent it back three times and they never got it right. I want a tuner that has lots of adjustment and one setting for when I sled pull. Any info would be great.

Call Matt or Jeremy at Long Island Performance Diesel. They can answer all your questions about the SCT tuners. Actually there are no "basic" tune levels for the SCT since it's custom programming capability makes the levels infinite. It has full tranny control and can be used for propane or nitrous, but we really believe in doing it on #2 diesel and air. You can click the link in my signature for more information.

So it is a build your own tune? SCT gives you the tools to down load and some one else creates the programs (tunes)?

Yes, give Eric at Innovative or Long Island Diesel a call and they will custom program a tune for your needs. If you get it and want to make changes they can send them to you via email.

You can ask Eric at Innovative these questions, he is good at what he does and gets back with you pretty quick http://innovativediesel.com. He did my SCT tunes. I have: aggressive tow with turbo brake, street, and xtreme race tunes.

The custom tuners create the tunes and email you the files. The SCT is updatable with some free software available online and a USB cable.

The Xtreme race tune is insane, it shifts hard and firm to get the power to the ground, and pins your head to the head rest. I haven't done a 4WD launch with it yet, and haven't used this tune that much because the EGT's are so high when its WOT, I don't want to damage anything by running those temps regularly. The Street tune is awesome as well, I took my Dad for a ride yesterday, and did a 4WD launch, he wasn't paying attention and I bounced his head off the head rest when the light turned green

He was shocked when I did that, and said he's going to try it in his Chevy . He said that he hopes he doesn't blow up his engine doing it . Your going to love your SCT. Did you get it from Innovative Diesel?
