SCT livewire versus DP tuner

was reading some of the specs and info on the livewire from SCT. Has anyone run one ? I know how many 7.3'ers have the DP tuner and love it.

Anyone think the SCT is a glorified Edge ? Is it comparable to a DP ?

I'm just curious which way to go when I add my tunes.

I dont know how it compares to a DP tuner chip, but i never see anyone running them, maybe it's just that new. However SCT (Not to be confused with Superchips Micro tuner) knows what they are doing, they tune several of the high hp 6.0's out there.

They have been concintrating on major corporate/manufacturing deals where they are selling thousands of units according to Rick Trudo Pres/CEO. I've been impressed with what he has show and told me and when I know him a little better I'm going to ask him to set me up. I only know him because our daughters are friends. He seems like a straight shooter.

When you get set up, let us know. I too am curious. I need to research this some more.

Its gonna be a while unless he's giving them away or gives me a real good deal. I have alot of things going on right now that require $$$. there are some things more important than racing. Did I just say what I think I said. Excuse me while I slap myself. Now I know I'm getting old.

I was in MD close to you the last 2 months for some work. I used to live in Bowie, MD but moved to FL about 2 yrs ago. Haven't been to KY in 25 yrs. Truck runs great except for some tranny problem that I've had for about 6 months. Now that I'm home and have some time I'm going to flush my tranny and try cleaning out the springs... see if that works. If not I'll try a Sonnex valve kit and If that dosn't fix it I guess I'll have to pull the trans.
