I'd never heard of this so I had to search:

The ultimate in 6.4L Twin Turbo Diesel Horsepower & Torque! The SCT EXTREME Race Upgrade Package will instantly add +120 Rear Wheel Horsepower & +200lbs of Torque to your 6.4L Diesel!
SCT's stock 2008 6.4L 4dr F-250 ran an insane 14.67@88.87MPH with just the addition of this package!


http://ophion.site5.com/~dieselta/store/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=livewire&osCsi d=96430cd44367027ffbeeacff9a1f591f





Impressive numbers. Look forward to reading your experience with it, SouthTexasDiesel.

well i put my extreme SCT on two days ago and the thing huals ****. i had an 07 6.0 with turbo back 5" exhuast and the edge juice with attitude and that truck rocked. now I have the extreme tuner,AFE cold air intake, and DPF back 5" magna flow on my 6.4 with 38" tires,and it will walk all over my old 07.
i paid $1600 shipped for the complete tuner, intake and exhaust from ETR performance in tennessee.
the tuner by itself you can get for $820 shipped.

Yes it does void the warranty, if they catch you. But I didn't buy this thing to race my truck. I only got the Extreme package because it came with the EGT sensor and window mount. Purchasing those seperate would have cost more. I will be rarely be using that extreme setting, maybe once or twice when one of the GM or Dodge boys pull up next to me.

The main reason I got the SCT was because the will be releasing out a custom tune for the Livewire soon that allows you to remove the entire emmisions system, and never worry about another regen cycle. And yes that too voids your warranty, and I'm gonna keep the DPF in my barn just incase I ever need to put it back on. Till then, 6" stacks.

Yea, it sucks living in a state where you must have all that crap!!!!! Those tuners are the cheapest HP I have ever seen....I'm stuck with pretty much a stock truck until the warranty is up...

ETR is a great place to deal with as long as your not wanting something custom. They are about 5 minutes from me.

There are only a few counties in Texas that require emmisions testing, mainly around the large cities. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, etc. Thankfully I'm no where nere them. I'm just gonna keep my old system intact just incase I need to get a repair done. If I ever have to bring it back to Ford it will be returned to stock completly, except for the hole in the bed where the stacks will run through.

Well I got it in last week, but it's not on yet. For some reason mine had the old firmware and tune versions and it's a no go for now. SCT was supposed to send me the updates on friday, obvoiusly they didn't come through. So after waiting through this extremely long three day weekend, hopefully it will be sent to me first thing tomorrow.

So my wannanty isn't quite voided yet, but hopefully it will be soon. LOL. Remember, it isn't voided unless you get caught.
