Looking for a Tuner

Hey guys,

I finally removed and sold the Banks six Gun w/PDA Thank God. I have emailed Spartan 4 times now and have gotten no reply. I was wondering is there anyone else that is a site sponser that I could et a SCT or another SAFE Tuner from that is reputable and will send tunes as requested. I am going to get guages as well so i am looking for them too. I like the ISSPRO, but have used the DiProcol. Let me know what you guys think.

spartan does have a new tuner coming out in the future that should be really good and have FICM control but i know what you are saying about buying something from someone when you can't even get in touch with them. there are a few other SCT tuning companies i can think of (in alphabetical order) Dfuser, DJ, Elite, & Innovative that you may want to check into and see if they can give you the service you want/deserve.

Calling is a better option more times then not when trying to get ahold of Matt. I had just talked to him about the new 6.0 tuners last nite(really looking forward to that, even though he was able to coax into my truck already what is going to be offered with his new tuner, but I just like gadgets what can I say), while he didn't give a definative time frame(I tried to nail him down on that, but I just couldn't), it did seem like it was sooner rather then later, but that is me supposing here.

over on tdg, he said 90-120 days. Sarge, if you want a tuner and tunes quickly I recommend eric at innovative diesel. You can always get tunes from Evan later on when they are less busy.

It was going to pretty close to the tuner package that he is doing with the 6.4.

Thanks for the response Tex, but I am both unfamiliar with 6.4 tuning and what Spartan is up to, can you be more specific (that is if you know), even if it is a range.
Thanks

I agree, Eric is extremely responsive..I also have an extra SCT X3 if you are looking for one. It may be better for you to buy from your tune programmer though.

Thanks Guys,

i am assuming that SCT is still the way to go for the 6.0's. I have only found 1 post on it that someone didnt like. I am going to add the guages first and then save up for the tuner. I know that I dont want the live wire but I will call innovative in the am and se what they have to say and what it will cost for a custome tune for mu non studded engine.
