I know you have probably read over on PSN that Jody and I will be coming out with our own software version that will allow gearheads to be able to tune their own trucks. This will not allow you to tune for other trucks but mearly refine what you have and make ajustments needed when you want to. Ours will be a completely different venue to what is already available. I have no idea when this will be completed. We have other products coming out soon. That is our focus right now. When it is available hopefully you can try it out and let us know how it compares.
Be safe out there.

Tuning for a living is certianly not what Jody and I envisioned ourselves doing when we grew up, but we have made a business out of it. We have alot of fun doing it and have made alot friends along the way. I would not trade it for the world. We are not the first to do this and I am certain we won't be the last. I think its great people are taking the initiative to learn how to tune. It is something you have to be dedicated to.................................... There were alot of the original version mislabled and it took Jody alot of time to figure out what was wrongly mislabled. So when people say that Jody uses the same thing that everyone else does it makes me chuckle. The base may be the same, but his is his and theirs is theirs.
As for the making a business out of it and enjoying it because of the people along the way....GREAT JOB!! I wish I could say the same for my career choice! It's a cold day in July when someone says that they love their job!

And I hope that I have not offended you in any way. I re-read my original post and decided that it may have been kind of harsh (the pirated part). I in no way meant that as a direct hit to ANY of the current tuners as this information has been out of Ford for quite some time.....but the info came from somewhere back in the day........

Jody was a 20 year career man in the IT field when he decided to take a leap of faith on this we call his hobbyjob. It can be done.
And trust me there's alot to be found in the 7.3. There is alot left to be ventured. No offense taken. If you need anything let us know.

The MAIN difference between DP Tuner and Sniper is that with DP Tuner you are dealing with a PROFESSIONAL business and a man who has been dedicated to tuning for quite a few years (since 2001 I think don't quote me) and makes a living doing it. He has experience with most every tuning aspect of the 7.3 and tuning for various customer needs. He is AWESOME at what he does and has a cult-like following. Proven programs, excellent customer service, and the available F-5 switcher which is light-years ahead of what others are using (archaic rotary switches) make DP Tuner great.
Sniper on the other hand sells tunes that work but aren't very refined....you can change a few parameters as you desire, but just selecting from a drop-down menu can only give you so much "refinement". The only way to REALLY get what you want is to get the full-on Delta Force program.
I'll PM you hondaquad19 in a little while concerning your shifting......gotta get back to work.

The difference is Sniper sells you a complete tuning package. Heck we use to, but chose to go a different route with our buinsess. We wanted to be specialized in one aspect to the aftermarket industry. That was and still is our main focus. Many years later after finding a source to work with us on devloping our own products,we met a software designer we can work with on devolping our own tuning software. It will be totally different from the PCMX platform. We offer Jody's tuning on our hardware, as with Sniper you buy there chips and use their software that allows you to make changes to base files.

I can answer that with 4 letters.
NOPE.
Sniper software works on encrypted hex values. That means that you can't take the standard hex code and run it in the Sniper-brand program or put it on a TS/Sniper chip.
