sct reads all the pids that the engine/truck sees, eingine oil temp, coolant temp, transmission gear.. etc... they are primarly setup best on a ford but are growing in popularity in chevy and dodge |
I get the part about custom tunes, but what about when I'm cruising down the highway in mileage mode and decide I need some more umph to make a pass, is this an option with the SCT, or am I "stuck" in mileage mode?
The other point is that I'd rather not have to blow a bunch of cash for the gauges I'd loose too. |

You just leave the SCT in the highest tune you have, as they usually have the best MPG anyways.

My Edge Juice Platinum has transmission settings. The current one I'm using ups firmness in response to power. While I don't get the second gear chirps like the C-4 in my old Mustang (weighing in at 2860 with 26" tires), I do get firm, positive shifts when I have my foot in the middle of it at any Level.
The old Edge's were notorious for killing transmissions because they made decent power. The new Edge's dont make the power so the tranny's last longer. The SCT still wins hands down. ---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Id recommend an SCT from Elite with High Power, Tow Power and Economy. I would do the Aggressive Tow-Haul, EGR Cancel, and Locked Converter. Once you do Studs then we can get ya the Insanity Tune :rocking:

Ok, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here :argh:
YES or NO: Does the SCT provide a gauge cluster like the Edge? $255 for a 2 gauge a-pillar set-up (Summit Racing). On TOP OF the SCT unit AND extra tunes is a little spendy for a more or less stock set up like mine. |

All of these other screen ones read off of the factory computer anyways, so they're just doubling whatever gauges you already have for the most part. |
