Torrie, thought I'd provide a little feedback.  Loaded the 91 octane tune yesterday and, with a quick interstate run, the butt dyno said we had made quite a difference.  Today I found out that there is an AWD dyno in a nearby town.  The tuning shop has a Dynocom DC-15,000X AWD chassis dyno; 3 pulls for $75. With a tank of 91 octane (no ethanol), I drove up there.  They do runs in 4th starting at 2 grand.  1st run had best wheel HP of 360.7 @ 4450 RPM.  Trying to accelerate faster on the next run resulted in a downshift to 3rd and aborted run.  Next attempt produced best torque of 471.9 at 3200 RPM with run ending in an upshift to 5th about 5000 RPM.  Last run again ended in an upshift to 5th about 5000 RPM with max HP of 354.3 @ 4250 RPM and 453.2 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM.  How do these compare to your sea level numbers? I realize comparisons between different dyno's aren't exact. They had an F-150 Ecoboost run to lay over mine.  Truck also had a Cat Back, CAI, and an SCT tune.  We were under only a couple HP and about 15 ft-lbs. Curves were very similar except for drop offs about 4000 RPM; car pulls much farther.  I'm grinning big time.  Any suggestions from your end are much appreciated.  Thanks a bunch, Lucien
 
Wow!!! That is epic even if the dyno slightly inflated the numbers (Who knows) but the fact that it had the F150 dyno to reference.... EPIC; Just goes to show some people tuning are changing very little, and is essentially a 'off the shelf' tune.

Noticed it said 'No ethanol' is that a benefit?
 
Do all the Tuners work with The SHO ?  2013
I would prefer  the Livewire TS .

I have AirAid CAI and Corsa CatBack.

I AM getting PPE catless DP's from 4DR and want tuner and files to be set up after DP install is finished .

I  Will order SCT Tuner from you next week as well .

Files installed  for 91octane  no ethanol for  daily use and one for 93 octane with no ethanol in it.

I would allso like a file loaded to take advantage of Sunoco GT 260 100 octane race fuel.
For track use only  the  fuel in tank twill be emptied prior to fueling.
I do not plan on or care to use ethanol blends  of any kind .

This summer , June vacation :

Upgraded ATP turbo's and some type of fuel pump ( 4DR's  Maybe ) upgrade and the soon to be released GDI Deatschwerks  High flow Injectors.

Injectors may not be ready in time , but I'll get with you on new tune files for turbos and pump upgrade .

I will get back with on that later .

Hint .. Hint .... window banner decal strip for rear window !

No problem. All SCT Devices currently work on your controller. X3, Livewire TS, and iTSX. All in stock.

Next week for sure ...What about a tune file for the Sunoco Fuel  ?

Great numbers for only 91 octane Torrie!  Awesome tune.  I will be running that 93 tune tomorrow....;)
 
  Does the SCT iTSX Wireless Bluetooth OBD-II Interface or APP / Software have any know compatibility issues with any  Android Tablets and can this  Interface be used in conjunction to use the Android TORQUE App ?

I'm hoping to not have to get a different one to run TORQUE .

Also , how many tunes can be stored ?

I'm leaning toward this over the livewire as I'd rather have just one display mounted in My SHO instead of two .
 
Not that I am aware of. I don't believe that you can use another application to access the port across this dongle but I have not tried that. Personal preference to me I would stick the Livewire on the dash and use that over the iTSX.
 
I went ahead and bit the bullet and decided on The iTSX ....

I just ordered it and am looking forward to the AWESOME support that YOU provide to our members .
