looking for feedback on sct tuner i have a 88 coupe,331,afr185s,tko500,trick flow-r,4.30s,80mm mass air w/30lbs inj. car weighs 2750 without driver sct says they can tune chip inhouse with my specs over the phone, i like the idea of having 4 tunes available because car has NOS but have not used it yet, 4.30s to deep a gear already in the rev limiter at the traps this is my main concern for chip i would like to shift at 6500-6700 it has probe shaft mount rockers with good valve springs good to 8000 but wont rev over 6700 on the dyno car made power all the way 6200. at sea level car made 420 at the wheels with stock rev limiter i feel im sacrificing hp.thanks any feedback would be appreciated. here are some pics and my last run oh yeah this is the cars fastest run to date fighting traction issues (hear is video)

car looks awesome man, i like the color alot.

as for the tuner, i myself havent used SCT tuning stuff, but i have always heard its a good setup.

its cool they can set it up for you over the phone and i bet it would get fairly close.
but every car is just a little different and the only sure-fire way to get the tune "dialed in perfect" is to actually tune to the specific car, with a way to datalog and a WBo2 it makes the whole process fairly simple and straight fowards. and quick and efficient way is to get the car on a dyno.

if it were me i would try to find a good pro-tuner that has a dyno, AFAIK alot of tuners use SCT and they can probably hook you up with the SCT setup and the flip chip and even tune the car for you.

and i would be leary turning the engine that high, i doubt you would have a problem, your making quite a bit of power, definatly getting close to what some consider the limits of a stock block, turning higher rpms only makes the situation worse. i doubt you would have a problem but just something to think about.

The only thing I would use an over the phone tune for... was getting the car to the shop for a real tune, especially when boost/nitrous are involved.

If you want to tune yourself, there are options for you...
The TwEECer -- EEC-IV user programmable module
Welcome to www.moates.net! : Moates.Net
Google "Anderson Ford PMS"

Those 3 are the most common with the Fox cars...

Hello from the 94-95 side of the tracks

I don't understand

I thought the almighty A9L needed ... NO Tune

Honestly ... I know nothing about tuning a Fox
but
I just had to tell you ..........

I love how your Fox Notch looks in the pic

I've always had a soft spot for Nasty Lookin Coupes

Good Luck with your quest to tune that Bad Boy

I have a SCT chip in mine, it was done at a dyno shop though. No complaints, I have never heard any bad info on SCT products. Sweet car

I would look for a shop to do it professionally, otherwise you still will not be achieving full power. They can get something close and on the really really safe side over the phone, but doing it professionally you will be able to see exaclty what everything on the car is doing and how it is responding and they can adjust everything accordinlgy. I don't know what price range you are in but our tuner does the dyno tuning and sct chip for $600. Thats not bad considering the SCT-4 chip alone is what $300?

My mail order tune cost me over 20hp compared to no tune at all. Very similar combo to yours. I hooked a tweecer up and found that for some reason my ICT's were reading double and thus pulling all my timing. There's no way for a mail order tune to accomodate something like that
