The SCT tune Numbers - see below

Hey Guys, I know this has been the subject of discussion many times but
which is likely to give me the better numbers on my 2001 S/C. I have on short the Saleen Series IV w/ intercooler, cold air induction, JBA headers. I'm thinking that maybe only able to obtain 20-30 more horses. SO is it worth it? Am looking at the Diablo Tune then Dyno next week. Will post the numbers when completed
Thanks for the Help!

you have to clear the computer to use a diablo to tune, where as the SCT can tune over it. I've never heard of a diablo being able to tune over the saleen stuff, and I know for a fact that SCT xcal2's can.

What Tim said.

Talk to 03s281sc about Diablo. He made some impressive numbers, but it was with a Series IV. I'm running the Xcal2. I have the Saleen PowerFlash tune saved in the device and my dyno shop did a custom dyno tune.

I didn't think sct would tune over the top of another, i was under the impression that it just removed the previous program, and installed a new one.
But i do know, that sniper will tune over a previous tune without you having to buy a tuner.

what matters is who is doing the customer tune, not the device

The pic of the dyno graph is so small, I can see where you made a considerable difference in hp, or torque. Probably the h.p. #'s, but with nothing more than what you have, I'd say from all other dyno's I've seen for any 99-02 S/C Saleen, you should be tickled pretty good. They normally are as low as 315-325rwhp, and once in a while you'll get a fluke that will dyno 335 or so, but that's pretty good and I see you went with the best tuning software there is out there-SCT. Can't beat it, it adjusts itself according to your IAT #'s and Diablo sucks, matter of fact, I have a brand new one here at the house if there is anyone that would like to buy it and likes Diablo.

Everybody has their choices and opinions.
Good choice and good #'s bro.

peace,
Chrissaleen

Not a problem! The TT would be flat out nasty, that's what i've been contemplating for the last year. I would love to have a TT set-up for the '97 Saleen, but those two cars(saleens) are going to stay about where they are now, well the red one i'm actually doing a few more things, just for the heck of it, and see what it puts down once I can get some good IAT #'s.

I've got the snow performance meth. kit, 3.3, 3.1, and the 2.8 pulley
for her and also adding a paxton intercooler for her. Oh yeah, I also am adding the vortech mondo race/bypass blow off valve .

For the TT setup, that's what the 90 lx coupe is waiting on, along with alot of cha-ching for full tube chassis, tubbing it out, roll cage, and a nice little 383 or 410x motor in it. We'll see, I might be daydreaming.
Peace,
Chris

the saleen tuned computer has too many issues to run with diablo, you have to have it reflashed to the way it was as a gt or find a donor computer out of a gt with the same tranny and code as yours. I suggest option 2 because you will still have your saleen flashed computer incase you ever want to go back to stock and you can pick up a used ecu for around 150
