SCT TUNER? DIABLO TUNER?
Who's happy with them etc.

thanks!

I have the SCT, got it from RCD, but lots of suppliers. I have the diablo on my 2017 Silverado, but only used it when I setup the 4.10 gears to correct the speedo. Both seem to work fine. On the SCT some suppliers will give free lifetime tune updates, but then even some of them offering this will only tune for a limited level of modifications, gears, CAI, exhaust and the like. Only a couple will tune for things beyond bolt ons, such as cams, forced induction and the like. Also data logging seems to be at the discretion of the supplier, not the customer, so research your supplier and ask direct questions before purchase.

The DiabloSport Trinity2 has some nice features if you're looking for something to data log with. The tunes are okay but if you plan on doing any serious mods a custom tune is what you want. That being said if you're interested we can get you a good deal on one.

I used my sctx4 tuner once and I’m really thinking about putting it up for sale. I got it from dyno Steve if you have interest in getting a unit. Make a offer mine has the lifetime tuning service

Barret · 10-12-2019, 03:58 PM

also wondering :-)

It's been 3 1/2 years and I'm still quite pleased with my DiabloSport inTune tuner.

If you ever need to return to stock how will you do it? Also, the lifetime service is also tied to the owner and VIN, not just the device. You car would need to be returned to stock with that handheld otherwise it would be useless to anyone else.

Yeah i don't think the lifetime tuning is transferable lol

StingrayblueSS · 10-13-2019, 09:21 PM

If you purchase a sct from Dynosteve you will receive free tune updates no matter who you purchase your parts from. Other email tuners will only give you a free update if you purchase the parts from them. At a significant up charge.

superchris · 10-14-2019, 08:37 AM

oh so its not transferable? damn...

JANNETTYRACING · 10-15-2019, 10:36 AM

Jannetty Racing offers the best SCT X4 custom remote tuning program available anywhere.

We don't give away tunes for life or tune for free for parts purchased elsewhere.

Our custom tuning has value, and takes actual work and years of experience to make right.

I fix Free for life tunes all the time so don't get caught in that trap.

I Do have the Buy parts from me Get tunes for those parts Free program.

Once you have either purchased a SCT X4 tuner from me, and or your first custom tune from me you qualify.

Because you support me I will support you.

I am not going to buy your friendship or loyalty with hand outs, I am going to earn it by providing the best custom tuning anywhere.

Ted.

...Yeah sure, then you buy parts and say WHAT? when you are upcharged $120 for each part to adjust the tune. "Oh those parts are not 'part of the program' to get the free tune". There's more but I'll leave it at that.
