I have and SFG2 return style and I was ready to buy from Wayne at Hypillauto a while back but that sort of fell through. Now I'm looking at another company and I want to make sure I'll have no issues when the first code is programmed into it.




Personally, I am looking to buy the SCT PRP with the Raptor datalogger. I've heard from other CEGers that Modular Depot is not a good company to buy from.

If you have a SCT PRP could you post a review? What are some other sources other than Modular Depot with good support? Also, is the "base" tune on the SCT PRP a preformance tune, or is it the same as stock?

BTW, I have a return style system with the DJK4 PCM code.

Thanks,

I'll get some screen shots of the Advantage software and can get any info needed when I grab my laptop out of my SVT. I have a return style fuel system and an RJL1 code. I haven't used any other tuning software, so I can't say how much better/worse it is compared to others. Though, from what I've read it is very good and many, many tuners in Mustang and other popular Ford platforms are switching over to it.

From what I can tell, you can change every aspect of your program. Also, with the 4 bank chip you can switch between the 4 programs on the fly. You get a base tune which is a safe tune and needs fine tuning. A flasher version is available for the same price, and it will flash your PCM through the OBDII port IIRC, but you're limited to one tune.

Modular Depot does bite monkey sack when it comes to their Customer Service, but their forum is full of good info. It also has all the value files (MAF transfer functions, injector value files, ect) , software updates, ect on there too. For zetec tuners, there are lots of Focus guys on there so it would be of even more use to you guys. Since I have a duratec V6, it was only good for the general database and other things I listed above.
* I am getting all of the value files I can get my mits on, and will have them if anyone DOESN'T go through MD for their PRP.*

When teamed with a wide band O2 (SCT uses the Innovate LM1 in all their examples, and they show how to use it with the Raptor real time datalogger which was a huge bonus for me since that's what I have ) , you really do not need a dyno to tune your car. A few SCT tuners said that they can get me tuned for my "uncommon setup" over the phone, while @ idle in my driveway with said gear. It's the same software as the SCT tuners use, it's just limited to the PCM code of your car rather than all of the PCM codes from Ford It is not VIN limited, so if you had another vehicle with the same PCM code (with a compatible SCT chip) you can tune for it aswell, I do know this for a fact

SCT also has a training manual for newb's like myself to tuning. It is very, very good and explains everything very well. Even though it was $75, it was worth every penny to me.

I'd be happy to try to answer any questions about the SCT PRP or Raptor. If I don't know, I can find out..... so ask away.
