Advantage 3.0 dealer tuning software and flash tuner devices such as the SCT Xcalibrator 2

is stock manners in a highly modified vehicle and we deal with all kinds of supercharged and turbo
applications. We can help you select the best flash tuner for your
OBDII
application. Check out the Information
Center for good info on SCT Datalogging,
Detonation,
EGTs, General
Engine Operation, and more. We will also walk you through the
process of flashing new tunes to your Ford using the OBDII port. We
also explain how to data log with the flash tuners and the OBDII port, as
well as what you should be logging, and how the data should look.
Datalogging is done using SCT's Livelink program which is very powerful data
logging software.
PLX Devices is our brand of
choice for wideband and data monitoring products due to their high product quality, QC
standards, and having coolest stuff on the market! Nearly every PLX
wideband gauge, PLX IMFD Programmable Gauges like the DM-100, PLX Sensor modules (AF, AIT, EGT,
Boost, ECT / OIL temp) in stock and ready to ship. The PLX Devices
widebands use the critical response technology to eliminate free air sensor
calibration (un-calibration). The wideband control module can be used
for datalogging with SCT Flash products using the 0-5V output and a gauge is
not necessary, but its always a good idea to keep an eye on your AFR. We have the best prices
on the internet and will beat any advertised price!
Background
I have a BA in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of
California at Berkeley. I work for a biotech company as a process
optimization specialist dealing with chemistry and automation issues along
with extensive data analysis. I became frustrated with the tunes I was
receiving and after multiple attempt from multiple tuners so I decided to go
into business for myself. (detonation, hesitation, and bucking problems)
I guess its the perfectionist in me desiring stock manners till I mash the
gas. I read every book related to engine operation and ECU
strategies that I could get my hands on. I've spent 100s of hours
scouring the net for tuning information and taken multiple classes on EFI
calibration over the past 2 years. I have analyzed over 500 datalogs
on my personal car using powerful statistical software to analyze very large
datalogs in excess of Excel's 69,000 row limit. I stay up to date with
the newest information on a private forum with the top tuners in the nation.
I take a scientific systematic approach to tuning an strive for perfection
on every single tune. These are far from the "canned" tunes you hear
about on the net from some of the large high volume dealers or ebay sellers.
I can make a "canned" tune in 2 minutes, while my tunes usually take about
30 minutes. I double check every single aspect of the tune as well as
make almost 50 extra changes over the "canned" tunes to improve drivability
aspects.
