[QUOTE="decipha, post: 16154752, member: 74327"] I never called anyone an idiot I called them ignorant its not intended as an insult. Ignorant ig·no·rant /ˈiɡnərənt/ [i]adjective[/i] lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing. When it comes to the older fords (2004 on down) the back of the eec-v/eec-iv has whats known as a J3 port that you can plug a quarterhorse in to that basically gives your ecu a USB port. You can then plug your laptop directly in to the ecu and do anything you want with it. For those less involved it basically turns your stock ecu in to an aftermarket standalone. You can do anything you want with it. You can read the tune out of the ecu. You can compare it to a stock tune if you want to see what all your tuner has changed too. You can write tunes while the engine is running. Make changes to your tune while the engine is running. You can even make changes while your at WOT if your ballsy enough to do it. The datalogging is second to none as well. And the support is as good as the person writing it wants it to be. Considering I write most of it for TunerPro and use it and update it daily its far superior than anything else offered. Not only that. I write custom code for the eec's to make them do anything I want. None of the other software choices out there are even remotely close. A few more tidbits... TunerPro is free. Vehicle support is free. No license fee's for each vehicle. Hell I've tuned close to 700 vehicles and never once paid a single vehicle license fee. No possible way to get locked out the ecu. I can go on. This isn't anything new it's been around for 10 years. And since using it from day one no one in their right mind would ever use SCT or anything else out there that uses that archaic method of flash tuning. Here is a quick run down of the steps you have to take to tune with SCT. 1> you have to either plug in and get the ecu strategy code from the ecu or find the sticker. 2> Open the tuning software and put the code in to open the stock tune 3> Make all your tune changes in the editor 4> Then write the tune to the handheld 5> Then plug the handheld in to the car 6> Then writing the tune to the car 7> Then open the datalogging software 8> Then set up the datalogging parameters 9> Then start the engine 10> Then start datalogging But then, oh no, lets say the car is idling like pooh on your startup tune and fuel trims go to -25. So now you have to repeat steps 3 on down. How does it differ with the quarterhorse? 1> Remove the ecu and clean the j3 port on the back, plug the qh in and put the ecu back in. 2> Open TunerPro and turn the key on, read the tune out then turn the key off ^^only ever done once. 3> same as step 3 above, make your tune changes in tunerpro 4> click write, wait a few seconds for the ecu to write 10> click the button to begin datalogging and start the engine Note: why no steps 5-9? cuz they don't exist with the quarterhorse But then, oh no, lets say the car is idling like pooh on your startup tune and fuel trims go to -25. Simply go to your maf transfer and reduce it 25% and click update WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND YOUR STILL DATALOGGING the engine immediately idles perfect fuel trims go to 0 and you can drive off and continue tuning no problem.
