So next year I want to get an sct tuner. The car came with Flowmaster exhaust and I plan on a CAI and changing to 3.31 gears. From what I have read here I have to have a pc to flash the ECM? I am a mac guy. From description it says you need a wifi connection and can grab your custom tune from the cloud? Was thinking of doing a 93 tune and 87 with those items. Also do all of them change the pedal response and tranny shift points? And do any come with custom tunes like that or do you have to buy them extra?
Thanks

Thanks as always KC, yes thanks for tweaking the header, make more sense. Yes I have the 2.73 , after reading a lot of comments I don't want the 3.73 but think the 3.31 will give me the extra extra punch I want with a tune and some upgrades.

You can also purchase custom E-mail tuning files from the vendors that KC (Kevin) mentioned above... You just simply order/purchase the tunes from the vendor who will then send them to you via E-mail... You will also receive step by step instructions for downloading the tuning files into your SCT X4 hand-held programming device or from HP tuners... Once you upload the tuning files into your hand-held tuning device, you simply follow the instructions in the onscreen menu for uploading the tuning files from the device into your vehicle's ECM..
If, however you do not own a hand-held tuning device? you can also purchase both the programming device along with custom preloaded tunes that are also included... You just simply load the tunes into your ECM via the hand-tuning device and you're done...
Therefore, you have 2 different options to choose from which are both very convenient, easy to use and do not require datalogging capabilities... In the meantime, hope you find the info provided as helpful!

Mgb,

What can I say, somebody has to take the blame, I mean credit
Thanks KC yeah I think the 3.31 will work for me. Just for the fun of it last night on the way home from taco tuesday my one little stretch of 2 lane road had no cars or popo so i tried the track app for first time and it confirmed my feeling the car was slow at 6.8 for 0-60. And just for fun I had put 93 in on monday just to see if there was any diffference. The car came with the magnaflow exhaust but wasn't sure if it had a tune so to me it doesn't with this time.
