    Exclamation Question!

    Im lookin at probably buying the SCT Livewire programmer for my 2007 GT.

    My question is where to get it from? I know at Americanmuscle.com if i buy it threw them they'll do free tunes for life (and since im not done adding stuff to my car thats great!)

    BUT! I've heard a whole bunch of good talk bout Bamachips.com, so im kinda wondering if i would upgrade my car later on is it free tunes for life threw them too?? Any ideas??

    Thanks,
    Mike

    If you're looking for some interior bling bling and spending more money than needed, then by all means get the SCT Livewire.

    Personally, I'd just get and Xcal3 and put the money saved towards your custom tune.
    Call us and we'll give ya a quote for a custom tune for your car with your mods and the flasher unit as a package price.

    Has the SCT customer service gotten better? Or is it all left to the dealers still.

    I CAN get things done with them..........with in reason naturally.


    Personally, I've never had a problem with SCT service, but I've been doing business for over 5 years now.

    If any of you guys have problems, gimme a call at the shop. I'll see if I can help.

    Sounds good to me. Are there any advantages to the Livewire or just the fact it does live monitoring when u buy the crap?? cuz honestly im just lookin to add some extra POWER too my pony and if its better ill drop the extra money. if not then ill save the money and get the other one with the programs from you guys.

    It won't add any power over an Xcal3. You can't change tunes on the fly. if you want to use any of Livewire's functions, it has to be plugged up to your OBDII port. It's basically a flasher with some bells and whistles. I'd rather see you save the money difference and apply it to your custom tune.

    The absolute one thing you never see or hear me say is to tell someone to spend needless money to meet their goals with their car......just ask Jeff about that. I never liked that when someone tried doing that to me in the past, so I won't do that to anyone else.
