Made my own, you can ride around with out the car being tuned but will have crappy power. I drove my car on the side for a few months till I got retuned. nothing bad will happen just will not have any power.

There is no reason to NOT get a tune, get the power you did the work for, also as far as Hand helds, get a Dyno tune and get an SCT Xcal 3

why dont you just get your own tuner and have it tuned. in the long run, if you are going to be doing more power mods you will be better off having your own sct xcal3. where in ohio are you, i used to live in Ravenna, and Akron Horsepower is fairly close to where i was and they have a dyno, but it depends on where your at up there. also this thread reminds me that i need to do that and maybe a short runner intake. lol.

Well, if your dad still has his shelby and he has not returned it to stock, it's locked to his car. Contrary to popular belief, you can not tune multiple cars with one handheld. Only one car at a time, then return to stock then tune another. And you can only do that 5 times. Then the tuner is junk and can't tune anything without being returned to SCT We have a special at my shop, 525 dyno tuned with an Xcal3. You are in ohio so I know you are within driving distance as we have people come as far away as tennessee and Illinois, NJ, etc. My shop has done a lot of tuning on modulars and a lot of 4V's like yours. What happens when you remove them, is the computer thinks they are staying closed and doesn't utilize the extra timing in the imrc open table. So you have like 20 degrees total timing, and the car runs like poop. Just an option for you, I like my tuning to be one set price so no surprises.switch96 said:
Yeah, I figured that out from SCT. I'd just have to set his back to stock, tune my car, and then put his custome tune back in. I think I'm too cheap to spend the $400 :grin: Especially when there's a KB on the way!

You would have to return yours to stock before you could program your dad's car again. Or maybe I missed your point.
Do not mess with the imrc's until you are doing the kb install. then do your tune!
NXCoupe is right, you can't have two custom tunes on two seperate cars at the same time.
Say Car A has custom tune. In order to put a custom tune on Car B, Car A must be returned to stock. If you want to put the custom tune back on Car A, Car B must be returned to stock. And I would get a tune right after. I had no power and my car would bog pretty bad when I gave it any gas.

I spoke to an SCT rep who explained the process to me. Basically I would revert the Shelby back to stock, then upload the custom tune to my Cobra. Then I would go back to the Shelby and re-upload his custom tune so that his stock tune would be on the device. This being the case, I wouldn't be able to take the Cobra back to stock tune, but I wouldn't want to anyways.

You misunderstood, but you will find out soon enough anyways. You will get an error, it only holds one download from a pcm at a time, and it is serial numbered to the car. You'll understand soon enough.
