Any of you supercharged guys using Sniper tuning software.

 

Sounds like a real easy, low-cost way to blow up yer motor.

What are you using as a wideband?

MGD

 

only if you don't know what your doing.

@ the OP sniper's tuning software is the best way for somebody to get into custom tuning their own car or truck BY THEMSELVES. i've seen the commando software and it's fairly straight forward stuff (they really dumbing it down, you know for guys like MGDfan ), however if you've never used actual custom tuning software then the last thing you would want is to start on a vehicle with a power adder (supercharger). SCT offers a software kit for DIY guys and you can even take classes from SCT and learn how to use it, of coarse this is much more expensive (upwards of $1500) Justin at VMP tuning sells a SCT DIY kit if your interested in something like that.

 

My truck right now is currently dyno tunned with sniper software. I'm just not happy with my results. I'm still having issues with detonation and my mechanic says it is running rich. I want a good safe reliable tune. I have already invested a lot money in getting my truck dyno tuned it would suck to start over again.

 

If you're not happy with the tune....have you contacted the tuner and given him another shot?

This is were Justin@VMP excels......if you want to go the SCT route.

 

The next day I have off from work I'm going to give the tuner another shot. I'm leaning more towerds SCT If things don't work out.

 

I haven't looked at the Sniper other than a quick review some time back and looked like "tuning lite" to me. The drop down menus turned me off.

The detonation has to go.

I have the SCT software and tune my own truck, and it is still together. My dealer wrote a base tune which he gave to me in open format so I could modify or copy and make corrections after datalogging. It has been an enjoyable pastime.

Some SCT dealers will provide an open tune with the software purchase, some will not. It is much easier to modify a base tune than to build a tune from scratch but there is good support on tuning forums and the SCT Pro Racer support forum.

By the way, as you did not confirm that you have a wideband but your mechanic said it is running rich how would he know? Let me guess....sense of smell.

 

sniper does have a full software just like the SCT software you have, it's called commando i believe, i've looked into getting it, but i don't trust myself.

@ the OP another option is Diablosport's CMR software try contacting Diablo Mike on here he work for Diablo and can give you more info on CMR.

 

OP PM Sent man stay far away from sniper

 

Onelowf, He hooked up his diagnostic computer while it was running to get a reading.

 

... i have a sniper tuner.. but not SC.... i wouldnt recommend sniper to anyone... they sold me a tuner for my truck.. said it would work... And it wont..ive sent emails..called there number...been on there forum... and everytime i talk to someone they say send in my tunes and files and they will work on it... ive been going through this for almost a year... the last time i talked to them they said they do not sell a tuner for a 4.2 in the 04-08 trucks..... And when i ordered the tuner i emailed them before i purchased to be sure it would work..sorry for the rant..

 

We should take this as a lesson learned!

 

the SCP PRP (pro racer pack) is very very easy to use

 

I am, but I'm not blown.
