Well years of complaining to SCT and buying the right R&D vehicles came thru for me today. I had the pleasure of getting my DCX Software and hardware order hand delivered to me by Chris Johnson the VP and one of the founders of SCT. So I was finally able to use my silver 05 for its intended purpose recalibration. I am so happy now I could cry, you guy's know how long a wait its been for this. All hemis will be supported in weeks including the remainder of th SRT family. Watch out for my jeep when I get that sucker tuned. SRT10's and SRT4's i can rock out right now along with the rest of the non ETC vehicles.

Nice work.

Looks GREAT !!

I chatted with TonY G last night and he shared that you all had a good time yesterday during this tuning process and in the end were very happy with the results

Keep up the great work and your contribution to the Forum

All the best

As you know only too well; extreme tuning in the extreme heat = built in margin for error because once the cool air blows she will remain well under any area of concern and likely show you were thanks with even more "POWER"

Now having shared this I just chatted with TonY G and he said that it has been hot and MUGGY; find a cool spot, a cool drink, and relax.


You take care

You hit the nail on the head Bill ! It has been in the upper 90's with high humidity and the heat index around 109 each day. Atmospheric conditions couldn't get any worse for making power. Tomorrow I'll get to work on aspects of the calibration that I didnt get time to work with yesterday. The fact that the software and hardware have worked flawlessly speaks volumes for our counterparts at SCT. :biggrin

I spent most of the day up with Tony today, my girl needed an oil change. But its back to v10 land tomorrow. Cold drink in hand tonight - have a good one :cheers:cheers

Not at all Torrie; if anything I remained reserved with my comments

The passion that you shared in that initial video came through LOUD and clear and then when chatting with you in the past as well as today it was blatantly obviously that it was never lost and in fact if anything it has become even stronger. It to me is very cool and speaks volumes about the person.
As we discussed; sadly this industry is full of folks that collect $$ with some of them truly caring however sadly for many at the end of the day it becomes "what was in it for me" rather than reflecting on all that one did for another.

I always say that money follows work and not the other way around; meaning that if one's concern is how much they will be paid or maybe better put; what is in it for them before they provide a service then they are sadly screwed up and many folks are.

Having shared this I have no doubt that with your passion, integrity, and demonstrated concern for others that the financial results that you desire will come as the direct result of what you do for another and not simply the byproduct of what you charge

Takes care

Thank you very much again. You have no idea how much what you just said truly means to me. :cheers
