Yes I do and thanks. I'm guessing they didn't do that but I'll check. I'll make sure to do that on any future runs. No roads for me here in Houston to try that lol.

I don't actually own the sct, but going by other tuner's I've had, if they did do any logging with your device, you should be able to plug it into your computer and see the log files - I imagine sct has some supporting desktop software you can use?

There's no cord to hook it up to a computer in the box. I have an HDMI to hook car to computer, is that the way to do it? I downloaded the gen2 livelink but it won't install, is it only for Windows?

Here's what it said on data logs when I had it hooked to the car.

with the e85 in our 2015 for example. If the coolant temp is below 195 degrees on the pull, car will get about 13-15 degrees of timing and make 40-60 less rwhp than if we pull It at 195 degrees and gets 19 degrees of timing we are wanting..
Are you running E85 on a blower or NA? I'd like to see your setup and numbers if it's NA...thinking of going that route because of the shitty 91 we get here in CA.

You don't need to be in 1:1 to log, just make sure you don't get any wheelspin. Have a friend go with you to man the computer so you can concentrate on driving. 2nd or 3rd gear should be fine, roll into the throttle around 2,000rpm.

3rd or 4th would be better. You'll get better data.

e85, e85 has an effective octane of about 100, in addition has very good cylinder cooling properties

our 2011 car ran 8.7's in full street trim with grocery store e85, and at less than $2 gallong :)

When you do the passes on the street to log, must they be in 5th gear as well? I can easily do a 1st gear pull and see what the car logs, given thats enough? If its 5th gear for 1:1 then I will need LOTS of space.
3rd or 4th would be better. You'll get better data.
in an auto car, 4th is ideal, in a manual, 5th is ideal,

that is where your going to have more load, but, sometimes on the street that is tough, and you can get a pretty good log one gear down

typically windows, feel free to give me a shout , and I can help walk you through the process, but you will need windows, or a mac program that allows you to run windows programs

Got the custom tune done and here are the results so far. I will note that I did not request any improvements files from Lund as I was going to get a custom tune either way.

Quick comparison:


One of the final runs:

Yes, that is the way.

A decent video for understanding datalogging:

Was just about to bust out my windows laptop, thanks! I'll see what they actually put in it, if anything.

Seems like the custom tune found u some power and a Ton of torque... I bet it feels a bit different.. I wonder if u would have data logged it and sent back to Lund if he would have found some of that for u? Congrats
