Will both of these devices download stock supercharger tunes. So the tunes that come with the complete kits. Particulalry interested in roush and paxton. I already know all about the whipple stuff and what that tuner can do. Just want to know about ngauge and sct.

Thanks!

Either will hold a custom tune.

Not quite sure I understand the question. But you CAN have a tuner like SCT and NGuage for your boosted vehicle.
I'm running the SCT X4 for my KB setup

Unless the manufacturer chooses one of those devices to specifically hold their tune I don't think they will hold the manufactures specific tune. As far as custom tunes either will do.

Each boost system manufacturer will designate the tuning device they use. Otherwise it's a bring your own tuner game.

All good responses. Most supercharger kits come with either the house tune version or you can opt for a (tuner kit) version where you can buy your own tuning devise like the SCT or NGauge and hire a tuner to make a custom calibration for it.

I would further state that once it has been married to a vehicle and a calibration has been loaded it will at the same time save the last calibration it writes over no matter if it's the stock cal or a custom tune. Not for multiple vehicle use or if bought used it will be limited to data logging or gauge display on other vehicle.

The highlighted text above is what I am looking for answers on. I've heard these devices cannot download/save "house tunes (e.g., not aftermarket tune from a tuner kit)". What that would mean is if you have a "house tune" with the complete kit you cannot get an aftermarket tune ever.

You can either download them on a computer and transfer them to the unit you choose or have the tune loaded on the device before they ship it with the kit.

You need a computer to transfer files. The unit cant do it.
