JOE I'm no expert, however I can tell you that I have watched many a debate about this software vs SCT. The ONLY think I like about the sniper software is the fact that it isn't automaticly locked to one vehicle. I forget how many you can tune with it but I know its more than one. You can also buy more "bullets" to add the ability to tune other cars. The guy I had tune my roots blown v6 mustang told me to my face that he'd never use the sniper software when I asked him about it. And the look on his face when he said it was one of disgust.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm bringing it back up since I'm picking up this kit in a couple of weeks for the Lightning. I have heard nothing but praise about this tuning setup on LR. I only know what I've read about SCT's XCals, but the Sniper system seems to be well ahead of them, as you can do more fine tuning with them as well as datalogging. You can fine tune your AFR across the entire RPM range, as well as custom tailor it to your mods. The REALLY cool thing about it, is that after you upload the tune or "Bullet" to the vehicle, you can download it back to the box, and tweak the tune as you add more mods, VS having to pay for an e-mail or dyno tune to cover new mods.

I don't know who that was Doc, but maybe he had preferences for another brand of tuner. It comes with two "Bullets", and as you said, it's not VIN locked to one vehicle like a Diablo or SCT is. You can tune as many vehicles as you have bullets, and as I said, you only really need one bullet per vehicle unless you want to do a winter tune and summer tune, or a street tune and race tune. From what I've read on LR, their customer service is top notch. They have offered several guys invites to their facility in Florida for a free tour, and session on their in house dyno to test and further fine tune their trucks. All for free. Here's a good thread about it on LR.

While not wanting to backpedal in any way shape or form Eric, You do realize my comments are 3 years old based on a conversation I had with a tuner a couple years before that. Having never used sniper software I cant yea/nay say it at all currently. However I can say I've not been too impressed with sct customer service lately.

Understood, and I hope you didn't take that the wrong way. I've heard the same thing about SCT and Diablo's CS.
