Just do a search for SCT Edit or just plain EDIT To answer one of your questions. The tuning tools basically do the same thing if you use a piggyback tuning deviceMost tuners on this site have allegents to one particular tool.SCT EDIT is the new tuning tool that most people are considering when starting their mods. Quite a few have already swung over to th new tool.hope this helps a little bit macka

28/02/05 12:08 PM28/02/05 12:08 PM #8 ARE 2 DIFFERENT FLASH EDIT PRODUCTS TUNED BY THE SAME TUNER ABLE TO TUNE THE CAR BETTER THAN THE OTHER.There is only one Edit on the market at the moment, so we will need to wait for APS to release their Edit.ARE THE FORD EDITS BETTER THAN AN INTERUPTOR SET UP.They each have their own advantages. The Piggyback will allow for realtime tuning, but will bend the ECU signal. The Edit is a store and forward type tuning, but can change a lot more parameters in the factory ECU, it will also change the parameters that the ECU uses, so it does not bend the signal.CAN THE DEALERSHIP DETECT THE FORD EDITApparently Ford DO KNOW the car has been flashed/Edited. Do not kid yourselves thinking that you can put the stock map back in the car and try to claim the car is stock if there are any warranty "issues" that could have been caused by a increase in power.The Edit is still a new product and everyone is still learning what it can do. Not many people have custom tunes, but I can assure you it is the way of the future, because the ECU in the BA range is like a dual Xenon server......It has heaps of grunt that has not been exploited yet
28/02/05 12:25 PM28/02/05 12:25 PM #9 Author thanks for the genuine replies.being a tuner these questions were put forward to open genuine debate without conflict , ther fore the naive questions that have been answered well.it seems any question posted on the fordedit is soon shot down in flames.keep genuine debate open without the smartasses.regardsdave
28/02/05 12:41 PM28/02/05 12:41 PM #10 Hmmm.....we have a new person with just 5 posts asking rather interesting questions considering the recent edit vs piggyback wars....and then commenting on how great it was that they were answered without being flamed.I may be wrong, but over the years I have developed a good sense of smell. And I sense a TROLL.Get out the FLAMETHROWERS!
