    I appreciate that, thank you.

    Hi, Sean! Have you any experience or are you aware of anyone with the high rpm billet pulse ring from Modular Motorsports? Is the Ford CJ unit still the pulse ring to use? This is the last piece I need but so far haven't been able to pull the trigger (no pun intended).

    I understand what you are saying, 302HP. I like the engine braking though wish it was just a little more subtle. I would prefer not to eliminate it completely. My ideal tune would have the best of silver and red keys and a little extra, and everything as smooth as a Barry White disco croon. Too...

    Very relevant, Mad Hatter. In California it looks like shorties may be our only smog legal option with BBK and JBA having EO numbers. If these would put a little more meat into a tune it may be worth the cost of adding them. From what I understand the install is pretty intense. I did get my...

    302 Hi Pro I will be using my SCT-X4 for my Boss only. To clarify, it will safely store my Silver key and Red TracKey tune should I need to restore at smog check time? I am intrigued by what AED may be able to do with a single custom dyno tune that would give me possibly the the best of stock...

    Does everyone retain their stock tunes on the SCT-X4, and is it a hassle every two years for California Boss owners to return to stock for smog checks?

    In talking to VoodooBOSS, he pointed out that AED is only a couple hours from my house, and after going to their site I see that they use the SCT tuners for their dyno tunes. That puts a whole new wrinkle on things and now we are back to the CJ pulse ring install when the clutch goes in, the...

    Would any tune I put on the car still allow TracKey, or does it replace it? Since it is no longer supported at the dealership level, that might make me a little nervous if it did.

    Is most of the time involved in getting the car warmed up? Do you hook up cold and go to the relearn in " Special Functions" to start the process and at some point the car is started and allowed to warm up before the blip? If so, that sounds very easy.

    Thank you, Mad Hatter! That is exactly the answer I needed. I probably would not want to change the stock tunes on my car but just needed it to give to my mechanic so he can do the relearn for me after the install. It's a drive to the nearest Ford dealership from my house and they have a spotty...

    Can I take the SCT-4 out of the box and plug it into the car and use it or do I have to fiddle around on a PC to get the thing set up first?

    How difficult to learn and use is the SCT-4, especially for the crank relearn procedure? Even if I don't use any of the preloaded tunes, are there enough other valuable functions to make it worth the $399. price? I noticed the downloads require Windows Vista OS and I am an Apple guy. I do like...

    What are the odds that the misfire monitor/crankshaft sensor/neutral profile reset will be necessary if sensor pulse ring is left or taken apart and the CJ pulse ring installed? Is this reset a given no matter what? If the wrench icon isn't lit, no codes detected and the A/F ratio is not fixed...

    ArizonaBoss, if I add the upgraded pulse ring are there any implications or potential adverse effects for me if I leave the engine as is (I do have TracKey activated) and never do any engine mods? Does this just give me the option later with no downside? I have to admit the thought of an 8000...

    I have seen the pulse ring referred to but had no idea really what it was or what it did. Thanks for the part number, Viper1mx. I will definitely check it out. I'm going to have my mechanic do the heavy lifting on changing out the clutch due to healing blown disc in my back, so it would be the...
