What meister is saying is that there are more parameters and variables available to the TUNER for creating the files using SCT over Diablo. He feels that since the guy who actually wrote all of Ford's factory computer programs now works with SCT that there is some intrinsic knowledge there that Diablo isn't privy to, so to say that SCT may have a slight advantage.

I'll get meister to confrim this but... I think it's also important to distinguish between to notions here... The tuning is performed by a TUNER, using their proprietary software. That program is saved and loaded into the flashing device (XCalibrator). The flashing device hooks up to the computer and installs the program. The DRIVER can switch between the different programs by a dial. So there is no actual requirement for you to know more than the next guy to operate the XCalibrator.

Now having said that, what functionality does the driver have with SCT's next release?? (Meister this is where you chime in again :P )

Most of this tuning stuff is all new to me so I'm learning as I go...
