SCT and the Gen 5

[Jack B]

I talked to a very good source today and SCT is releasing their new CC tuning platform within the next 90 days. Their plans were to add the Gen 5 PCM to their package and then do the Gen 4, however, they could not find a Gen 5 to use as a mule, so they developed the Gen 4 tuning software first. That means the Gen 4 package should be out with the new SCT platform along with the tuning capability for several other newer CC cars. The Gen 5 is supposed to follow fairly quick. If I were to rate the accuracy of this info, I would give it a 90%+ chance of happening. The new hardware is already finished.

Here is the chance for all those on the fence about the Gen 5 because of the locked PCM to stand up to the plate with their cash, otherwise we will know they are blowhards who never would have purchased a Gen 5.

Great news for my Gen IV. Long overdue.

when the gen5 comes with 700 or 750Hp OEM stock and as a result the gen5 is again blowing the doors off every other car...... then no one will blowhard but will instead be blowing OFF

I know who's car they were going to be using for Gen 4 development, but as far as i knew they had not even started on the VENOM controller yet.

This is what I was thinking.

LOL yes I will be watching. Good post Jack. A lot of people were bitching about the price of the car too. Now they can be had for about $12K off. No more excuses. Price is lower and unlocked PCM coming soon. Go get your Vipers boys! You won't be sorry

Perfect time for everyone in the south to get the kinks worked out, then all us up north can get in on the fun in the spring.

Hey Jack,

I also recently spoke to SCT about the new releases, and I think whoever you spoke to may have jumped the gun on this one. The new devices are of course a reality, and are needed to support some of the newer dodge products- no surprise there and is of course true. However, the hardware being completed and software being written are two very different things. The Viper application is still too small to make a good business case, especially as an early launch. SCT did confirm that a couple Vipers have been in and out of R&D, but that would have likely been for scanning and download purposes- engineering the new UI is far more involved, and there would need to be a solid customer base to justify it, as well as extensive in-house testing. Remember that the Viper application is a good bit different than any other application they are running, and some of the software is proprietary and owned by other companies- this means that it would require even more reverse engineering than other applications as parts of the code will not cross reference into anything recognizable.

In short, I wouldn't count on the Viper applications to be leading the way on this new hardware. If it happens, it would likely be bringing up the rear.

Any updates?

Does the Gen V have more potential for handheld tuners than the Gen IV? A few companies have had success unlocking new SRT8 ECU's...

[donk_316]

Hold on. Thought the twin turbo guy was saying the stock gen5 injectors max out around 675? The tuner would be good for power under the curve though

Someone needs to buy that 5 year old in San Diego (who cracked the XBOX Security Accounts last week) a cookie. He could get it done. Has anyone ever thought that just maybe the code may be a lot simpler to crack and everyone is just assuming it is just too complex. Password code could be "VM-01" or "Corey Vettesuc" for all we know!

Stock injectors max out at 675? I know the OEM fuel pump cannot supply enough fuel reliably past 675 RWHP....
