What is the best chip for our SC? Q.H. F8, or Sct. Seeing what some people have and if they like them. All imput is appreciated! !!
There are only maybe 3 shops in the entire country that can properly tune an SC. Keep that in mind.
Get the tune dialed in using the QH and then get a Jaybird to convert the file over so it can be stored on a chip and using the tune from the QH now installed on the chip, run it with the chip.
i think dave answered this question for me last time, the fact that the older style quarter horse had the battery soldered to the board. if the battery died you had to send it back in to have them replace it or something, now you can just pull the battery and replace yourself so leaving it in place as opposed to placing a chip in its place is a better option now.
Contrary to the popular belief on this site(flame on) the QH is not made to be in a car that is driven daily, but rather put in there to dial in the tune and then replaced with that tune to be on a chip. Why keep it after the tune is setup? The battery goes dead and you are stuck. Get the tune dialed in and burn it to the chip. Have an issue that pops up that cant be figured out? Put the QH in and start data logging and fix the issue and put the chip back in. If $75 for a Jaybird breaks the bank then the SC is not the car for that individual.
The battery not going dead isn't an issue? Ask anyone of the guys it has happened too how wonderful it is. Remember when the battery dies whether you have another on hand or not the tune must be reapplied to the QH. I don't carry my laptop with me everywhere I go with the car. The QH is in the glovebox next to the ECU incase needed, but it doesn't stay plugged in. The car sits almost 9 months out of the year, so better safe then sorry.
This is all a "suggestion" such as was asked by the OP. Everyone will operate as they wish and that's great!!
I was just saying I asked Dave recently when I purchased the qh if I should get a chip as well, he said it was simpler now that the battery can be replaced by the end user, so he didn't recommend that I would need a chip, plus I can data log anytime without having to pull the eec, remove and replace and reinstall.
