yeah um NO!

From LSXTV.COM review.

"SCT GM Pro Racer Software

SCT’s New GM Pro Racer software allows a GM Performance Enthusiast to manipulate all of the tuning controls and variables that a SCT custom tuner can. At the track, on the dyno, or on the street, a GM LS enthusiast can use this Pro Racer software to unlock the vehicle’s PCM and allows you to custom tune all of the parameters on your single PCM. Keep in mind, this software is designated and designed to be used for your vehicle, and it will not work to tune multiple other vehicles with your single license."

Keep in mind that this review is 5 years old and SCT has done many updates since then to remain competitive.

Trust me I'm on top of tuning software updates ect.... SCT is nothing like HPTuners and EFILive. It works and gets the job done but as I mentioned you get more with the others.

I had very good experience with SCT. As long as you're positive that this model will accept custom tunes, go for it. Some do not.

The product is called 2010 Camaro Magnacharger SCT Handheld. I just wanna get a custom mail order tune and load it on my 2011 LS3.
The SCT tuner you posted has 2 sides to it, a Preloaded side that is used to load the Magnacharger tune.

The custom side which works exactly like a 3400 Custom tuning device, upload stock, stores stock tune on device, holds up to 3 custom tunes, reads and clears codes, and with SCT Livelink is a very powerful data logger.

It has all the features you need to get your car tuned perfectly.

For 50.00 you better jump on it, that is a 399.00 tuner.

I can help you with a custom tune as well, I a currently over 3000 Gen5 camaro tunes.

Ted.
