    Sniper Tuning Forums

    Being a certified SCT tuner, I can honestly tell you that the word is Sniper uses an old version of the SCT software. Back when I was tuning Mustangs, Sniper didn't have transmission value files for many applications. We actually considered being a dealer for them until we investigated it...
