any 96 RT/10 using an sct scanner? (the only gen 1 with obd 2)

[whitebluevipe]

i have a 96 rt/10 with the gen 1 engine and the 96 model is obd 2. i was wondering if any fellow gen 1 1/2 bretheren have tried the SCT programmer and what kind of results the have had? thanks, todd

If it is OBDII, it should not matter. You are only trying to optimize the a/f and timing, therefore, same principals apply for a Gen 1 or Gen 2. You will not be sorry if you purchase the SCT package. You can also:

1. Increase idle.
2. Bring on the high speed fan earlier - keeps the eng temp down.
3. Remap the load versus rpm fuel table - this is to optimize mods.
4. Increase rev-limiter.
5. Remove shift lock-out.

that is only a few improvement, but, basically it makes our cars run better. Do a search, Dan from Viper Specialties is a good source.

thanks for the info. i was just curious how much hp/tq people picked up with the gen 1 and if it is any more or less than a gen 2 picks up.

In general, most GenI's have a wider range of true rwhp than do the Gen 2's - that is good, more potential
