I ordered my SCT X4 from Unleashed yesterday, selected UPS Ground and its already here!

So, now I have to go through and make sure I do everything right to get my tune installed.

I would exercise caution when you data-log especially with the cold weather.

+1,000,000. DEFINITELY data log.

I ran for 3 days on my very first 87 Torrie tune (version 1) before I took a log and posted it here. Turns out I had zero fueling at WOT and was running SUPER lean. I had the same issue on my first 87 Tow tune (version 1). Mistakes happen, so keeping a watchful eye will help mitigate most of your issues. Everyone here is was super helpful in looking over my logs.

Also, based on my brief experience working with Torrie, you will be better off keeping your inquiries/questions very short and very to-the-point. He is usually super quick to reply, but his responses are very... concise. :)

Have fun! It's addicting! I could probably save a lot of money by starting a crack habit. LOL

Yeah, he's already responded twice!  Thanks for the advice on communications.

I was going to take the steps to load the tune today but we literally got a Severe Thunderstorm warning and now its snowing, so I guess that's going to have to wait.

If you're feeling antsy, like I usually am, you could always load the tune and then revert back to stock, just to make sure everything is working. When I tried to load a tune from the X4 for the first time, I got an error on the handheld (dont remember the specific error), and I had to take it back inside and plug it into the device updater to download vehicle specific updates. I consider myself pretty computer savvy, but it still took me a just over an hour to get PC drivers loaded and everything on the device updated and sorted the first time in order to load a tune. It has been cake ever since.

It'd be worthwhile to browse the thread that ZSHO linked above. Seems like each vehicle has its own little quirks when loading custom tunes, so your experience may be slightly different than everyone else.

Seconded. I have heard of a few people with '16s having issues loading tunes due to some changes made between the MY15 and MY16
