5.5 gen ecu tuning

Other than TS and JWT does anyone else offer tuning for the 3.5ltr ? I know UpRev's Cipher and Osiris software only works with 6th gen and newer. I'm really just looking for something that I can turn off DTC codes with.

Turn off as in completely disable codes, or just clear them?

FWIW, Cipher works just fine with the 5.5 gen ECU, but it's only a diagnostic tool, nothing for performance.

I heard they were "working on it" a year or so ago at least but no updates since...

If you're just looking for dealing with DTCs and diagnostics, or advanced diagnostics, Cipher and Autoenginuity will be just fine.

If you're talking about "tuning" in that you want to alter AF, rev limit, etc, then TS is it. You could also consider an advanced piggyback like an Emanage Ultimate or UTEC.

6 speed Hayes is using the Cipher just fine on his 2002 for data logging, advancing base timing, etc. In fact, at Maxus a couple years ago, he advanced the timing for a bunch of people.

I talked to them on AIM recently and they're not doing manure re: A33B ECU tuning compatibility.

If all you want is to read/clear codes, AE is a batter bargain than the Cipher. The Cipher is expensive.

No. A33B & Z33 ECU quite different. If it were that easy, we'd all be at our dealerships now.
