As long as it's not an auto, it should be fine to use.
With that slowass computer and if it's in a fairly high HP car with an auto, Sniper is not the program to use. You need all parameters, like with SCT, to tune that combo with THAT stupid computer.

I have been seriously looking into this. Since I have a Dynojet that I can use anytime, I was thinking this may be the way to go. I have used SCT in the past, but have never owned the software, so I never had time to "play" with it. Thus, I take my computer controlled cars it to people who always have their own idea of what is right or wrong. I just think it is the next step for me or something like it.

There seems to be a very active group of enthusiasts focused on this software. They seem to really do well with it.

I think there are going to any number of people who could not make this software work for them. They just don't understand tuning and it can get very complex.

What about the 03-04 Mach 1 "Auto" computers? Are they the same way?

No.....They are MUCH better. There is still a limitation.
We have a daily driven TT GT with a 4V swap with a 4R70W and a Mach1 computer and it runs fine..........795RWHP on E85 on low boost
