SCT Performance Programmers, Tuners, Chips, Monitors, Modules and Calibration Products
SCT was founded in 2003, born of the passion & expertise of a team that cut their teeth in performance shops, racing, vehicle calibration, performance parts manufacturing, and aftermarket tuning. From then on, SCT has devoted itself to the idea that engine tuning and calibration is a critical part of customization, and that enthusiasts should have the power to unlock the performance potential of their vehicles. As a result of its recent merger under Derive Systems, SCT, Bully Dog, Bully Dog Big Rig, and Derive Efficiency brands have integrated into a world-class operation and a dominant force in the automotive technology space. SCT's Business Development and Sales teams believe that customized performance is a key part of drivers optimizing their rides.

Do aftermarket high performance air filters add horsepower and torque compared to stock?
Yes, aftermarket performance air filters can increase your horsepower and torque. If you are upgrading from a brand-new OEM factory filter, you may notice a slight difference, but the true results are typically discovered on the dyno or the racetrack. At the same time, your engine will enjoy increased fuel efficiency, but only if you can keep your throttle foot away from the floor board.
