What do you recommend if its deeper than bolt-on's?

Depends what it is, there comes a point where value files are no longer useful and you have to start from scratch, at that point it doesn't matter if its HP tuners, SCT, Diablo, Sniper ect. I'll always recommend SCT if its blowers, Maf's injectors, and the normal stuff. because the value files almost make it plug and play.

I'm considering a cam change and dont want to buy something that will limit tuning in the event that tuning will go deeper than shifting value files. I'm using the SCT X3 handheld now but want to make sure that my step up is worth the money spent.

The only limit with SCT, HP, or the rest is the stock PCM. But to answer your question, yes that can be done with any of them. But since you already have the xcal I would stay with SCT..... and as far as a cam change is concerned, Increase the idle speed, adjust the IAC in the tune for the loss of vacuum, re-scale the maf and drive............. The rest is just fine tuning for power.

NP, BTW if you want to look at advantage III, I'm in the creek. I tune these lightnings with just about anything you can think of and all of them are different, Ive done from bolt ons to fully built motors with aggressive cams and big injectors, Ive done them with full fuel systems for e85 to pump 93, and c16, from 12 psi to 25psi..... All with SCT, I typically don't use the value files, but for a Novice, they are nice, that is why I mentioned it.

Randy. One specfic question about the Advantage III software. Can you adjust dashpot settings with it?
