I noticed there is a pdts file for the z51 on the website. Which one do we use or the z06?

. Lol. Can't wait for the tractive file. I knew what I'd done before I got out of the garage.

It seems this question was never answered, at least in this thread, but I'd still like to know what it is. On the DSC site the firmware file listed for my GT350 says "11-27-17 V3 update!", just like it does for Camaro and Corvette. When I install it and check the version it says "Ver GT350 2.1 11-13-17 enc 3mode". Also when I click the Help button all it has is "About DSC Tuner". There is no actual Help info like what is shown in the V3 info. Sorry to post Mustang questions here but the DSC controller is pretty much unknown in Ford circles.

Tuning Software 1.8.3 (just downloaded the .exe file.)
(Please excuse my lack of computer knowledge…basically I’m a computer goober head.)
I have the 1.7.1, 17 Jan 2018 version tuning software and am running the 12-18-17 C7-Z06 V3.pdts calibration file, and I am very satisfied with the way it rides and corners…..did the 4 wheel alignment too (and yes the rear caster the correct way).
Questions –
1. What advantage would the 1.8.3 version tuning software give me?
2. Exactly how would I get the 1.8.3 software and 12-18-17 C7-Z06 V3 cal file into my V3 Controller…..I forgot?
