First off what is a dual stage rev limiter? Second off, I thought the tuner could only hold one tune, so how would you get two tunes with it? Also is there 17rwhp and 20ft.lbs claim, with a mail ordered tune, or dyno tune? Is this claim proven?

That is all.

 

See above..............................

 

HP and TQ claims are the best when used with PREMIUM (93+) OCTANE fuel.

 

Thanks for the info Blake.
That's the only octane I use anyway, so I guess I'm good to go. Expect a order from me sometime next week.

 

here ya go.. the blue is the stock tune vs the red which is a tune with an xcal 2 on the dyno

the tune added 13 rwhp and 22 rwtq (notice the gains around 3500 rpms though is MUCH higher)

 

So if I get the SCT cal 2 then I have to get an extra tune to save the stock tune?
Also when you have to give information to the place you order it from they ask for a computer code....what exactly is that?
One more thing. Would it be a good idea to have a tune with catted pipe and 87 octane and one also with non catted 93 octane for the strip?

 

your stock tune gets saved to the sct hand held tuner itself. you can have the tune that comes with the tuner or youcan have custom tunes added to it. your computer code is on your ECU box behind a panel in passenger feet area.

 

the computer code should also be located on a sticker that's in the door jam of the passenger side door (it's on the door)

 

sweet thanks I am pretty much leaning towards getting one now very soon. Just want to make sure of something.....If I get the tunner now and later I add gears or T/B and plenium or any other upgrade or take off my cats then can I make the adjustment myself or what do I do to change the tune? Do I have to pay somebody and mail it somewhere to get it re-tuned? Thanks

 

ehh.. it depends. I believe SCT came out with a newer version of their tune files that lets the user make adjustments to the tunes when I had all mine done. But I initially had a dyno tune and then later on added 4.10 gears and I was able to change that myself using a program you can download onto your comptuer from SCT's website.

 

Unles your car is tuned for 91 or 93 octane fuel then you should be running 87.

 

Alright thanks guys. I think I am going to get it with Two tunes one with 87 octane and one with 93 for the track. Thanks or all the replys so fast I am ordering it tonight!

 

I got mine tuned with 93 octane after my full exhaust set up and only gained 5RWHP.

 

Darksith...don't mean to hijack yer thread, but...I've got the xcal 2 sittin' here programmed from MT for 4.10 gears. It may be a while before I get the gears thrown in due to work, BUT if I install the program on my car will I be able to change the gear ratio on the tune? I want to install the performance tune from MT BUT keep my stock gear ratio until the 4.10's go in. Any help?

 

Christie posted something about that.

 

hmm...how'd I miss that???Thanks...

theres the link for the xtreme tune install

 

Thanks, Christie! You da ma....eh, woman!

 

um...its an x-cal2, you can change the gear ratio right on the tuner itself while its hooked up to the car....

 

On the tune I got from you? I haven't been able to read a lot of the online manual yet, but it sounds like I can't change the "dealer" program with out the software Christie mentioned...

 

supposedly that all depends on the intial tune file or something along those lines.. I'm not really sure but I can't change my tune at all on the hand held tuner.. I have to hook it up to my computer and use that software to chagne it. I also got the Xcal2 whenever it first came out /shrug they were suppose to add the support where you could adjust the tune later on I think

 

No, you can tweak the tune that is on there when you hook it up to the car. Thats kinda the whole point :P

Christie you are probably on Advantage II software. There is an update to advantage III software that lets you tweak the tunes. Call up the place that you had your dyno runs at and see if they can send you the new AdIII programming files so you can tweak them on your PC. I dont think they would charge you anything for it.

 

lol yeah.. that's what I was trying to say but I couldn't remember what version they were on and what I had. My version won't let you tweak the files. I have nothing to change so I haven't bothered in getting the Advan III stuff lol.

 

The new advantage 3 has datalogging though....

 

Got the tune installed and switched the gear ratio back to stock, but where in the hell is the option to turn off the traction control crap!!!! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

 

Thats gotta be written into the tune.

 

I can datalogg with the tune I have.. just have to have the right software
