when ordering xcal 3 what does it mean by additional tunes? you get 1 tune free. does this mean tunes for octane used?

just get the 1 free tune cuz the others u wont need. i thought i would need it too but i didnt, and as far as custom tunes u wont need cuz it already comes with a pre programmed tune that AM.com fixes for u so whenever u get the tuner just upload the pre programmed tune, there are alot of other selections to miss with but i would just leave them alone. also it would be better if u were running 93 octane. believe me it was worth the wait n the money
check it out

it also came with the usb cord to allow u to downloading updated tune for the Xcal 3 tuner, n also they give u a free emblem of SCT and a 2008 calender but had to throw it away cuz there were girls in it, my wife told me too

these are the selection a custom tune has

Global Spark - could move up or down from 0 degrees
Spark 0-2000 - could move only down from 0 degrees
Spark 2000-4000 - could move only down from 0 degrees
Spark 4000-8000 - could move only down from 0 degrees
WOT Air/Fuel - could only move up from 0.0% Richer
Rev Limit Drv - its at 6000rpms right now but i could change it up to 7000rpm
Rev Limit Neu. - its at 6000rpms right now but i could change it up to 7000rpm
Idle Speed Drv - could move it up or down but its at 556rpms right now
Idle Speed Neu - could move it up or down but its at 600rpms right now
Low Speed Fan - could move it up or down but its at 200 Degs F. right now
High Speed Fan - could move it up or down but its at 210 Degs F. right now
WOT Shift 1-2 - could move it up or down from 0mph
WOT Shift 2-3 - could move it up or down from 0mph
WOT Shift 3-4 - could move it up or down from 0mph
Shift Press 1-2 - could move it up or down from 0 percent
Shift Press 2-3 - could move it up or down from 0 percent
Shift Press 3-4 - could move it up or down from 0 percent

while a pre programmed tune doesnt have the Global Spark, but the pre programmed tune has a choice of 87, 91, 93 octane use, also EGR on/off, Fuel injector size - stock, 24lbs, 30lbs, Fuel Economy - Normal, Fuel Economy, MAF Size- Stock, 80mm, n i think sum other ones but dont remember

Um, i'd go with an XCal2 from Brenspeed. They are great, customer service wise, and the product was great. They don't give me **** when i need a new tune, and the tunes supposedly don't need to be tinkered with on a dyno, but i'm doing that anyway.

Id definitely go with suspension after that. Hell, even before the XCal2. You can live with a wrong speedometer.
