Anyone using XCal Strategy Flash?
Just wondering if anyone has used the canned tunes that come with the Strategy Flash device. I'm looking to reduce throttle lag and torque from a dead stop. I know about Bama and Brenspeed and am considering those guys, but I can get a used Strategy Flash at a signficant discount, so I'm curious if it would help these issues as much as a custom tune. Anyone using this thing?

So anyone using the Strategy Flash?

However, in a indirect way, even if you have Bamachips and Brenspeed, e-mail you their custom tunes..Their still considered, as canned tunes anyway..The only real custom tune, is to have your vehicle tuned, on a dyno..Anyway, I hope this helps..and Good Luck, to you...
Which octane tunes have you tried? Does the 87 make a noticeable difference over stock, or do you have to go with 93 for that? Also, I noticed it has an economy tune - any idea what that is? Is it supposed to increase MPG at the expense of performance?
