SCT Xcalibrator 2 PIC + Info
#2
I wonder how big the diffrence between the programs is? Like when ultimate turbo or whatever that turbo company advertises on this page said that they were haveing troubble tuning due to the limitations of the first Xcalibrator.

Well I hope the end user software is better than the SCT ExtremeTune we have now for the XCalibrator version 1.0. The end user software has to be my biggest gripe with the current XCalibrator product.

Very good news. Hopefully they cut current SCT owners a price break.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking......having purchased the Xcalibrator several weeks ago!! Wish I had known this unit was in the pipeline - but I guess, like any technology, no matter when you buy - the next best is right around the corner...

It would be nice if all you had to do is call them up and let them know what mods you currently have installed. Then they send you a custom tune for your current mods. Is that what is coming?

That capability is currnetly available through the original Xcal. HOWEVER, without a dyno close by, some shops won't send you an arbitrary tune without seeing some installed equipment and readable numbers.
They risk the liablility of major mechanical damage/bodily injury.

There's one key thing different tough. The Predator allows you to make adjustments with the handheld unit itself. No software required for that.
Look's to me from the description that you'll need a software interface to make adjustments.

Funny, the ad says they are the first to sell a multi programed unit. I am not sure how good it is to be first if you have these problems.

Geez, and I am still waiting for software that will let me program the first generation from SCT.

I registered and watched the forum on SCT. I watched 2005RedGT and LordBritish get very little response too. Heck I wrote an email to one of the SCT guys in Feb. I still have not gotten a response.
Wish I had known this unit was in the pipeline

Actually, the software has been out for a while, and works well. There only a few things (auto tranny items) that have not been added to work at this time. However, i have been doing programming with the software for at least 6 weeks now. Prior to that, it was out but was pure garbage.
Now for their lack of response. Yes, you are right. IT was pathetic. BUT recent event seems to have shaken up their support. They are much more responsive than before. They still have a ways to go, but they are getting there
