I just want to know who has the best price for them? I planned on just getting the SCTXcal2 from V6 mustang Performance tonight. If theres a cheaper place please let me know. Im having the shop thats installing my gears & tlok tune & dyno my car afterwards, so I don't think I need any "canned tunes" as you guys would call it right? The shop will set there own tunes right?



Thanks

Will you shop sell it to you? That way you have one point of contact for hardware and services. I bought mine through excessive with a professional tune.

Having second thoughts. The shop Im going to specializes in diablo. The shop has been around for about 9, 10 years. What do you think? Im thinking it would almost be better to go with what they sell (Diablo) sence thats what there used to using. What do you think?

If you are a manual then fine. If you are an auto find another shop. I had an auto and the diablo couldn't firm up my shift points, and had my TQ all crazy on the dyno, like little spikes all over the place!

And how does one become a TMS member? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

Or am I already one just by registering here?

He gave me the discount and I didn't even know there was a discount! He found out I posted here after I made the order and gave me some money back! Doug is pretty cool like that.

Submitted my order form! I just wont be able to pay for it until the 15th... so hopefully Doug has everything processed and ready by that time and we can [speed] through the order process!

Can't wait!

Cool. Hey, I don't want to be the guy that makes you spend all your money...but...You should think about getting the C&L/XCAL-2 combo. I looked at you sig and it looks like you don't have a CAI yet. I think you'd be very pleased with the C&L. You do have the Magnaflow duals that I want. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

How much is the C&L / XCAL-2 Combo and where can I purchase it? I was looking into getting an XCAL2 also [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] all the good things I hear about it.

I'd love to, but I fear it'd be pushing my budget. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

What about this: Get the xcal2 now and later, maybe a month from now, I'll grab a CAI. Of course, I'm under the impression Doug will email out a new tune for me once I acquire a CAI.

That sound like a good plan?
