Yes,
These kits will come with X-2's preloaded with BamaChips supercharger tuning. They will be bolt on and drive away kits. They will come with larger injectors and some kits will have a different MAF as well.
As for pricing I beleive they are trying to stay around $3500 or the average cost for a s/c kit these days. This is for the base kit, best part is they may also be offering a upgrade for the kit so you can buy the kit at first and then down the line you can add a smaller pulley, larger TB, and different tune and have even more power so it has room to grow.
That video is of an automatic car, numbers soon to follow...
Thanks, Doug.

Is there going to be a discount if you already have an XCal-2? Like say, if you already bought one from a certain fellow in Alabama? And will there be a torque tune available? Also, can I keep my Steeda CAI?

Doug,
Have you had a chance to tune one yet? I'm curious what you can squeze out of it. I think the the guy from SCT is doing Toms (Afixer's) tune (is Dave his name?), but I am curious what you have managed to get out of this kit?

Chris Johnson is out at MagnaCharger and doing some base tuning for the X-charger and for the MagnaCharger GT kit as well. Once the base tune is established I will get it and then make my adjustments to it for the throttle lag and such, from their the X-2's that come with the kits will come from me.
Also, if you have a X-2 already then we will work with you on the pricing and I will be able to supply you with the tuning.
I've been working with Dave Vanek from the beginnings of this kit because I already do the tuning for the Explorer and Ranger kit he sells. Also because of my knowledge of the 4.0's, I've made the parts suggestions and some kit suggestions that have truly made this kit one for the beginner to the full on racer.
Once we have the kit dialed I will have one for my own testing purposes and if I can get in in time I may have it at a Fun Ford Weekend race to see what kinda numbers we can get from it on the track.
Thanks, Doug.

Yup,
The 05's sound as if they have a problem with anything higher then about 115 mph, on most the SCT tunes dont even raise the speed limiters above that. The new driveshaft they installed was a revised unit with locks on the U-joints, something the 05 didn't have.
After some discussion with Dave about this more I may actually be doing the final tuning on it very soon. The reason I didn't do the intial tuning is the new throttle tables for the 05ups is very complicated and when he found out that Chris was coming out there we jumped at the chance. Still things aren't 100% yet so I may go out and finish it up, we'll find out soon. Getting my bags packed to goto Cali!

Very cool, I'm wondering what Doug can do with that M90. I can't wait to see the results of this.
