I currently have a Xcal 2 from B ama, and I need to get new tunes through email, because I am adding a part to the car. My question is how do I download the tunes onto the tuner? The tuner did not come with any USB cables, or any cables to hook into the computer. What kind of cable do I need?? Any help would be appreciated.

The cable is a standard USB cable that you would have hooked between your printer and computer. As for the download, SCT website has all the details of how to get the tune from an email to the tuner.

Here is a copy/paste from my site with some short instructions.
How to load the tune onto an X-Cal2: Download and install Live Load 3 from the SCT website. The X-Cal2 connects to your PC with a standard USB A to B cable, the port is on the bottom of the X-Cal2 (not top). The first time you plug the flasher into your PC windows will detect it and install drivers. If windows asks to look for drivers on the internet select yes. If that does not work you may have to download drivers from SCT's website. We will send you an email with your tune attached as a .LL3 file. When you receive this email save the attachment to a directory that you will be able to find later on, such as the Desktop.
Run the Live Load 3 program with the flasher connected to your PC. Click on the browse button in the upper right hand corner. Select the file that you saved from the email. Select the file position on the device (File 1, 2, or 3) and enter a short description. Click the "Add File" button. When programming is finished you can disconnect the X-Cal2 from your PC and program the car. We do not recomend pulling any fuses when flashing the vehicle. The X-Cal2 instructions can be found here.
you need to be able to change the USB drivers on the PC that you are using to do this. I attempted to use my work laptop and since I do not have administrator rights I was not able to make the necessary changes. (3 hours frustration and a 30 minute call to SCT to figure this out.) I used a friends PC and it took me like 20 mins tops.
