I can't say it enough!!, do it!! I have the 93 from Brenspeed and the difference is amazing. It totally transformed my '10 GT. I can only imagine what the other drivers were thinking when they looked over and saw a 47 year old guy giggling like a little kid when I first took it out after downloading the program. It's worth every penny and then some.

The handheld device does NOT make a bit of difference in the car's performance. It's the quality of the tune that's written and loaded into the handheld. An Xcal3 vs Xcal2 vs Predator vs any other handheld and the differences are the ease of changing a few minor parameters. Worry more about who you buy the tunes from instead of worrying about the handheld or CAI.

What he said. The canned tunes are worthless! I don't care what tuner it is all I want to know is who wrote the tune that got downloaded off of it!

Firetruck, it's obvious that YOU DON'T GET IT. It's not the handheld tuner that matters with respect to throwing CELs. It has to do with the TUNE THAT YOU BUY THAT GOES WITH THE HANDHELD DEVICE. Please use the search feature and read the stickies before you spend your money and then find out that you fu*ked up because you have no idea what you're doing.

Everybody talks all the time about how good Brenspeed, BAMA and anyone else is, how can they send you a kick *** tune like everyone says when they don't even have you on a dyno, I would think hooked up and the handheld in place and tuned on the spot on a dyno is better than or more commended than telling them what you are running and the make one up and send, by the handheld for best price take to a local tuner, have it dyno'd and let them show you how to use in future.

It still takes a good tuner to tune a car on a dyno, to get the best of all worlds you need to have someone like Breenspeed or such dyno tune your car. Still their down loadable tunes are better then what comes on it from the SCT and such.


Keep in mind they have already dyno'd several of the same Mustangs already, the difference between their tune and having them dyno tune would probably very little. I like things perfect though so dyno tune to perfection for me.

yep nothing like standing next to the tuner while they are running up the rpm's nice to see , even though on rollers that you new ride can run up to 130 in 4th and it never saw 5th during the tune.
