Oh ok, thanks guys. I was getting worried that messed up somehow and I wasnt tuned right. But like you said, "PLstang", if I didnt have it tuned the car would be running like sh*t. Thanks though, I was really worrying, LOL.

Brents tunes are already loaded on your XCAL. If you were not running the tune, and you have a C&L intake, you would be throwing codes left and right....
If you are still in doubt, go plug in your tuner. Go to custom tune. Page up and down and you will see the three tunes you specified you wanted when you bought the tuner.....

RE: Its Official
in case it is not clear to anyone.
theCD that the OP is talking about is for loading tunes onto the XCAL2. however, brenspeed sends you your XCAL2 with the tunes preloaded.
however, if you needed to update the tunes on your XCAL2 you would need theCD mentioned to install the upload program onto your computer. i had to do this.
after i purchased my JLT2 CAI from brenspeed i took it home and after uploading the tunes to my car it wouldn't start. the car had been "retuned" already at an oil change by the dealership.
i called brenspeed and they figured that out and sent me 3 new tunesvia e-mail. i installed the upload program on my computer and uploaded the new tunes to the XCAL2. used the XCAL2 to upload them to my car and voila!

Yep, that's the Liveload software. I'd rather download it from the SCT site to ensure I have the latest version. They updated the software some time ago and tunes built after that date wouldn't work with the old software.

I'm the biggest RETARD on Mustangforums. So this is what happened. I ordered my intake and tuner about 5 or 6 months ago. You guys know how stupid I am, I installed the intake, took the SCT tuner and changed the octane to 93 and that was it. How stupid could I really be. So needless to say I was browsing around here the other day and seen a link for "how to tune your car with the SCT tuner" or something like that. And go figure, it showed how you put the disc in your computer, download it and then add it to your SCT tuner. So needless to say now I cant find my disc with my tunes on it so I emailed Brent at Brenspeed asking how much it would be to get another disc. My Wife said she remembers seeing the disc not to long ago, but we cant find it. And I really thought my car was faster after the intake was installed, looks like I'll be getting a big rude awakening when I actually get it tuned.
