Default Before I order.

Ok here's the deal. I just payed a lot of money on my car and am finally going to purchase my xcal2 and tunes from Brent. Im not sure the length of time it takes to recieve your custom tune by email so I was going to see if you guys suggested waiting until I get the tuner to order the tune or just order them at the same time. Also, I've heard +1s on 91 tune w/93 oct over 93 tune w/93 oct and the reverse. Which should I go for?

Doesn't he preload the tunes on the tuner before he ships them? I don't have any experience with Brenspeed, but I got to think they are pretty similar to Bamachips. I ordered my tune from Bamachips at around 7:00pm, and when I got to work the next morning the tune was already sent to me.

I believe when you order the tuner, the tunes come with it.

When I ordered the Steeda/SCT combo from Brenspeed, they got the specs of the car from me, and I received the handheld loaded with the 87, 91 and 93 tune.

He sends the Xcal with the software configs installed. If you need changes later he can email the new configs to you.

Custom tune yes, youll be getting an email probebly the next buisness day asking you for your 4 digit tear tag code on the computer under the hood ,trans typeauto 5r55s or stick tr3650
whats mods you have, wat tunes you want ex. 87,91,93 or wutever octane levels you use where you live. it usually takes about a week n a half to recive the tunes/scal, could be less.

He'll contact you and ask for the specifics on your car, and some code that you'll find on the computer.....then he'll load the appropriate tunes on the SCT tuner before it ships.

From what I understanda "canned tune" is one that comes from the tunner manufacture (i.e. SCT or Predator). The 3 octane tunes you get if you ordered from Brenspeed are custom tunes created by Brent. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you ordering an air intake along with the tunner to maximize Hp?

Listed in sig lol. I have had it for a while...sitting in the garage. Ok so the custom tuning orders (1/$75 and 3/$125) are for those who bought the SCT elsewhere but want brenspeed custom tunes? Now that I've purchased the xcal 2 from Brenspeed, ill recieve the 3 free of charge right?
