Default JLT/Xcal installed

Finally. I put the JLT/Xcal2 93 tune from Breenspeed put in yesterday. I did not get sent the MAF screws....and the stock ones did not fit...so after redrilling the holes to make the stock ones fit I was on the road. First reaction.....even just tapping the gas the car seems to just want to take off. Second reaction. I got to stop sign....and floored it. The difference in the exceleration is amazing. The car just took off. Gotta love the sound also. I took a buddy out who owns a 04 GT and now he plans on getting an intake/tune through Breenspeed. I will have to save up some extra $$$ for the gas I am going to burn through....either way....well worth it

Even though you're using a higher octane of gas, your tune should improve MPG so it all evens out financially.[8D]

The MPG all depends on the angle of your right foot. I have that combo in my GT along with MAC axle backs and it is truely awesome. The throttle response is very much improved and the sound combo is music to my ears. Enjoy it, you made a great choice.

I will have to agree on the whole MPG issue. I was beating on it pretty bad this weekend. Every chance I had I was going WOT . My numbers dipped to about 15.2.....but it is well worth it. During the week I cant beat it up as much because there is a lot of traffic [:@]

Thats what I told him......but he thinks that since it did so much for my car....that it will make his that much better. Oh well...not my money
