Default SCT Tuner

I was looking into getting an Xcalibrator but not from Bamachips or Brenspeed. What model X2 does Bama and Brenspeed need for me to buy their tunes and load them on to the X2. I have seen two models the 9400 and 9415 anyone know the difference? Thanks!

It would be cheaper just to get it from them with the tune , rather than separately....its a no brainer!...you cant mess with perfection...JMO!

$379 from them plus the $150 for three tunes is not cheaper than $200 (from my source) plus $150 for three tunes. Unless I am missing something like they throw in the tunes when you buy a predator or an X2 but I highly doubt it. I imagine I get the same customer serivce when I have my own X2 also... buy the tunes from Benspeed or Bama then if you upgrade you have to buy a new tune from them(unless the part is purchased from them). Sounds like my way is $179 cheaper? I just read about the X2 not being able to turn the O2 sensor off anyway, I'll be going with the Predator unless anyone has something to add.

yes you are missing the point

the 379 is with their tunes
Bama will update his tunes for free
Brenspeed if you buy part from them

Bama has diablo

my bad!... i was thinking you were getting a cai & tune .. which is cheaper as a package, rather than buying separately!....either way a tuner w/tunes from brenspeed or bama is very fairly priced , if it comes down to 20-30 $ difference ...its still worth getting it from them( less headaches) ! ....and im pretty sure you can turn off the O2 sensors W/xcal2!

You cant, it can be done in the tune only, but brenspeed can write a tune with them on and off if you have emissions

The tunes are included if you buy it from brenspeed or $125 if you buy it from somewhere else. I'm buying a used C&L and SCT and having them redo the tune, that's how I know.

Where do you live? That sure looks like the Sanford Starport. If so, just get a custom dyno tune from VMPTuning.com. If not, still check them out. Tunes are included with the price of the tuner from most tuners. Justin sells the Xcal2 for $395 with 3 custom tunes.
