Default Evo Xcal 2 combo

After working some overtime to get enough money, I finally gave in an order the xcal 2 combo from Fred at evolution performance. I hope I made a wise decision. From what I see on this forum I don't think I can go wrong!

You will be plenty happy. The 93 tune is AWESOME..... hope you can afford to go with 93. Heck, around here, it's only 20 cents a gallon more. I only drive my Stang about 4000 per year, so for me the difference is about $40 per year. For others, who drive 12,000 miles, it's about $120 year more to run 93 octane.

Personally, I can't see why so many people make a big deal about the higher octane cost. If you drive 12,000 miles a year, isn't it worth $10 a month to have an extra kick in your car? And, I am not even taking any credit for possible better gas mileage from 93 octane.

You're right. When you're paying $45 to fill up your tank, why does an additional $3/fill-up make a difference? Until Premium goes beyond an additional $.20/gallon, I'll keep filling with that.

Let me know how you make out with it. I stopped by Evolution Performance this afternoon to check out the place. I talked to Fred about the Xcal combo kit. I was tempted to have him installed it right there, as he said that he had time. I wasn't prepared to drop $600 dollars on the combo kit just yet though.

There really is no "best" tuner or CAI.

What can be said is that virtually everybody who gets the XCal2 and C&L CAI are very happy.

Everyone here is happy with Evolution, and they have great prices.

Everybody is also happy with Bamachips, Brenspeed and Alternative Auto.

From my research, I also believe that the sponsors that sell tuners on this forum have mostly top quality products. I went with the combo from evolution because it was the least expensive of anyone else on this site.
