Default Tuner Chips

I am looking into putting a performance tune up chip into my Mustang and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on what others have used and prefer. I am taking into account price, ease of use and performance. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a 05-07, there are no chips. You can buy a tuner, such as an Xcal2 or a Diablo. They go for about 375-400 depending on where you go. When you order the tuner, they will request some information from your car, then they will program the tuner accordingly. I personally went with the Xcal2+C&L intake combo from Brenspeed using 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes. It's due to arrive thursday, so I can't tell you how much I like it yet [&o]

I went with the Xcal2 from VMPtuning and there $99.00 intake special(total price $475.00).Got the 87 mileage,87 performance and 93 performance tunes.BIG differance in auto trans shifting and car feels more alive.Mileage went from 24.5 mpghighway to 29.1! Waiting for tank of 87 octane to run out and will fill-up with 93.Should be fun! Best thing Ive done to car. I think Justin has free shipping too.
