Default RE: Tuner instead of speed cal?

ORIGINAL: 02ToRcHgTSLP

you will feel a differnece with all of them, the sct x cal 3 is 380 new and the diablo is 330 i think at americanmuscle.com they both work but the sct comes with 3 tunes, 87,89,93 octane i believe and the diablo just comes with the 93 tune. I have my diablo for sale used for 215 shipped to your door cuz im goin for the new sct x cal 3. Alot of ppl like the sct tuners tho becuase there are alot more shops that tune with it. again they all work so go for what you want man.

I also have an 02 torch red gt lol hell ya!
Thanks fellow Torch...I appreciate the info. Sounds like the SCT has a bit more flexibility with tunes. My next question is if I buy one used/unlocked, how do I go about getting tunes for it? My car has only basic mods as you can see in my sig, do I have to get a dyno tune or can I get some basic "generic" tunes suitable for bolt on mods?

I refuse to let this thread die! J/K Seriously, I found out the answers to my last questions about getting the tunes. I can buy them from a tuner shop. Problem solved. I now have a new and very important question...drum roll please....I talked to the guy selling me the used and unlocked XCal2 on the phone today. I wanted to make absolutely sure that I am buying one that is unlocked. He told me it for sure is and he said that he had tried to hook it up to his buddy's car and put one of the tunes on the car, but it gave him a message to the effect of wrong car/vin or something. Is this expected if it is locked/unlocked? Thanks a ton for all the helpful info you all have provided me. I hate being ignorant, but look forward to being "learned" on this stuff.
