Probably gonna pull the trigger on a hand-held tuner in the next couple of weeks, and have the playing field narrowed to the DiabloSport Predator or the SCT XCal II. Are there any advantages of one over the other?

Thanks!

with SCT XCal II the extreme software with the xcal you can modify your tunes... here is a link to it... http://www.sctflash.com/xtreme.php

You download new tunes for the Diablo via the website, so they are really not custom tunes. Now with the xcal, you contact a SCT Dealer who can custom make tunes for mods on your car. Which get the most out of the mods in which you get on your car. Don't get me wrong the Diablo is a good tuner, just Xcal can just be tuned with much more detail.

There are Diablo CMR dealers who can provide high quality custom tuning just as some SCT dealers can. I have such a custom Predator tune. When it comes to custom tuning, the device used doen't matter at all, it's the quality of the tune written for it. The Predator or the XCal II is simply a means of downloading it.

 

showrides.net has a pretty good deal for an xcal II. $350 for the tuner + unlimited tunes via email
unlimited tunes is good for future modding

 

redass we have that here on our site to in the group buy.. i would deffenintly go with the sct 2 if you going with alot of mods.

 

Does anyone know of a software that you can actually open up the tables and make adjustments. I know SCT makes pro racer, which is like 300 + the price of the tuner. I know that there is uberdata for hondas (which is free) does anyone know of something like this for fords?

 

sct has software you can download to modify the tune. I think the xcal II works with it. not sure about the xcal.

 

Thanks, Gang – XCal II it is then!
