I dont think you would have to send the tuner back, I think you can just e-mail SCT and they will e-mail you a tune that you can load onto your tuner. Dont take my word for it though, I dont even have a handheld tuner lol.

Sounds good.

You should consider letting a shop do your tune when it comes time to get her on a dyno. These mail-order tunes aren't exactly the best.

yeah like everyone else has said, you'd be better of w/ a dyno tune over the "mail-in" tune, just because with the dyno they can use the sniffer to get the A/F right and other misc. things that SCT can't provide you with since they do not have the car.

gas tunes from 87-91 don't domuch at all really. With my mods & a 93 tune it didn't improve my power by any good numbers from 87-93 on a 4v

Is there much of a difference between the Xcal2 and Xcal3?


I too suggest you take her on a dyno, once you find a reputable shop that is!
