Default Cheapest place to buy C&L/xcal tune

I'm looking for the C&L street c.a.i. and xcal tune. I know evolution performance sells them for $625, B-a-m-a chips for $699, Breenspeed $659, RPM outlet $540-but they suck from what I hear. Any others?

You want to get a combo with the custom tunes....so Evo, B ama and Brenspeed are really your best options.

Which shop will modify my tunes for free? Like if I add different mods in the future. Thanks

Not a good idea. When you tack on the 180 fors dougs diablo tune you are at 600ish and that is used parts. Just buy from Brenspeed or B ama and be done with it. The extra couple bucks is well worth it.

Or would it be cheaper to buy the C&L intake from someone else, and then buy the tune from Breenspeed, or B ama?

RPM Outlet often bundles the SCT Strategy tuner with their packages which is *not* the same thing as an XCAL2. Hence the big difference in price.

Look carefully before buying.

B-ama C-hips gives the best bang and tune for the buck IMO.

So Evolution Performance is the cheapest at $625 for the intake and the tune. Intakes are all the same, only thing Im paying extra for is who does the tune. Does Evo per. do free tunes if I add other mods later. Like exhaust, headers, pulleys, etc.

I think Brenspeed has like 200% customer service and their prices are fairly decent. I know when I order mine, I'm calling Brent at Brenspeed.
