Anyone know if you really have to remove all those fuses everytime you reflash/change tunes from an SCT XCal2? Can you just plug it in and swap em'? Or is pulling the fuses necessary everytime?

Good question, I've been meaning to ask as well.

From the SCTFlash Support Discussion Forum:

"The pulling of fuses is not necessary for the flash to work correctly, however we list it in the manual to cover ourselves for customers who have leaky injectors or weak batteries, as if the battery dies during a flash, it could be bad. "

Reason I ask is this weekend we were driving through Podunk, UT and needed gas. I was getting pretty low so I stopped off at a Mom'N'Pop station (thought it was the only one close enough) and they didn't have anything over 87 (and I doubt it was even that at a Mom'N'Pop Stop). I'm currently running an 89 tune. The attendant actually told me there was a BP within the distance that I thought I could make, so we carried on and filled up there (Info Center said I had 8 miles to empty).

But ultimately, I was just wondering if I could have just plugged in and swapped for the 87 tune on the spot?

Its a safty thing. Most guys I speak with do not pull the plugs, including me. Just make sure the accesories are off. Have had no problems.
