You're better off buying an X-CAL 2 from a tuner.. they'll include a few "custom" tunes that are worlds apart from the ones available from the manufacturer. I had a B ama chips tune on my old car and was very pleased, I figured I'd mix it up and go with brenspeed with the new car, whom I've heard great things about as well.

He can get a Predator the same way....as well as being able to datalog with the handheld itself as opposed to needing a laptop to datalog....which is what you need with an XCal2

its not that good of a deal because by the time you add 3 GOOD tunes you are paying well over 400 for the tuner and tunes...just get a predator with 3 bama tunes or SCT from brenspeed with 3 tunes for under 400

I saw some guy on another Mustang forum selling a Diablosport U7145 (works with 07 GT's) for like $200. I'll try to find the post.

Id just get an x-cal 2 just for the simple fact not many local people even work with the diablo anymore and they are about the same price.

The problem with doing that is his link doesn't include tunes. It doesnt really matter which he gets, its def better to get it from a tuner.
