Depends how used...what condition are they in? If they check out alright, that is a very good deal.

You will still need to buy a tuner from Bamachips or Brenspeed, but otherwise that is a good deal

ok about the tuner there i am thinking of geting a xcal2 from brenspeed but i know a guy who says he can custom tune it better with a diablo predator not using custom tunes but just adjusting the car with the predator should i go with brenspeed or go with the diablo?

btw he says he has less then 3000km on the parts (he got a blower)

If you can get a C&L racer intake, UDP's, CMDP, and a tuner for under $1K...that is very good...the tuner is gonna cost you another $500...I would recommend taking the XCal2 to a custom tuner

I think you need to go back to HS and take a math class

Brenspeed SCT Xcal2 or X3 with 3 custom brenspeed tunes is $379 + $0 for shipping is still only $379


Bamachips Predator with 3 custom tunes is $399
Bamachips SCT Xcal2 or X3 with 3 custom tunes is $399

Either way you will be able to keep it under $1000. As for the tuner, either one is good but you can get the diablo with the Bama tunes and then also let your friend take a shot to try and beat them......good luck with that though

huh....Doug has the predator? Are you sure you mean Brenspeed doesnt have it?

Here is the Bama number 205-302-0231. Call him right away in the AM tomorrow morning and he will hook you up and answer any questions. You should have the tuner by the end of next week.

I bought a C&L Street with a new filter and heatshield for $150shipped, new Steeda UDP for $150shipped, and whenever the dude ships my delete plates I'll have Steeda delete plates for $100.

I'd say its a pretty good deal, but you'll need a tuner and tune so add at least another $200 ontop of the $421.
