Got my updated X-cal back!
I just received my updated X-cal 2 back from Bamachips. Doug restored my end user adjustability (I don't have access to a Windows machine anymore). And, by my request, he replaced the 92 octane torque tune with a 92 octane race tune! If all goes well, I'll be heading back to the track this Friday or Saturday.
But, I'm itchin' to just try out the tune! Think a race tune is going to be safe for a bit of around town driving, until I can find a nice, deserted backroad?

Just out of curiosity what is the diff between a race tune and a torque tune? My guess is that Torque tune is for real short slam on the gas and stop type stuff? And the race tune is for overall performance? Yes? No? Teacherman=clueless?

Rygen... I would love to see a 2/10's difference! That would put me in the 14.5's with an auto! I'll do my best!

-TQ Tune: 1/8 Mile Track
-Perf Tune: 1/4 Mile Track
For long distance drives, I would use the performance tune. Also, I got a 9.6 on the 1/8th with Dougs Performance tune. I never got a chance to try out his TQ tune at the 1/8th.

TQ tune is great for stop light to stop light seat of your pants feel. When I had Dougs tune, it was the tune I used for my daily drive. Performance tune is geared for the top end, max MPH. So, to translate for when you hit the track:
-TQ Tune: 1/8 Mile Track
-Perf Tune: 1/4 Mile Track

RE: Got my updated X-cal back!
I asked Doug if the race tune was safe for some street use...
[Yes, you can use it just be mindful of the throttle as it maybe a bit much for the street. The timing and fuel are the same as the Performance so it is still safe for daily driving.]
I'll try it out later tonight and let you know what I think.
