Ordering Brenspeed XCal 2

06GTMustang89 · October 21st, 2007, 01:03 AM

as in the title im ordering it on tuesday when i get paid...about these custom tunes do i just tell them what mods ive done and they tune it to the three octane levels according to the mods i have done?? And how much of a difference am i going to feel with the full 93 tune??

Modern_Muscle · October 21st, 2007, 01:16 AM

what happens is they will ask for your mods, list them all (drivetrain and tire height/gear changes), then pick your tunes based on the octane available in your area. Like with Bama, you get choices between race, torque, and performance, in 87 89 92 and 93 octane tunes....
race is a full top and bottom end tune, theoretically combining the performance and torque tunes
torque is a low end performance tune with not as much top end as the performance tune
Performance is a top end performer with not as much low end as the torque tune
its your choice man, torque is supposed to be more fun daily driving, and race has worse gas mileage, but full rpm band performance.

should i go with bama rather then brenspeed anybody know which they would go with based on their experiance

Modern_Muscle · October 21st, 2007, 01:20 AM

I havent personally tried brenspeed, brenspeed has better customer service, as bama is a one man operation.
brenspeed is xcal only, and bama is xcal and diablo(predator) friendly

06GTMustang89 · October 21st, 2007, 01:24 AM

do you have the xcal or the predator??

Modern_Muscle · October 21st, 2007, 01:29 AM

I have the predator, cause I got it for a lil over 100 bucks used and unlocked.

06GTMustang89 · October 21st, 2007, 01:40 AM

Anybody that has ordered from brenspeed can you tell me how it works when you order i figured you just put in your mods and car in the comments box in the purchasing thing but idk...please shed some light on this dim subject for me

menace07 · October 21st, 2007, 02:25 AM

I ordered a jlt cai and xcal2 from brenspeed about a week ago. I did it over the phone, and all they need is your vehicle info, mods, gear ratio, and the code from your processor. They typically then set you up with 89, 91 and 93 octane tunes, with 93 being basically like bamas "race" tune. I found that brenspeeds service was excellent, and I've only tried the 91 tune because i still had 91 octane in the tank and it made one helluva difference. I would definately recommend brenspeed, but I dont think you can go wrong with bama either. Just heard its really hard to get ahold of bama when u need something.

xcal 2 is old... xcal 3 is what they sell.

06GTMustang89 · October 22nd, 2007, 12:39 AM

oh well there site says xcal 2 still then

I went with Brenspeed and have nothing but good things to say about them.

06GTMustang89 · October 22nd, 2007, 02:31 PM

Just got off the phone really nice guy got the 89,91,93 tune cannot wait to get it and put 93 in!!!

GTron · October 22nd, 2007, 05:31 PM

Good deal brutha. Let us know how big of a smile you have when you first hit the go pedal.

Regency 2007 · October 22nd, 2007, 05:36 PM

You will be better off wth brenspeed or dynospeed tuner and tunes compared to BAMA, brenspeed and dynospeed actually build some of the fastest cars made on the streets and strips and their service is better than Bama.

06GTMustang89 · October 24th, 2007, 03:45 PM

got the email from brenspeed and they said my tune should be done by monday and takes 2 days to ship so basically wednesday or thursday of next week ill be getting it....i have 87 in the tank now but im at 1/4 tank. Should i fill up with 93 on friday when im on E just so i have it in my tank for my tune?? Will this hurt anything cuz i know if you run a different grade that isn't for your car it can screw things up..

06GTMustang89 · October 24th, 2007, 06:52 PM

anybody??

I don't think anything will go wrong if you change fuel grades as long as you put the proper tune in. But I could be wrong.

JohnnyZ · October 24th, 2007, 07:01 PM

it really doesn't matter where you get your tunes from... they are all pre-made tunes from SCT anyways. All any aftermarket company does is type in what mods you've done and PRESTO CHANGE-O There is your "custom" tune.

06RedfireGT · October 24th, 2007, 07:59 PM

YEs, fill your car up with 93 now that way you don't have to wait to install your tune :wink
