SCT Xcalibrator 2, Is it all they say it is?

donny82277 · April 11th, 2007, 08:07 PM

I read on a website that an 03 GT can gain 17 rwhp with just the Xcal2, any dyno proven testimonials out there, or any at all for that matter? I have a CAI, Off-road X-pipe with flowmasters and Underdrive pulleys. What can I expect to gain?

20-25hp and maybe a little more torque with those mods.

But if you dont mind spending a little more money...get the Livewire.

BADASS!!!

I think you are going to be looking more of 10-15hp and IMO the livewire is a little overrated a SCT Xcal2 should do you just fine. But were you are really going to benifit is if you get it custom tuned on a dyno.

I personally think that the Livewire is over rated as well! Just stick with the SCT tuner from bamachips and you will like it! Doug will burn you semi custom( its not custom because its not on a dyno) tunes and you have a choice of what octane and if you want Performance tune, Race tune or Torque tune! Its worth the couple extra bucks because he will also then send you free tunes when you mod your car more!

I'm digging my Sniper Tuning's Special Forces software. You need a pc to make the adjustments, but it'll store 5 tunes and you can use it on two ford vehicles.

It allows adjustments to the tune for fuel, exchaust, injector size, nitrous, etc. Also the standard stuff like shift points, rev limiter, speedo limiter, tire size...etc.

It definately seems to pull a bit more through the higher rpms with the tune.

I went with the diabloSport Predator. It does everything the SCT can do, but I got mine for $218 shipped off ebay. It also does live data logging if you have a laptop. I think it is way too soon to be getting a dyno tune with those mods. You have a similar set up to my own. I have a O/R X, magnapacks, K&N CAI and my tuner. I'll be getting UDPs shorty. Wait till you get a some type of FI or head and cam work before you pay to go to the dyno.

I am also going with the Diablo Preditor the only reason i know about sct is cause i have a couple of buddys that have it.

donny82277 · April 12th, 2007, 02:40 PM

So are the diablosport predator and the xcal2 almost the same?

Yeah........

yes, i did some research before getting mine and decided that the only difference was that the diablo was EASIER to use. so i went with diablo.
