What is the best programmer and what should I look out for... I have axle back flow masters 10 series, and plan on getting cai (not sure what brand yet, input welcome) and gears (most likely 3.73) in the very near future.... Eventually a s/c maybe whipple or roush (again input welcome)... So what type of programmer where i can get it and a good price (please note i have never used a programmer so i am pretty much an illiterate twit :dunno when it comes to these so please explain as much as possible!) Thanks!:feedback

SCT Xcalibrators are the most common for sure. Followed by Diablo. There are also a few others out there worth mentioning, including HPTuners and Sniper.


I have a SCT Xcal - 2. I like it a lot. If I had to do it all over again I would still get a XCal but it would be the Xcal 3 since its the newest.

i just got a brenspeed intake/sct3/tune package. 635$ kinda a pricey but they are reputed to be the best so i thought it was worthwhile. just plugged the sct3 in and said upload tune; it saved the stock and put in the new one about 3 minutes total

+1 on SCT & Diablosport Predator being the most common.

I run the Predator, while the SCT seems to be the most popular choice.

What would i want for my custom tunes out of the 3 choices... man i cant wait till i have this down more... I can always help you guys out with electrical / audio / video / keyless entry questions lol

First question is do you have 93 octane in your area and are you willing to pay for it?

 

[07 STROKER]

oui.

 

[rdspins89]

only one station in town with 93 and its usually out so probably not a good idea... the rest have 91 though i am moving in 4 months to the orlando tampa area... maybe wait or can i get the tunes redone after i move?

 

[JakeM]

I have 87,91 and 93 on mine. I most commonly run the 93 as it is everywhere in my area.

 

[rdspins89]

I guess ill just have to pay more close attention around town and see what most gas stations are selling... anyone from the orlando tampa area... what are they running

Why don't you contact Justin at VMP Tuning? VMP Tuning is in Central Florida. A dyno tune is going to be much better than any mail order tune. VMP Tuning does amazing work. I'm sure he'd be willing to work a deal where you can get a Xcal3 with a custom tune and than you could get a dyno tune done once you get to Florida. I'd also recommend getting a C&L Racer cai.

Most places around here in Florida have 87, 89, and 93 octane. A few gas stations sell 91 in addition to the previous mentioned.
