Help me choose...

So yea, this summer my funds are quickly diminshing. I am still going to get my gears installed, but, is there a big difference if the shop uses a speedcal than the SCT II? Cause the speedcal is cheaper right? I'm just doing the gears and SLP cat-back...I do have plans for LT's, o/r X, and a blower...so should I just bite the bullet and buy the SCT...or can I get away with getting a speedcal since it's just gears and exhaust? Thanks guys...


(55 more days 'til I'm outta 3rd world country ( ) and back on US soil and most important...my mustang !!!

It will come down to the money and timing. The Speedcal will do what you need for now. Done deal. Set it and foget it. The SCT Xcalibrator2 will do that and then more. You can even hold off on the SpeedCal and drive around with your speedometer off until you can get an Xcal2. It won't hurt anything other than rack up more miles on your odometer. Or you could get the SpeedCal now, then just remove it and sell it when you get an Xcal2 later. Seach around for going rates on new and used SpeedCals. Or you can just do the SpeedCal now and get an Xcal2 later when you get tuned for the blower, if you're serious about the blower. Many tuners will sell you an Xcal2 and the custom tuning as one package.

If you're planning on SC and going O/R, forget the Speedcal and get the SCT-2.
I got mine from Tim and MPH custom tuned for $399!

I think it would be a waste of $ to get the speedcal and then replace it later. I say just go for the sct now. t

I had a speedcal and got rid of it when I got the SCT2. You'll pick up some HP with a SCT2 tune, and not with a speedcal.
