To tune or not to tune...That is the.. Cliché

[AlcHemiE]

So i've got the mods in my sig.. I've been thinking about some other mods, not sure on what though, but the one that has not crossed my mind is a tuner. From what i've heard, i may be running lean right now, and that is a . Should i invest in a tuner? Of course i am going to get one, but i wanted to get some other stuff first (LCA's, Pullies, LT's, etc..) But should i put those off and get the tuner right away? Anf if so, how is the SCT Xcallibrator 2?

well i have heard good things about the SCT X-2....i heard modular depot is a good place to purchase it because they will send you tunes over your computer(they provide your tuner with a usb cable) which would make it easy to upgrade and keep your car tuned...

Yeah, i was reading about that.. seems like a geat deal. But my issue is not wether or not to get one, because i will eventually. I'm just worried that i am running to lean now.. and if i continue to do so, will damage my motor. If it can wait a month or so, i will put it off, but if i need to have it, i will purchase it ASAP..

hmm, judging by what you have now, i would say you dont NEED it, but it would grow with you and if you have the cash, then i will say get it

hope that wasnt too confusing

You can get tunes via email also with the predator.

The best way is to take the predator or excalibrator to the dyno and get a custom tune to your car. They will load the custom tune to your tuner.

You should not need a tune yet. If you are in the market for a custom tune, it does not matter which flash tuner (SCT or Diablo) you use. If I were buying a brand new tuner, I would seriouly consider an XCal 2, however used Predators are available for $250 or so. If you are going to get a tune locally, use whichever flash tuner is compatible with the software at the shop you use.

You should not be running lean with the mods you have listed unless you have a vacuum leak.

I only ran lean after I installed the Diablo tune. That was when the Pred. first came out for the Mustang...they had a lot of problems with the tune. I was running so lean the check eng. light came on. After I got the tune from RWTD I was OK. I would say hold off untill you have more mods.
