east_sidaz40 said:okay i get really confused when it comes to tuning. lets say i get the Xcal 2 hand held tuner, and use it on my 2004 GT and advance the timing ...etc and gain the extra power. NEXT i want to instal the VT stage 1 cams. Tim told me he will send me a chip for the cams. SO what do i do next. I just put the chip in and drive. I mean will the chip VOID the tuning from the Xcal 2 and erase it, or how does this work???
yah thats what I'm thinking too03silverstang said:If you get a tuning chip doesn't it void the warranty?

A conventional chip placed in the service port of the PCM will override whatever tune is in the PCM at the time, whether its the factory tune or one reflashed using an XCal. Personally, I'd rather use the Xcal to clean things up rather than pull the PCM, scrape conformal coating and so on...

If I were you I would order the cams and Xcal from www.modualrpowerhouse.com or another reputable tuner. They will send you the Xcal with the tune for the cams and whatever mods you have. Then just install the cams and Xcal tune at the same time.
east_sidaz40 said:so I will tell them all the mods i've done to my car plus the cams i wanna instal. and they will send the Xcal 2 with that custom tune for the cams and all my mods. and i will put that tune in my car and thats it??
what about the factory tune that comes with the Xcal 2 , what do i do with it?? thats where I'm confused.I mean I'll just instal the tune they will send me and THATS it? i wont advance the timing or use the other options in the Xcal 2 ??
sorry for making it so complicated
