I bought an Xcal2 on ebay. Where should I get a tune from? I'd like to simply get one emailed that I can upload instead of mailing off the tuner. I haven't installed any mods, but I'm getting the steeda CAI and inlet pipe and 4.10 gears.

Brenspeed or Bamachips. I have them both.

I honestly cannot tell you that I prefer one ofer the other. Brenspeed's tune and Bama's race tune are very close but feel slightly different. If anything, I'd give the nod to the Bama tune from 2500 to 3000 but after that, the both pull like hell.

There are others but I am giving you comments based on owning these two.

You should be ok. If he had an 07, then the tunes may not be compatible because the 07 ECU's stock programming is different.

As mentioned above Bren or Bama. I have had great service from Brenspeed FWIW.

I currently have Brenspeed, but I just order a tune from Doug. So I will have them both! I am going to try Doug's tune tomorrow. Nothing wrong with Brenspeed, his tune is awesome. Just wanted to see what everyone else has been talking about.
