Thumbs up SCT X-Calibrator 2!!!

Just installed my SCT-X2 today w/custom tuning. Spent about 3-4 hours w/the vendor taking live-time data and tweaking the program.

All I can say is WOW! It completely blows away the Diablo Predator I was running. Best part was I scored it for $400 new and out of the box from BamaChips.com and received EXCELLENT customer service.

Can't wait to get the e-fan kit and pullies...

Doug is a great guy to deal with! I have been talking to him about Fords & mods since 2000 (I used to have a '99 Ranger, and was a moderator on the 3.0 Forum on Ranger Power Sports).

We spent a good amount of time this afternoon testing/tweaking/dialing in the tune for my F150. It was a learning experience for me (big-time), and we found out a lot of stuff about the ins & outs of the ECU/tuning on the 5.4L 3V motor today. Can't wait until we can get the truck on a dyno for more info/results/tweaking.....

I noticed a bit of improved throttle response, improve mid-range torque in a big way, and about .5MPG (if I stay out of it...they make an AWESOME exhaust note with the CAT-back Borla!)
