Saw this on Crutchfield.com and wonder how well this works. Not in the market for it, just thought it looked pretty cool. 799 bucks though!

That looks awesome but 800 bucks I know what I want for christmas now.

 

it looks like a scangauge and an xcal2 crammed into one.

 

ive seen something like that and they are pretty awsome!

 

Dunno about that one, I do know that Troyer Performance stands behind their gear and will make something right if it's not. Just food for thought.

 

that was at sema

 

and...?

 

I have the Xcal2 at the moment and I don't have it installed because the shifting was way to firm for my taste, so I was really thinking about selling it and getting one of these. I am not even sure if they are actually out yet. I think this one would be pretty coll because not only does it have all of the features that the Gtech mini dyno, it has programming on the fly. That would be sweet to be able to just change your programming while you were rollin. Sometime I like to haul ace and sometimes I just like to chill. This would make it a lot nicer than having to turn off your truck, plug in the programmer, wait 5 minutes, turn it back on, run around the truck 5 times, etc... I think I'm going to do it! Here is a pic of my interior with my iPod in the Kuda mount and my phone in the Bracketron. I am going to move the iPod to the Bracketron and put the Hyperpac on the Kuda base. I guess the phone is on its own:


Anyone want an Xcal2?

 

Can't you just get Mike to soften up the shifts for you???

 

I was thinking about that, but I got my Xcal2 from a local dealer. I probably could have him or Mike get me some new tunes, but I don't like not being able to change it on the fly. I mean almost all of the programmers for the diesels either have switches(Banks) or screens (Edge). I think our trucks should have that option as well. The whole dyno thing kinda interested me too.

 

Damn that things awesome, i wish i hadnt bought a tuner already, i knew i shoulda waited on hypertech, theyve been doing some awesome stuff.
