Call TP, get the sheets emailed to you, fill them out, sit back and wait! The times are slightly elongated right now since we just had a group buy last month, but it should be more than 20 BUSINESS days or so on average

You can’t go wrong with a custom tuned Troyer Performance XCal2 IMO. You’ll get three custom tunes specifically done to fit your needs and gas supply in your area and the customer service is excellent, second to none

You're comparing two different units in the hypertech and xcal2. Xcal2's are custom tunes, whereas the hypertechs are simply a way to slightly modify certain parameters. Call TP and talk to mike and you'll get a better understanding.

That 300hp is rated at the flywheel. You’ll only have about 240hp at best to the rear wheels and that at approximately 5250 rpm, which can’t even happen stock because of the rev-limiter. It’s set at 4900-rpm with stock tuning

You need to call Troyer Performance because f150.online members get a discount on the XCal2. Tell them you’re a member and give them your screen name (hemislayer) and you’ll get a nice discount. Plus you’ll need to talk to them directly so they can question you on exactly what you want and what you’re expectations are. Call, you’ll enjoy the conversation because they are great people that really know their stuff

I don’t think the wait time is a few months, it more like two to three weeks

Just call Troyer. Easier than waiting around for someone to post.

Hello again there, HemiSlayer!

As I have been saying in about 6 different posts today (I think just timing-wise, it's turned out so that I've been following your posts here today! ) - pricing cannot be discussed here on the boards - so you will need to CALL us for that info. It won't be discussed here.

Just rest assured that as a registered member here, you get the lowest possible price on the best F-150 tuning in the world, and you'll be glad you did it - we guarantee it - and you'll also get it significantly quicker than some others have in the past month, as we're now able to crank them out much quicker so you can get the best custom tuning in a reasonable amount of time. I hope that info helps!
