Well I don't want to say its the best but I know plenty of guys with 4.2s and 3.8 stangs that go with the Xcal2 or Xcal3. I've got a 3 myself and its worked flawlessly. As for getting tunes these are the top three that I can think of..in no particular order.

www.troyerperformance.com
www.vmptuning.com
www.powerhungryperformance.com (although iirc the v6s are a custom tune from php.)

It's garbage!!

If you really want to increase the performance of your 4.2L than do it right and spend the money on a custom tuned Xcal3 from a reputable tuner like VMP Tuning.

i have a xcal 2 for sale, you could send it to troyer or vmp and have it tuned for your specific specifications.
