I would say Closer to $750 as a good starting point as a cost to the reseller.

To give you an idea I can buy speaker cable that sells in retail outlets for between $4.95mt to $5.95mt which I pay $1.20 a mt but I have to buy in 100mt rolls.

So at $750 + 50 to 60% mark up is not that unreasonable considering the initial outlay,

But then as a consumer we always like to pay less.

Mate, you are WAY off the mark..

The $$ the tuner pays is too much for the box.. CAPA/SCT are the ones making the money on the units, not the tuners..

Why am I way off the mark?

What I wrote was that the reseller being Joe Blogs Performance has to pay lets say $750 per unit, and then he needs to make a profit of at leat 40% up to 65% on the outlay of $750 to cover costs if he has a shop front.

The Distributor is the one that’s making a large mark up on his cost about $300AUS give or take $25AUS but they have to pay for the R&D , warranty , advertising , wages and that ever else. But at least 100 % mark up.

Now that Excalibur 2 is replacing Excalibur 1 in the US,

Will the distributor do a buy back if you up grade like what’s happing in the US?

I'm pretty happy with the standard 8 psi tune - equal driveability to the Ford tune.

ZMAN has come up with the $ for the 2nd unit.

DCVIN is looking for someone to go halves (sorry mate feel bad that you found the deal and I jumped ship with the first person that came up with the $), Interested members are:

Gavin K,

tur

troughlolly and

NOS XR

There's bound to be some matches there.

Should still be 6 left. Suggest you get together and snaffle them. Daniel at Chipmaster will take direct deposit and looking at the interest here I don't think there's much risk in getting 2 as you'll always offload the other 1.

A big thanks to Mark for persuading me to purchase the capa edit. He came over tonite and we plugged her in with the 10psi generic tune and took her for a spin...and oh my god what a difference, from about 3000 revs she just hammers.

Instant 13 1/2 second car - just add edit. Your car hammered with that tune mate. Momentarily made me wish I had an auto again but I'm sure I'll get over it once I get a tank of 98 RON and upload the 10psi map.

Can't wait for Motorplex to reopen in September - might even have a custom tune by then....

[markxr6t]

I know we sound like kids with our new edit toys over here in the West and I know that custom tunes give far better results, but I can't believe the bang for my bucks I just got for $850!!!

Many thanks to DCVIN for finding the deal!

Well done guys! Can't wait to get mine hehehe

Will the edit work on the Mark 3 xr6 turbo 6 speed auto??? Or will Ford do something to stuff it up for the Flasher Units?
