Just ordered a flash tuner from CAPA for my XR6T. Very very excited!! Felt like I had to tell someone. Wife doesn't understand!!!

Cheers.

Flash tuner - what separates the boys from men. Women will never understand such things.

Try not to use the generics, cause they arent custom suited to your car and can cause damage.. Wait and get it custom tuned by someone who knows what they're doing, may I suggest a site sponsor.. If you can wait a bit more, get a few bits and pieces like injectors, hiflow cat, cooler etc.. whatever your budget can handle and get it tuned with the extra mods, saving you from a re-tune once you get those bits and pieces later...

Once tuned, hang on.. hehe they respond very well to extra boost and torque, and will feel like a different car, ohhh and try not to smile too much the first time you take it for a spin...

Good suggestion , however if you must run a generic tune at the very least get it on a Dyno and get it checked out.

Should cost you around $50

So. I finally got the XCAL2 and flashed the turbo with the 8psi. MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! Is this legal? It's awesome!!!

However I have a couple of questions if someone can point me in the right direction. I found a couple of threads in regards but not really what I wanted to know. The tuner gives me some other options some of which are wastegate, idle, afr, shift 1-2, then shift 2-3 then shift 3-4. I wanted more info on the shift firmness.

There has been a couple of threads about the shift firmness. However, I founded confusing. I want to be able to adjust it so it doesn't jolt so much when driving at normal speeds. It gives options of minus (-)25 to plus (+)25. Has anyone found a good combo? (I understand all cars different)

Also where can I get more info about making changes with the other options available on the box? I am a car enthusiast not a mechanic. Is it better I just leave the rest alone?

Thanks for your time.
