For example, adding a RPM limit when it goes for a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna save 700$ then just get VCM yep what he said, if never changing tunes go the VCM and use the $700 you save on something else. Had XCAL on my old BF never changed the tune in 2 years of Owning it. Not once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this has changed. For the new guys it pretty much means sct could change more in the PCM than what vcm could which would give you a more custom result.

I could be wrong, just what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
