the live wire is the basically the same program as the xcal2 but with all the bells and whistles. you dont need to be blown or boosted to run it, but it has the options you need to run it. it comes designed from SCT for your car, and has options ranging from small user adjustments like idle and tcs or top speed govenor
to what CAI youre running, from 87 to 93 oct tunes to even any boost if you have it. I put it on my stock 06 automatic
stang before anything else, and it doesnt turn into a firebreathing v8 eater, but it really does give you the power and performance you need to start off if youre looking into other performance upgrades. You can even go in and modify your "pids" which are your monitors windows, ranging from engine temp to rpms and speed. The livewire also allows you to run an estimated 0-60, 1/4 mi, and peak HP/tq. You can also customize the monitors led lights, such as turning your(orange) shift light on or off and your (blue) power button on or off. Tuning is a breeze, and i have had no problems what so ever if i ever have to return to stock for reprogramming(like if you want to keep warranty and it needs work done at the dealership, just "return to stock.") The factory tune is nice, but i recomend something more extreme, from bama chips for example. I kinda ordered my programmer on my heels of not knowing what I was getting into, but blew the money anyways and I havent lookd back since. hope this is help to some of your previous questions.
