First and foremost, i would like to thank you for discussing this with me.
I just want to know what i'm getting into with 379 bucks plus tax.:sosad: A couple more questions i have for the SCT X-Cal:
1) Easy to install? *Like i said, i don't know a lot about cars.*
2) Will the jump in Horsepower be noticable... As of right now it's stock with Stereo system and tint the only after market acessory.
3) Burnouts. Now i know it's more for Manual, however, during power braking will i notice more of a chirp. Other than a natural drop that will ruin my trany.
4) For my v6 what tires should i put on it...? Like i said they are stock right now.
5) If i went the SCT XCal route, what other mod (for auto) would be my next best bet. That works well with it. *Like i said, i know little about cars.*
6) Will this in anyway ruin any part of my vehicle, not done by me of course.
7) Will i notice a difference in acell speed?
Once again thanks for helping out a fellow pony owner who couldnt afford the GT. :worship

1) To use the X-Cal2 you simply plug it into your ODB port which is located under the dash just to the left of the steering wheel. You follow the on screen directions to "reflash" your cars computer. It will save your stock program onto the X-Cal2 first. I don't have the instruction handy but I believe they were pretty clear. It takes a couple of minutes.
2) Yes, you will notice a difference immediately. You will definitely notice the extra torque!
3) After reflashing my car I no longer needed to power brake to do a burnout. Just simply stepping on the gas would cause my tire to spin! And if you power brake you can do some pretty impressive burnouts... although it will only be one tire... LOL NEVER EVER DO A NEUTRAL DROP....
4) Not sure on the tire subject...I'm running the stock tires up front... I'm running some big BFGoodrich Radials in the back... all-season stuff... nothing fancy....
5) I would look at some of the intake kits next. I have the MMR intake and solid tube... kind of pricey, looks nice and I did get some performance gains... There are a few other kits out there. The other thing to look at is getting rid of the stock muffler... it is very restrictive. Lot of guys are running the JBA or MAC... I have the Magnaflow single cat back....
6) I sure hope not... LOL! As far as I know these mods are all considered pretty safe...
7) For me it was a night and day difference! The car responded so much better after reflashing it... It was much faster off the line!
