I bought mine at V8power.com last month for $349 -- they had a special going. I provide them with my computer code & modifications and they setup Xcal2 with 3 custom settings -- 87 octane, 91 octane, 93 octane --- no extra charge. You just load and go. Shop around since some charge extra for each custom setting.05mustang said:

If you got a tuner for the 05 Mustang there should be three tunes in there for stock applications. Otherwise you can look at http://www.sctflash.com/main.php and/or contact them.cccole said:

You'd have to get help from the mod manufacturer. Like ProCharger, etc. Or know a tuner, or somebody with the tuners software and the tune you need, or at least know the values you need. You still need your own tuner though as those are car specific. SCT does not really deal with the customer rather with their professional tuners that sell their product... not for free... Sorry if I was unclear earlier! Many like to see imediate resoults and pretty much pay for the dyno time and get the tunes... or the other way around...2k5stang said:

I felt I should be a bit more specific... When you buy a tuner you chose who's tune you're going to use! I'm sure Steeda, C&L, JLT, etc. have great tunes, prolly custom made by SCT for their units...
But then what? What if they don't have a tune for your aplication after you add mods...?? that's when you need a tuner... that's why you should buy your tuner from a professional tuner!! Sure you can get the tuner with the three stock tunes for $375 some places, why is it $400 from tuning shops? Because they know they'll owe you, they'll take care of you! It's part of the deal!
Then you call with your Steeda provided or $375 tuner and want a free tune... guess what, it's 100 bucks! So think twice before buying your tuner! I bought my CAI and brought it to my tuner, bought my tuner INCLUDING his services and +100 tunes later I'm happy as can be!
For you who allready have a tuner maybe the $100 would be worth it to build a relationship and be taken care of after future mods... that's what I was thinking about when I talk about 'free tunes' and the tuner have acces to SCT's tunes, and 'tuning ideas' through STC from other tuners...

I got hooked up with a SCT tuner from a friend that sold his mustang. I was able to get the local SCT place to unlock it and delete the software on it so it can be used again. I was hoping to see if anyone has any of the stock tunes for the 2007 GT. The car has no mods and the SCT place here wants me to have them put it on the dyno and tune it on the dyno and after I pay for that I can pay for the tunes on top of that. It would end up being more expensive for them to do that than it would be to just buy a new tuner pre loaded. Can anyone help me out?
Haha I just realized I revived a 5 year old thread.... Sorry! :bigthumbsup

Its not funny for you, but I had to laugh at this comment.
Guys will run around try to save a buck by buying used stuff that they themselves cant do anything with, then go to someone that makes a living selling the stuff and want cheap or even free help (in this case tunes).
There are a few things you can save money on and still be ok, generally anything that can be "custom configured" like a tuner isn't one of them.
