    You mean xcal3... or the livewire? I don't see any mention of an xcal3 on sctflash.com.

    XCAL 3

    The X3 is the next generation of our handheld flash device, with increased memory, a larger screen, and most importantly it gives us a stable robust platform to add continued support for new PCM types as they are released from Ford, (and a platform to add future GM CAN support).

    Basicly cheaper live wire, or an xcal2 with more memory and a few more functions.

    so its just little features that aren't really necessary.....doesn't actually increase your tuning capabilities? What's the price difference?

    Did you go to the linky?

    The SCT X3 has both end user adjustment and high speed data logging capability. Using the keypad, you can make changes to your timing, fueling, fuel injector size, and dozens of other parameters. You can also monitor and data log all critical parameters by both connecting the X3 to your PC and using the SCT Live Link software, or by using the built-in LCD display.
    Sounds like it is a bit more user friendly and easy to use then the Xcal2, does things you would need a laptop for on the Xcal2. Sounds pretty sweet to me

    you guys need to check out sniper tuning. there program allows you to tune your own vhicle and download new tunes into your vehicle. it also data logs and creates a base tune as well. their system even allows for 2 vehicle tuning as well as dual power adder tuning. in my opinion this programing is way better than super chips comericalized tuning stuff that you pay way to much money for.

    Most people would rather just have the best tuner available which is why they go with warmonger and the x-cal.

    Fo sho! Tinkering with your engine on the fly is a sure fire way to roast a new install.

    No way I would attempt to dial in a 3L without a base or performance tune from Warmonger.
