i'm not sure how you change any of the settings? or does a sct tuner have to do it? the xcal2 doesnt let you change anything once the program is downloaded

From the SCT website: Quote:
The XCalibrator 2 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 XCalibrator 2 to your PC and using the SCT Live Link software, or by using the built-in LCD display.

Dude no need to get defensive. From what I read no one was attacking you, only looking for data. For some of us, butt dyno and 'WOW' isn't data. So in a way since you brought it up, you do have to prove your claims.
It does not even seem that anyone is doubting his tuning capabalities. I've seen dyno's somewhere for Wayne's work on the SVTF and it's impressive, but that is a different car. For the contours we just want hard data and to see it's safe. Hell you can dump a few bottles of toulene in a gas tank and see a good increase on the butt dyno, but that doesn't mean it's safe.
Theres a good chance all this maybe for nothing and his tunes are perfectly safe power raisers.
Part of it is also your choice of words, stuff like this:

doesn't help you get your point across. I am not a dealer or tuner, but give me a wideband 02, the SCT software with road to fly up and down on and I can tune my cars better then a mail order tune.
Hell, I was going to keep my SVTC stock, but seeing your reviews of his tune I started changing my mind. Give me a dyno and if proves your butt dyno then the deal is sealed that I have to cough up a few hundred more.
If you even think about, put a stock vs tuned dyno out there for all to see will help even more to boost sales. Just make it customers cars because tuners tend to run a little more to get numbers up.
Now I'm off to go find those dynos for ADC. Why can't I keep a car stock

Untill we get a dyno of the two tunes this conversation is pointless
Even without a dyno, .7 of a second in the 1/4 mile is verifiable proof, which Ryan has and he has repeated several times. He lauches the same, he shifts the same, the only change was the tune. That not enough for you guys?

Are you running a wideband to make sure the tune speaks for itself?
The average A/F on any car I tune is at 14.2 at cruise, and at WOT it wavers between 12.1-12.5.
I DO have 2 different AF meters, an LM-1 and an AFM-1. Any more questions?

Ryan's car has gained power. I'll admit his times are faster but he can hold his car in gear much longer than a stock CSVT because of his raised redline. Most of the guys are not in the South to see him and would rather have dyno numbers than track times.

We will be getting his car on a dyno and many others for that matter, but, bottom line is this:
I have been tuning since 1998. I am no newb at this. I tune agressively, but safely (if that makes sense to you). I will NOT do anything to your cars to cause destruction, PERIOD.
Yes I know Ryan is a bit gung ho about me and my company, but that is his perogative. He does attract attention and drum up business which I, of course, will not complain about.
And also think about this, Ryan has been preaching to you guys about my tuning for almost a year, and most are JUST now starting to notice, because people have driven his car, felt the difference, and are saying "Damn, maybe he wasnt full of crap". Plus a couple of the other members took a chance on the "new kid" and have been happy with their tunes so far.
Dont think bad of me because I am a new kid on the block, or that ADC has been around longer than I have. I know they are a good company, and have done a LOT for the Contour community. I never knock my competition, that is not good business.
All I do is state the obvious, my prices are cheaper, I offer you guys more, and I back up my work unconditionally.
If you buy from me or them, the tuning is with the same product. There are thousands of dealers out there with the SCT software, but, its the TUNER behind the programming inside is what makes the difference.
