Any thought on this combo? I was thinking about picking up a Apexi safc for my 3l in my svt. Any thought on tuning with this on the dyno?

with a regular xcal you only get 3 tunes i hear, no adjustability. you need the extreme racer package to adjust it yourself. it seems like alot of money and some guy you dont know tunes a car he's never seen before, unless you pay for hours of dyno time. it seems expensive. i'm going to see about getting a PRP so i can do everything myself, just like the schmuck tunes yours on the dyno. SAFC is maf trickery, but it works well enough for bolt on's and such. my friends with imports have had good results until you start getting into dry nitrous, or boost. then you need the good stuff.

Wow, you have no idea what your talking about!
There is plenty of info here about the xcal, I dont feel like rehashing it all.

Coming from someone with the PRP and Xcal2...the SAFC is fine for hack tuning import BS, but not for our cars. If enough people would be interested Derek, Stazi, or I could help u with your tuning. Just get enough money together for one of us to get our dealer license so we can have access to all the PCM codes.
BTW what is yoru code?! Dale Kortes has a 98.5 SVT with PRP and if your code is the same as his I could give you a decent base tune.
