the xcal 2 just was released like a few weeks ago its alot better than the xcal 1 cause it has the datalogger in it, and the xcal 1 dosent. i just have a chip they all do the same things but you have the datalogger. we will all get the same gains in hp and tq if we all have the same mods, thats a verry wise choice of a purchase, who did you buy it from???

I was hoping for 12hp to 15hp gain with the headers but actually saw no gains at all. I've done a few mods to my car but I was really hoping for something out of the headers. That's why I posted this, hoping that someone who knows can honestly tell me that a reflash will matter (or not  ).
You should definitely see those type of numbers from the headers & y-pipe. The problem is you did not use the same dyno as your 1st dyno for comparison. The only way to document accurate increases is to use the same dyno and preferbly the same operator as well. Even then results could still vary but will be the best you can do.

The xcalibrator 2 is like a "lite" tuner.
It allows you to make very minor changes using the stock program as a base. It does not allow for major changes or give any real access to the PCM code. Think of it as a tuner for the typical bolt ons.
Don't get me wrong there definitely is nothing bad about that. It's quite a powerful tool for the $400 price range. It is much better then the MAF hacking devices like the S-AFC, E-manage, MAFterburner, etc. Just don't think it will give you full access to the tuning ability of the PCM.

I'm guessing that the Tweecer is the only way to acsess the PCM code. What are the advantages of that tuner over others? It seems to remind me of the LS1 Edit and HPTuner that the Chevy guys use.

so its a decent option for anyone looking to optimize standard options like intake, headers, exh, etc.? basically for people not looking to the nth degree of tuning capability?
