Hey me too 8)

I never had an interest in tuning it myself really. There are too many things that I'm not experienced with. And I'd rather just leave it to the professionals :lol:

DB could probably make you a tune but it's only good for one car per XCal

XCal2/3 is way better than a basic Chip though, at least for my application.

I don't think I'd be tuning the wife's car at all anyway. At least until we get her that turbo she wants...

I just wanted to be able to learn some stuff on the tuning side of things, but I don't think that's worth another $400 to me right now. When it comes time, I'll probably either get a TwEECer RT or a megasquirt for the XR and just dive in. At least that's not a daily driver and I don't need to worry about it that much.
