Well I will be buying my dad an X cal 3 for his 01L (Christmas) and found LFP to have the best price on the Xcal 3...but ofcourse when it comes to tunes they are VERY important and saving a few bucks isnt worth a blown engine. (I tune my car BTW..so I definatly know how important they are in not only power, but for reliability. check sig for stock shortblock #s)
And I have conviced my mom to buy him a 4# lower (will be from LFP), so I can have them set the tune up for that now. Otherwise its stock besides the soon to be removed boost bypass mod, since a tune will disable it.
Only problem im seeing with LFP is that they dont seem to have a "shop" where they tune Ls, seem just like an online vendor. So im not sure how experienced they are at tuning.
Iv had a bad experiance with that before with an online vendor with claimed XX years experience, but with no real shop to speak of. Canned tune for my GT when it was mild bolton, and my A/F was riding between 14-15 on a local dyno after the tune.
So im not sure how good their tunes are and would like some feedback on what I should do. I would like opinions on the 4# lower, if thats a good idea... and if LFP are good tuners or if I should go elsewhere (like Amazon...seem great, but I didnt see the X cal 3 offered).
I Just dont want to risk my dads engine and want the very best....you guys are the experts and im in your hands. BTW NOTHING has been purchased yet.
thanks
