Innovative custom tune XCAL2
New SCT XCAL 2 with innovative custom tune on the way.Larry over @ Discount Power Parts hooked me up and gave me a SMOKIN deal.Last week I ordered a tuner and MBRP 4" exaust. Exaust got here super fast but still waiting on the SCT I was told it would take a couple of days for the tune to be programed so expecting early to mid next week.Today Im going to put the exaust on so when the tuner gets here this week Ill be ready to play.From what I understand innovative diesel just started working with the SCT so I really cant wait to see what thier doing with these tuners.Iwill give reviews after it gets here.Hope this takes care of that anchor feeling my truck has.

you know what your next mod is? Gauges! you better have gauges before you run anything more than the tow (smallest) program on that tuner. you dont want to go out and drag race your buddies on the extreme program and melt an engine.

the Zoodad has to help. the way i did mine, there is a straight shot to the filter from the grile. if you look at the right angle, you can even see white filter element from outside. of course it is at an upward angle, to deflect away water.

The Xcalibrator2 is a nice setup, my dad has one for his 6.0 that we got from innovative. He just got 3 tunes, tow, econo, and 100hp. He really likes the tow tune, it made a nice difference pulling his 5th wheel. He puts the 100hp in every now and then and runs around hot rodding like a highschool kid. Best of all though, it reads and clears codes on my 7.3 also.

Well got the exaust on testerday before the game.I like the sound it sounds more like a truck.Now I think its time to deceide on which intake to go with this setup.I know most of you on the board go for the kwik filter I just dont know if I like th Idea of it just sitting under hood.Knowing its under there bouncing around just dont seem right.Has anybody had problems with the kwik filter coming loose from excess movement?

Well the tuner came in early today so had alittle time to play.Of course I had to go staight for the extreme tune.1st thought man it sounds quieter at idle. went for a drive and when I punched it for the first time i watched the boost expecting maybe 22 or 23 my jaw dropped when it hit 27. But the bigger kick was when it hit 15 it was like the after burners kicked in. The temps never got over about 750 even under WOT.Of course I still need to see what this does to the mpg (or is that gpm?)and also pulling the trailer.

Cannt really say how it stands up to a tipton chip cause I havnt run one.I do know that since running the truck yesterday Ive had perma grin since nailing the throttle to the floor, and kwik Im game for the dyno will look into it this week. Gotta give Props to diesel innovations for a great job on that tune.Today Im goig to try the street tune and see how it is.
