Finally did it!

I ordered my sct xcal2 and ultralite2s today, I am sooo ready for this to get to my house!
What are your suggestions on tunes i sohuld get, i tow a 8k+ trailor and some smaller ones, i will be getting a 5th wheel camper soon.And other than that i want to go FAST! without killin it too quickly! But i guess if it breaks thats just an excuse for me to upgrade

the tunes i am thinking are heavy tow,xtreme street and xtreme race

Thanks jeremy and matt@lipd

Give me a call at the number listed in my signature when the Xcal2 shows up; I'll walk you through how to extract the calibration number from your truck and get your files emailed out.

I've got the Quadzilla Xzillaraider race chip (which im sure isn't near the performance level of what your SCT will be). I have only had it on the high setting a couple of times, and it down right scary fast. I bet your new toy will be very impressive.

I just got the Xzillaraider and can't get any of the plugs to fit in my '07. Can anyone help out?

I got my SCT from LIPD too, matt is awesome. I have a tow,agressive street and dynomax w/ converter lock.
get cold start on the lower tunes if you live in a cold climate like me, you may have to make some small adjustments the first few times you try it out, just call matt and try to explain the exact issue and he will taylor it to your driving habits and the way you like it to shift..

awesome and nasty, you will need a set of tires and expect to burn and I mena burn the tires throught the first tank untill you get used to driving it!!
mine will spin over 50-60MPH if you are not in 4x4 and on dry tar.. seriously nasty power!! 4x4 launch is the only way to hook up.. i was messing w/ a few guys on the highway the other night. the roll on from 60-100mph is awesome and very cool to smoke cars- they just look over and must wonder if there is something wrong w/ their car when a truck that is twice as long and 3 times it's weight pulls them, even w/ my trailer i was taking some cars and trucks on hills. no more hunting trans either.. very reaonable, less cost than some other tuners i talked w/ and they gave me a discout for being an FTE supporter..
