SCT Question
I am not happy with performance or economy. Planning some upgrades on my '04 EX. Seems most readers are sold on SCT. Is there a 3 version out for our application? Is it more expensive? Why? Live in eastern NC only 4or5 hours from Hendersonville.

The Xcal2 and the Xcal3 are essentially the same device, the Xcal3 has more memory for canned tunes (which wouldn't get used anyways) and a better screen with more datalogging capabilities. I do not believe the cost is any different. I used to run an edge and the SCT tunes I have from Spartan are superior in every way. Power, shifting, economy. I've been pretty lucky as my X seems to always been on the high side for mileage but Matt's tunes certainly improved it.
Part of your problem may in fact be related to the AFE Stage 2 setup; I have seen reports that aftermarket intakes effectively screw up the calibration of the mass airflow sensor; resulting in improper boost/fuel maps for the engine.
Regardless; give Matt a call; he'll hook you up with some tunes that will totally change your truck's personality
