Does the website/location where I buy a tuner affect the tunes that it has on it?.....
I stay right down the street from a authorized SCT dealer... should I buy the tuner from one of MM.net vendors or get it from the SCT store?.... will the same tunes b on it?.....

as you all might b able to tell I dont know the first thing about this issue, all help is appreciated

The vendors here have real good marauder specific tunes on theirs. I think the marauder tune from SCT is kinda basic.

contact Lidio or Reinhart for the tuner and tune. You won't regret it.

If your local SCT dealer also has a dyno then buy it from him.

Otherwise I'd recommend: Blueovalchips.com and Dennis Reinhart

Currently, Lidio of Alternative Automotive is the only Supporting Vendor that is a tuner. Supporting Vendor Wes Chain of Innovative Interceptors is a retailer for Lidio's SCT tune and handheld tuner.

the tuner on the "AA" site is the xcal 2....
would i be stupid to buy the xcal 2 when the xcal 3 is available?....

Call and talk to Lidio. He won't steer you wrong and is very, very knowledgeable. Its not so much the generation of tuner, but rather the guy that wrote the tune that matters. A dyno tune is preferable to a off the shelf. However, the Marauder is not a Mustang and can not be tuned as one. If a tuner tells you it can be, he's FOS, run, don't walk out of that shop.
