Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 23y 8m 26d Posted 19/01/06 11:19 PM Posted 19/01/06 11:19 PM The 'new product' the Xcal2 is programmed by exactly the same software as the existing CAPA Ford Flasher (Xcal1). Therefore its tuning capabilities will remain identical as will the power gains. This product wont be offered for Australian Falcons till close to the end of the year, and then it will only be to standardise hardware with the CAPA Expensive Daewoo Flasher.

Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 23y 8m 26d Posted 19/01/06 11:25 PM Posted 19/01/06 11:25 PM (edited) Yes Xcal2 is capable of logging to a laptop using the CAPA Livelink software. The only advantage of this would be to a genuine enthusiast that can interpret the data the laptop is supplying. All of the tuners already have this access to this function (logging) which is most important when initially tuning the car, rather than looking at the data retrospectively, so once more the difference isnt large Edited 19/01/06 11:26 PM by Street Tuner
