I'm looking into getting an xcal 3 before the dyno day, and was wondering whoever has purchased one with an N/A tune and where'd they recommend? I'm thinking fswerks, but I'm not sure if Tom does duratec tuning or if he's strictly zetec? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Korby

OTH I've had two excellent experiences with Randy at FocusSport (now FSWerks) with my XCal2 - (one for NA and one for FI) and I won't hesitate to use him again.

Got a message from Tom on focus fanatics, he charges 399 plus 20 for shipping, however he offers free updates. For added go-fast parts. I'll have to give Randy a call and see what they offer

As i last spoke to Randy he offers the same free updates, but if you just buy the fswerks turbo kit you'll get the xcal and a tune for free
 
Go with Randy at FSWerks. He'll be tuning my project ride AND my Escape (once I get off my ass and get him some cash).
He also tuned my 07 ZX5 SES I had. He's an outstanding guy.
