Question Xcal Tune File Only Available?

It at least used to be common practice to purchase the SCT Xcal unit and then buy the tune file from a separate vender via email for end-user upload onto the Xcal and subsequent use on the vehicle.

This was nice because it saved on all the back and forth shipping/insurance costs and it allowed the end-user to "tweak" the tune on their PC (although you can basically do that on the XCal 2 itself now).

I have a idle Xcal2 from a former vehicle and am wondering if there are any vendors out there who would provide the tune file only?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks and you're correct Brapple as Joey at Nautillus confirmed they can email tunes only.

Does anyone know whether a relatively stock engine upgrade tune (maybe from 87 octane to 91 or 93 octane) from Nautilus works well "out of the box" or is tweaking usually required?

Thanks again.
