Tuner???

voidfinger · Aug 24, 2007

Hey guys, i saw this tuner on ebay while looking for scal2's and i was wondering has anyone heard about it and what do you guys think... I think it looks like the diablo but it can download tunes off the net like the scal... so what you think?

brand name??

voidfinger · Aug 24, 2007

Granatelli's Fuego? I think you saw it b4 i posted the link

I have heard that name before on other products ( I think they have mass air meters too ) if I were you I would use either Diablo or Sct .....and stay away from cheaper tuning products. Go ahead and spring the extra cash and get the good stuff and have it done right the FIRST time

If I knew more about this company maybe it would be diffrent but since they play second fiddle to the rest........thats where they are BEHIND the rest

Before you buy from them ,I would check out the link below. One of the reps/dealers offered to help this guy and is basically ducking him. They dont have good customer service from people I have talked to.

I thought Granatelli's was a great name??? i've really never heard anything bad against them, but i do understand that most dyno tuners either use the diablo or the sct. So i guess i'll go with the sct... i really would love to have the live wire but i can't aford that now...

Fuego is a rip off of the DIabloSport, which Granetelli used to carry, they basically stole the design and farmed it out to China. I beleive there was even legal action taken.

Do some searches on Granatelli on some other forums. Whew... The shit slinging that occurs. Why not just get the Xcal2? I don't see much benefit in the livewire.

use what ever your tuner is best with.

voidfinger · Aug 26, 2007

don't have a tuner right now. But i like the xcal2 but i like the way the livewire is set up. But i'm probably going to go with the xcal2

Granatelli gets bashed all the time on Modular Depot and he's even a vendor there. His father built the name and the son was a decent racer who took the family name and turned it into a parts dealer who sells shitty Chinese made knockoffs of MM, Diablo etc etc.

If your gonna get an Xcal get it from someone who knows how to tune and has great customer service.

I suggest Don at www.lasotaracing.com as he will help you with any issue you might have. Thats where i bought my Xcal from.

well some of the guys up top said get diablo or sct..and this guy i think has a 97 that started this post..

Shocker98GT · Aug 26, 2007

Diablo and SCT are both very good tuners, SCT is the most supported as far as dealers/tuners. I'd choose based on what the closest reputable shop uses.

Well i'll check on it, from what i heard some people sell the sct one with a custom tune from them with the mods in mind... I'm thinking of doing the pi swap, gears, trans work, mild port on heads maybe, and some cams. Does people sell them with tunes on them ??? who would be the best? that Lasota dude.?
