    I just wanted to share my thoughts on the JLT2/XCAL2 setup that I just received from Evolution Performance. First off, the service was exceptional. I made the order with Fred and the stuff was on my doorstep in a couple of days.

    The JLT2 isn’t the most impressive thing to look at, but it is solid and well constructed and the directions were good. Taking my time, and with deliberate care, it took me all of 20 minutes to install. Probably the easiest mod I can remember doing on any car or truck, and I have been doing this kind of stuff for quite a while. The reflash took 5 minutes and I was done! (I went the conservative route and used the 87 octane tune)

    Now for the test-drive. At first I really didn’t notice much change, but after I backed out of the driveway and started moving I noticed a vastly improved throttle response. I drove normally until I got to the highway on ramp and it was on! As I gunned it, the rear end wanted to get away a little from me, so I had to back off a little. But I hit it again and it was screaming. I was doing 120 before I could blink. The JLT2/XCAL2 setup has turned my Mustang into a different animal. The best analogy is…well…it feels as if it was just injected with adrenaline. This mod was worth every penny of the $525 I spent. I would highly recommend the JLT2/XCAL2 setup and Fred’s tune and service to anyone out there.

    As for the exhaust note: there was definitely a change in the exhaust note; maybe a little deeper and more pronounced. I have a stock exhaust for now, but my new Corsa Exhaust set-up is on the way. I will report my findings after I receive and install it.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I've been researching this setup for the past couple of weeks for mine, and I think I'm going to go ahead and place my order. What part of NE Ohio are you from. I live about 7 miles outside of Canton.

    I just finished installing the same thing from Evo performance with the 91 octane setup. Damn this thing is worth every penny! I cannot say enough about the service and product that I received. Highly recommend this setup. Like stated previously it only takes about 20 minutes to install and there is a noticable difference.

    I have the same set up from Evolution Performance. Fred is good to deal with. Although when I installed it I didnt notice anything. I called Fred back and told me to turn headlights on and disconnect battery. It worked. This animall runs. He also told me unless it is raining to keep TCS off. All I can say is WOW. Congratulations on your mods.
