Smithz, which tune are you running? My x3 from 5 star should be here on Monday, and I'm planning on using the 87 performance tune. Any problems with your setup, and did you notice a good difference? Excited as I am, it still makes me nervous to jack with the computer because of warranty issues. I'm hoping these tunes are completely safe. Thanks!

Im running the 93 performance tune and NO problems!! I pulls harder and shifts better. You will like it. Do the Gots mod also.

I have the X3 in hand, but I'm holding off on installing it for now. All the talk of Ford really cracking down on tuners and voiding warranties has me spooked. I'm going to see where this all goes first before I do something I'll regret (especially with the extended warranty I have....).

6michaud, I have not installed the tuner. I've heard good things from those who have, but I do like the warm, fuzzy feeling I get from my bumper to bumper warranty. I'll probably end up keeping it for a while to see how things go, but I might end up selling it.
