XCAL1 now obsolete

[Bluepower]

Dear AFF member,

You will have been reading over the past 16 months some speculation about the future of the XCAL1 Ford flash tuner.

The Ford XCAL1 has enjoyed support for the past 5 years and has been instrumental in bringing the Ford fight right up to the GMH product, with outstanding results from all Australian vehicles supported.

I can honsestly say that at Bluepower Racing developments, we have been gobsmacked at the sheer level of support shown by the Australian SCT dealer in Herrod Motorsport. Their efforts in maintaining a dealer database that concentrates on keeping the product and people using the product at the cutting edge, so that you, the ford buying public can enjoy products the way they were meant to be enjoyed is nothing short of exceptional, and above and beyond the call.

Now, a good thing has come to an end, the little legendary black box that helped us deliver the 11sec NA Boss and the first 10 sec Boss is to be retired.

The XCAL1 will still work on vehicles, but the dealers will be unable to access them and burn any changes.

This is due to the pressing need for the ZF6spd auto software, and SCT's inability to provide the time to do both, so it is a natural progression that support for the product will cease to be.

However, there will be a changeover period where an XCAL1 owner can upgrade their workable, non vin locked XCAL1 to an XCAL3 and recieve a $200 payment from Herrod motorsport for a strictly limited period only.

Now we have an oppurtunity for people that have XCAL1's that are up to 5 years old to UPGRADE and recieve a product that is current both in warranty and technology.

Great to see Herrods putting our case forward to SCT, and great to see the chaps at SCT approving such a move.

For any queries/questions, please feel free to call 03 9305 3000
