Ok from reading these forums, my impression of what a "canned" tune is - a tune for your stock car that came with the tuner. Is this correct? If so, I got an XCal II used, so it doesn't have the "canned" tunes on it. I'm waiting for an intake, but it could be a while. How would I go about getting a "canned" SCT XCal 2 tune for my stock car? I'm only interested if it is free, I'm a cheap ass like that ! My car has computer code DUR3.

Actually a "canned tune" is any tune that you get that wasn't custom made for your car. It isn't just for stock cars, there are even supercharger "canned" tunes.

hmm. not sure how XCAL's work but Diablo includes 87, 91, and 93 perf tunes with their basic program/firmware which you can update from their website. it even has specialty tunes if you own a JLT or C&L intake. still not as good as a custom i'm sure but i've been running my 91 canned tune for over a year now and its been good to me so its def. better than stock.

If you want a custom tune - you have to go to a dyno and get a technician to do it for you so yes, you will be getting a canned tun w/ the XCAL2 stuff
Actually that is a common misconception. The different tunes types are:
"canned tunes" - these come loaded onto your handehld tuner from the factory.
"custom tunes" - these are offered by tuners like Brenspeed, Evolution, VMP, AA, etc. You tell them the mods/options you have for your car, and they load the tuner with their customized tunes (they will sometimes email them to you, for a fee)
"dyno tunes" - just like the name implies. They're done on a dyno while monitoring A/F ratios and other variables.
