So after I call up the Bama guys I can get a Racing 93 octane tune and 93 economy? (with a live tuner to switch on the fly?)

Will I be able to switch out the cam and crankshaft on my V6?
and if so will I be able to put a turbo on with those 2 and not have my baby blow up?

Brenspeed and AM offer most of the mods you are looking for. The tune is loaded from the SCT device into your cars pcm. The SCT holds 3 after market tunes and your stock tune. If you get a new cam, you will then need a new tune for that cam.

Having a proper tune is everything.

I would put a 5.0 crate motor in the car rather than supercharge it.

well if Im not ripping and going Ill drive her right and save a little ha, and I dont know why I ll need more than the 93 raceing tune, but the tuners come with several tunes and I was just throwing that out there

If I get a new cam and I need that new tune, can I use my same handheld tuner and just get a different tune or do I need to dyno it then?

and if will I need a new tune if I change out the crankshaft?

CAI without a tune equals $$ thrown out the window.

Depends on the tune you go with. If you get a tune from AM, they offer tunes for life (sent by email, programmed using your same handheld tuner). If you get a dyno tune, yes you will need to take it back in.

I think this is an untrue statement. I have beaten plenty of 5.0 at the track. Sure they have great power from the factory. It's also 400 at the flywheel so I'm putting down 450 to the wheel there getting about 360 to 375. Great cars (5.0) but the 4.6 supercharged motor is a hard one to beAt. But of course u slap on a FI on that 5.0 and ur making some incredible power.
