i have had a hand full of n/a and turbo hondas/acuras/mazdas over the past couple years and after major mods you need a tune. im new to the v8 world and its nothing like the 4banger world. intake and exhaust makes a difference for a change! i have a 2004 mach 1 and so far i have a c&l cold air intake, pypes o/r x, and a magnaflow catback. i plan on buying sniper special forces very soon...do you guys suggest i get a full on tune or would tweaking on my own get it done? im kinda leaning towards getting a tune but it seems wierd to me with just minor bolt-ons..but then i read about how much the cai and exhuast effect the stock tune so im confused...any input would be greatly appreciated...sorry for the noob question!

Get a dyno tune. You will not regret it.

Any canned tune from Brenspeed or BAMA will work nicely too. So CAI and tune and new rear gear! FTW

I'm not sure a tune makes a big difference in new edge stangs. Since you posted in the S197 section everyone here will tell you to get a tune it makes a night and day difference. Post this in the correct section and you'll get better help.

well unlike the s197 guys we dont NEED a tune after every mod but it is a good idea to get one. you dont have that many mods, you could probably do the basics yourself with the sniper if you feel comfortable doing it.

it will only help you, im waiting on my tuner to show up as we speak... even preloaded tunes can make a noticeable difference, thats experience with an s197 though

thanks guys i had no idea i had posted in the wrong forum...hopefully i can get this all figured out...these canned tunes...arent they just like a base map? how can they be good when someone htat hasw never sen your set-up made them? i know you can put in perameters for certaint mods but the only real way to get it right is to get a tune. im not saying any of you guys are wrong...i just wanna learn
