Where to start with bolt-ons...

With the 24 lb/h injectors you will definitely have to retune. I have no idea whether a DiabloSport handheld supports this--I suspect not...

Do not forget that the factory tune is a compromise between power and emissions. An aftermarket tune will liven up the engine with a minor increase in timing and have the injectors working more efficient within their duty cycle.
When you start adding power adders (SC or turbo), you will need lots more fuel. That is when you get to go have your vehicle dyno-tuned for maximum horsepower (which is the mistake most people make). Power adders need lots more fuel to make their power, so it is not unusual to see a SC engine running 82Lb injectors.
If you are looking for a little more hp, sure change your injectors up one step and put a tune on the engine. You will like the results.

I asked because it was kinda unclearn to me in the original post, now its makes sense, i knew it, just wasn't sure on this duty cycle thingy. I had a turboed car, but its was different than a mustang. I was doing all tuning my self because the ECU let me do that. Fuel trims, Combined trims at closed and open loops, fuel graphs and many more, but i guess with ford its all much simplier, just go to a dyno, pay 500$ and tune it

Most people are just happy enough with the pre-loaded tunes, while others will go to a dyno setup and get a custom tune. It all depends on what you want.

Www.allfords.com and forums.corral.net/forums both have excellent write-ups on how some people set up their own suspension.

My mother told the story of three elderly women sitting in rockers at a nursing home. They were talking about their lives and the first stated she had been raised in a proper family, gone to the finest boarding schools, married a prominent doctor and lived a life of ease. The second woman said "Oh how wonderful!", the third said "That's fantastic!"
The second woman then said that she was the daughter of a tycoon, went to the finest schools in Europe, married a count and never wanted for anything. The first woman said "Oh you were so blessed!", the third woman said "That's fantastic!"
The first two turned to the third and asked about her life. She said that she lived with her grandmother after her father was killed and her mother ran off, that they were dirt poor and she only went as far as sixth grade in public school--and that her grandmother taught her to say "Fantastic!" instead of "bullshėt"...
