Ok, here's where I'm confused. . .
I know that if I buy the Steeda CAI and the Tuner combo from American Muscle they will work together since it has preloads for the specific CAI. But If I say add a BBK 65mm Throttle Body and then Flowmasters do I have to get a new Tune to optomize my performance????? And if I do need a new tune for my new parts, will I have to pay for it or do I just download it from the net?????????

I received my Gt 6months ago and got on this forum to inquire the same info. well I got some alright, the more I read the replies the more I got confused. I finally opted for the BAMACHIPS package and I am very giddy about the choice...
However, I live in a very small area with only about 6 GT's I know about and I don't know any of them personally to compare notes..
this to say, It would be nice to have some info on a non biased professional comparison platform of these products....
I've looked it up on "fast Mustang Mag" and the other one I can't remember the name of....
I'll add one last thing, GEARS!!! .....dangerously too much fun! and to the girly men who say the 4.10s are TOO low and hard to control for the AUTO"S, take off those ridged soled footwears and learn to feather the pedal a bit with something smooth just like the females likes it.....I can have my car behave exactly the same way It did before the gear swap.....except in one way, that cloud of dust I kick up in your face if I decide to !!!....."OD" is the key...
RPM..1700@ 60mph before swap
RPM..2000@60 after...
No big whoop..
Aloha,

the different tuners will not produce any different hp/tq numbers versus the other given the same tune. what is important is who actually does the tune. the best would be a custom dyno tune but if that doesnt interest you then get a custom tune from Brenspeed or Bamachips. I would recommend getting a CAI, particularly JLT or C&L with the tuner in order to get more power out of your car.

The mustang shop I go to told me this. " Buy the Diablo because it retains the stock settings. We have had bad luck with the SCT because they some how leave clues to the ford techs that the computer has been tampered with." I really trust what they are saying cause they been in buisness for a very long time, but the choice is yours of course. I havent fully researched it either.
