RE: Dynotune?
Major engine work (change in compression ratio), head work, cam change, switching to forced induction... other things like that. You will not need a re-tune even with full bolt-ons.

RE: Dynotune?
Thanks for the info!...just wondering tho...Would I gain any +HP from a tune, even if it wasnt necessary? In other words, would it be worth the money per HP at this point?

RE: Dynotune?
Im no expert on this subject, but just some quick feedback from what I know.
Unless you have F/I or a crap load of mods, you are only going to see maybe 4-5 hp gain from a dyno tune. In other words not worth the money at all at this point.
Cars that have F/I that get a dyno, from what Ive read, gain like 10-14 hp from the tune, but that is also because they NEED it.

RE: Dynotune?
Im paying 550$ and then after that its 250$ for any retunes as my mods increase. Also Im not shure but I have been told to expect alot from a Dyno tune from the guys Im going to. I will be tuned in on Saturday so I will post up my numbers after.
My car: 1997 mustang gt 5spd
mods:
Cut air box w/k&n
Accufab 75mm t-body
Professional products plenum (ported even more by me)
Mac ceramic long tubes
Dr. gas offroad X
Full mandrel system w/flowmaster 40's
king cobra clutch
MGW shifter
I hope it makes a difference, because I dont have any cat's the car is running like poop. So I am tunning, my car is like yours, but it will probly gain more from the tune because it is a 97' and the 98' had more power because of the computer. So I have a bit more room for improvement to catch up.
