I could feel a lot of throttle response. I later used the tuner to get the car tuned on the dyno. I got about a 15RWHP gain once it was tuned on the dyno...

03SonicGT, i believe sonic blue is about the best color mustang... good choice!

Lets not forget other things the tuner can do.. A/F ratios, traction control overide, rev limiter, speedo adjustment.. and on and on.

No, you cannot tune your car with his tuner. All the tuners are programmed to only tune one car. The software in the tuner won't allow it. I think you can do all the stuff that isn;t a tune though with it.

Strange that people sell their used tuners with no troubles.

You can tune your vehicle, if he returns his to stock. The tuner can only be programmed into one car at a time..



Oh and the 4v gains are great? And definately can be felt :-p Plus spark advance is fun

i'm confused as to why his has to be returned to stock? so he has to reset his tune then i can use it? but then he wont be able to tune his back, right?...so theres no way that me and him can use the same tuner?

Just got mine done this afternoon. Running the low octane tune at the moment till I purge the system of it and get a couple refills of premium going. I only drove home today in town so I haven't had a chance to get on it at all to notice anything. I'll be sure to post something when I get a chance to get on it, and also when I get premium running in the tank.
