Thanks for the help guys, I really think I am going to get one. I don't feel like spending 100 something on the speedcal for my gears and another 60 for mil elminators. I might as well just spend a little more money, and have the convience of the handheld tuner.

I have the diablosport predator in my stang and after reading Dragon02GT's article I maxed out my spark and man it's a nice improvement.. thanks Dragon02GT. Also just to clear up any questions about using the same tuner in a different car.. once you first plug the tuner into your car it does an automatic save of your cars information including serial number... so now the tuner is married to your car and only your car.. before it can be used in a different car it has to reset your car back to the original factory setting thus divorcing it from your car.. then and only then can you use it to tune another car. hope this helps.

you feel a difference because you want to feel one. after a few days, it goes away. i don't believe everything i read about gains online anymore. not after the accufab challenge which came up shorter than a MAC. when i got my gears done, they offered a chip and tune or just a speedcal. they flat out told me i'll probably only get like 6RWHP from the tune.

You could be right.. it might be in my head .. but I am going to believe what I feel when I hit the gas. besides what do the guys at fordmuscle have to gain by lying about their test.
