I was thinking of getting my EMC flashed(I hope I mentioned the right thing, im not exactly completely mechanical savvy). I own a 2001 Bullitt and am wondering is this mod is worth it, and what am I to expect if I was to get it done. Thanks!

it would be the pcm the main computer that you flash and its best to buy a handheld tunner such as diablosport or sct.... i have the diablo and happy with it so far but the one most liked on these forums is the sct so do some research on those and get the one that fits you

ah hey, thx for the correction. I have a friend willing to do it for me for 70 bucks. I think its a diablo tuner like you mentioned. Is there anything I am to expect if I do it? like, overheating or reduced gas mileage or the like?

Cornbread01

well if your friend has the tunner and he already did it to his car then he cant do it to your car the tuner is married to the car it was used for... does he work at a dealer cuz they have special equipment they can tune with get more info on what he is gonna do to make sure you get you get what your paying for

hmm I didnt know that.... I guess thats something I will have to find out. haha BUt IF i was to do the mod, say I got it done by him doing it or me buying the tuner myself, What kind of things should I expect to happen with my car? Will the rear end and tranny be able to take the HP increase?

lol you will have no rear end or trans prob lol with a good tune you will see 15 rwhp but if you can go with sct

doughboy4.6 how long have you been running at 429 rwhp?

LOL!!!! Thanks for the laugh. That was the funniest sh.t I've heard in a long time. Look your not bolting up a Supercharger here. Your not going to get 150hp out of a $350 handheld tuner. You will probably see around 5-10hp if that. Nothing even really noticable. The plus side with them is if you did have mods done, you can control your air/fuel ratio, timing adj., speedo correction for those low gears or tires, rev. limitor adj., top speed governor adj., auto tranny shift points. That's pretty much it! If you don't have any mods or have no clue what you are doing I wouldn't waste your money!
