Toolfan,
I would take it to a tune shop and let them Dyno it and you will find the true horsepower that your ride is putting out.

Not quite that easy.......... No place around here with a Dyno. Closest one is in Austria, and I very seriously doubt they are equipped to tune a Mustang. I wanna cry

Hes in Germany guys......you should be over 300rwhp with those mods and you MUST have it tuned once you start getting into cams, heads etc.......instead of spending this much money on bolt ons to get 300rwhp, after the full LT exhaust call it a day, get yourself a blower and make 400 - 425 rwhp, wouldnt that make you happier?

Doesn't Diablo or SCT make specific tunes? I thought you sent them your information, Car, upgrades and the such and they sent a tunner with the optimum tunes with your upgrades. That is what I had planned on doing..... or is that a **** idea

that is deff a sh!tty idea, the $ to HP ratio will make you cry.....do the full exhaust,pick the Mongoose kit from modular powerhouse and they can do the tune for you through the mail..the mail order tune.is not the best, but your limited because of your location. 20004.6GT went this route and had great results.....PM him, im sure he would be happy to guide you in the right direction........ the question is would you rather have 400+ HP or barely 300rwhp? Get the SC man!

hell if you sold the Vette, get a forged shortblock and a D1 procharger and make 600+ Rwhp i bet shipping costs for a VT shortblock across the Atlantic would be interesting......on the serious note, just do the blower, make 420rwhp, put a huge *** American flag in your back window and make the Germans think WWII is back on[sm=americanasmiley.gif]

+1, get the blower. You are WELL over the price of a supercharger kit already, and will have about 310/320 to show for it.

There is absolutly NOTHING wrong with a mail order tune so long as it is from an experenced shop that has done plenty of tunes on your specific type of car. I would never run a tune directly from SCT/diablo though.

My MPH tune was completely dead on the very first time, I never even had to get the programmer out at the dyno shop. All you need to do is install it and then check the air/fuel ratio.
