i was wondering what programmer to get??? i got a 2000 stock gt im thinking im gonna do nitrous and h pipe and a programmer and t/b and plenum too and possibly gears but in a month or two im wanting to get a supercharger so what programmer would work best for all of them? also are all of these only able to be in one car at a time? i know most are like that but im j/w

1.DiabloSport U7146 Predator Tuner

2.GRANATELLI Mustang FUEGO FLASH TUNER

3.Superchips Tuner #1725 for Ford Mustang 4.6L

4.SCT X3 Power Flash Tuner

5.SCT LIVEWIRE MUSTANG & FORD HANDHELD FLASH TUNER

 

well.....if you plan on getting a supercharger, then more than likely you are going to need to get dyno tuned at some point.

so....with this is mind, you may want to check around the shops in your area, to see what they tune with. it would suck to buy a tuner, then down the road go to get a dyno tune....just to find out you are going to need to buy another tuner.

now....if i wasnt taking anything into consideration, and just buying one for the tune and to be able to fine tune certain things, then i would go with the choice i have made already. brenspeed tunes FTW. brenspeed deals with SCT. number one SCT tuner in the world actually.

 

+1 on finding a shop near you and use what they use..i have a diablo and haven't had any complaints yet... up to you and your tuner really

 

ok is the livewire one better then the x3? would i even need a programmer if i just got nitrous and h pipe and t/b and plenum? or could i just go without untill i got a supercharger and then get a programmer then?

 

going with any FI i would get a tuner so you can get it dynoed and get everything were its supposed to be..

 

say i get just the h pipe and programmer and plenum and t/b and the 4.10's with my auto what kind of qtr mile times can i expect? would it be a good idea to get a 255lph fuel pump or that just a waste of money?

The Granatelli Fuego is not a bad tuner, however it is grossly misrepresented in their advertising, it does not data log, and has no PC interface software--hence there is no way that "tunes are available over the Internet". Beyond that Granatelli's support sucks big time.[/align][/align]Another system to consider is the Sniper Special Forces package which can be programmed for power adders (nitrous, turbo, and s/c), and intake and exhaust modifications. It also offers three rpm ranges of timing and fueling settings, as well as a global spark modifier, and partial and WOT fuel settings.[/align][/align]Also included is their very competent Recon data logging application. If you really get into tuning you can upgrade to the Commando software that offers full professional level tuning in a graphical environment.[/align][/align]The Sniper Commando package does require that you know a more about tuning than the handhelds or the SF package. It's because of this that I do not recommend them to those who do not wish to learn about tuning, and tune their own engines.[/align][/align]As others have said, if your plan is to have someone else dyno tune your car then get whatever your local tuning shop uses (most likely SCT)--however if like me (an avid life-long DIYer) then the Sniper stuff is the absolute best. You will also need a wideband O2 sensor if you really get into it...[/align]

 

id love to learn hoe to tune myself if you could give me some advice
