Tillman speed isn't in philly lol. Its in aston but close enough i guess.

no need to upgrade the drivetrain, only if you are going for 450rwhp+. no suspension mods but those may be coming shortly, first i am going with nittos first.

I say buy the car man. The 4.6 engines are preety stout (if there taken car of). Nothing like buying a stock stang and putting a little money into her.

Meh I think its more like 20 mins but whos counting. I actually just heard about them for the first time last week. My friend was getting his car painted up there and saw the shop so we looked into it. They look like they specialize in s197s. Have you thought about going to evolution performance? Its less than a mile away from tillmanl

lol i think it is the opposite, evolution performance specialize in the s197s and the gt500's just take a look at there web site they gt500's lined up in front of there place lol. yea tillman speed is charging me $250-$350 for my dyno tune which i thought was pretty good since my first option was bringing it to mustang magic in L.I. but they told me to stay away from them. Tillman speed have a new building and a new dynojet and they have experience with kb so they say over 40 years in tuning experience. we shall see friday will be posting results once i get back so look for my thread over the weekend.

The reason I say i think tillman specializes in s197s is because almost every part on their website is for an 05+ mustang
