I thought it was worth it, but I have a cai and o/r x pipe. But still I noticed better fuel economy with the Bama tuning.

I just brought this tuner a week ago off a website, I was skeptical, because I only have a few mods, CAI, pulleys and catback. I drive a 5 speed 2002 GT, and I have noticed a huge gain with the 93octane race tune, the car idles alot smoother, 2 and 3 gear throw you hard back into your seat...even though its spendy, with free tunes for life its a great investment, you will see gains and a improvement in performance, dont think about it just get one...

gears would make a noticeable change, a tuner is nice to read codes if your check engine light comes on , but like someone else said with a 5spd i didnt notice much of a change.

I just put the SCT tuner and Steeda underdrive pullies on my 96 gt vert with automatic trans and noticed a big improvement. I also have K&N CAI, mac x pipe with turbo mufflers. I would recomend it.

I have a SCT for my GT.
I dont think its really worth the 379 bucks.
best options it has IMO is it will store custom dyno tunes if you get your Mustang Dynoed and data log which is a beetch to understand.

Other than that not really worth the loot.
Spend money elsewhere like gears and TB\plenium
