I got one cheap from a forum member (thanks MidNightRunner!) a couple weeks ago. My 04 GT is bone stock with welded Flowmaster 50's and a k&n drop in filter. I loaded the 93 octane performance tune and definitely felt a good bit of power increase. I adjusted the shift points and firmness and disabled traction lock also. Before loading the tune I had to try hard to spin tires a even a little bit with traction lock off. Now I have to be careful on take offs to NOT break traction. With the Diablosport tune it just runs smoother, accelerates faster and always seems to be begging me to punch it.

Congrats on the free tuner. Also to take full advantage of the tuner you'll have to slap some more mods on her. Do you have gears??

+1 on needing a few more bolt-on's to feel that tune more. But I wouldn't spend any more money on it until you through gears at it.

and on a serious note with the 4:10s. i would just be worried about highway driving i know im not in a prius but id like to keep a little mpg on the highway for my drives to work. i hear all kind of horror stories about how bad people's mpg hit the pooper after some 4:10s
