Got a couple questions about my new car.
Hey everyone I just bought an 03 GT Friday and have a few questions. The first one is this car came with a custom tuned Xcal2 programmer. How can I go about finding out which tuner originally created the custom tune for this car? The current tune is for 93 octane gas and some areas around here the gas stations only carry 91 octane gas so I would like a second written for 91 octane fuel. The second one is i'm not sure about the history of this car modifications wise and I haven't had any luck contacting the previous owner so i'm looking everything over closely to find out whats stock and what's not. I do know that it has a JLT intake BBK 70mm throttle body,trickflow air plenum, and it appears to have an aftermarket harmonic balancer. Here's a pic of it does it look stock to you guy's? Also can any of you spot other aftermarket part's in the engine bay that I haven't mentioned? Thanks alot for any help you guy's can provide.

It has a true dualed flowmaster exhaust with an H-pipe. The exhaust does not have convertors and is a bolt on kit. The car also has a steeda short throw shifter and Nitto NT555R drag radial tires. I posted in the new members section with everything I know is done to the car and some other pics. Thanks for the help.

That's one thing I didn't understand about this car. It still has the crappy stock header's. That's the first thing on my to do list. The gears i've been wondering about also. Fourth gear at 40mph is setting at 2,000 rpm's if that helps any. When revving out the gear's i'm shifting to fifth around 120mph when shifting at 6,000rpms.
