NEW HERE!!! WHAT'S NEXT???
HI GUYS, NEWB TO THE MUSTANG FORUMS, USUALLY HANGIN ON FORD-TRUCKS.COM.
JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER PLAYTOY MUSTANG, HAD TO REPLACE THE FOX. MY 03 GT IS ALREADY STARTED ON THE GOODIES, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE THE NEXT STEP. SHOULD I HAVE DYNO TUNED, OR JUST GET A TUNER AND TWEEK MYSELF. I PLAN ON FLSFC'S VERY SOON TO HELP OUT THE TRACTION DEPT. I AM WONDERING HOW MUCH THE STOCK COMPUTER CAN ACCOMODATE MODERATE MODS (CAI, PLENUM, AND FULLY OPEN EXHAUST) BEFORE NEEDING TO BE TUNED, OR MAKE FUEL CHANGES (INJECTORS, REGULATOR, PUMP, FUEL RAIL)???
ANY IDEAS ARE WELCOME.

Stock fuel system is fine with just bolt on stuff. With the current mods in your sig, you'd definitely benefit from a tune. Nothing beats a good custom dyno tune, but it's not imperative. A basic canned tune will help too.
