Default Finally decided..

After thinking about a paint job. Im not going to get one at all. Im going to get some other mods instead. I just ordered h&r super sport springs (finally)

Thinking about getting the SCT tuner, cause sometime soon im going to be putting 4.10s in the mustang.

Is the SCT something i should be getting or would money be better spent elsewhere?

Yes... the SCT is good. I just switch over to SCT from Diablo. I decided to go with the 4 bank chip. IDK how itll work out for me since fellas go w/ the handheld SCT tuner (more options, easier to upload customs tunes) but i thought what the heck lets see what i chip can do!

For you doing gears, i'd say a tuner is a good follow-up / pre mod (persay to purchase). Otherwise, i'd say get a (H or X) pipe, catback exhaust, cams. (no order.... justang stating em off)

Only reason i thought about the tuner was to calibrate the speedometer, then will have tunes for life for whenever i decide on some more mods.

So the SCT will not calibrate the speedometer? And how far will it be off after the 4.10s?
