Default To tune or not to tune! I am lost, help!

hey,

ok, i have a '06 'stang GT, i am in the works of putting ona pypes exhaust, part #RPM-504601-F, and the PULLEY/C.O.P. kit, Part #RPM-504601-A, from http://www.rpmoutlet.comand a JLT CAI model #CAI-FMG-0507 from http://www.jlttruecoldair.com/ok, i know for the cai, u need a dyno tune/re flash, and for the exhaust, u dont need a dyno tune. the question i have is this: do u need a dyno tune for the pulleys, or the C.O.P. kit? i plan on putting the exhaust on this weekend, and the pulley/cop kit also, if a tune is NOT required. i will be getting a dyno tune in march, and that is when i will be installing the CAI. i dont want my car going into "limp home mode". any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Jay

You only need a tune for the CAI.

The axle ratio code is on your info plate inside the drivers door frame AND there should be a tag on the rear axle's differential cover (if it hasn't disintegrated). There are a few threads that you should be able to find with a search to tell you what the code is.

3.31:1

In '06 it was 3.31 for autos and 3.55:1 for manuals.

Beinning in '07 the 3.31:1 was standard everywhere, and 3.55:1 was an option.
