if you can afford it a pms system would be badass.

retune it yourself everytime, no need to dish out another 300 everytime you change something.

I may be running the TwEECer which seems to be very user friendly for what I've seen.

BTW, does that redline cut fuel or spark? What processor are you running? A9L?

yeah a9l i think it's fuel,because it felt like i hit the brakes when i hit 6250..

my freind has a chip to try out,but i think it will hurt me more than help?

stock computer cuts fuel.

if your friends chip is custom for his application i would not use it in your ride. don't want to go lean or nothing...

Well your making it seem like you got some more motors in the planning so go with the PMS or twEECER. When you do make your decision tell us how you like it. The tune on the engine your speaking of seems like it will be a well worth while investment.

close to a G I believe. Yeah they are expensive but with changing mods and building new things throught the years I would say that is a worth while investment, and if you know others with stangs and you get pretty good with it you can charge 50 bucks for a tune.........
