Default Tune for 2010 GT500

I have a stock 2010 GT500. Thinking about my first purchase being the SCT Tuner.
Any thoughts on power increase with just the Tuner?

Next will be the JLT CAI for Christmas.
Steeda Pully in March.
From what I have read, the power increase is around 125hp, does this sounds about right?

Suspension work to follow mid-next year.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Stephen,

You're going to love a Bama SF3 tuner for your Snake. Typically, your car will make 472rwhp / 438rwtq bone stock and see a 55-60rwhp / 40-45 rwtq gain with a Bama tune alone. This puts you around 527+ rwhp! With all of the mods listed, depending on which pulley you run, a total of 125rwhp gain is very practical.

Suspension mods is a good idea too. Power is useless if you can't stick to the pavement! I highly suggest an adjustable pan-hard bar and some subframe connectors from BMR, to really help out.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Shane, are you sure you are quoting the 2010 GT500 numbers? I thought ford rated them at 540/510 on the low end? Maybe you are thinking the 09'?

I am guessing that the 2010 would still get the same approximate HP/Torque increase form the numbers you quoted above right?

stephen-2010gt500,

I realize the 2010's were rated for a little more then 07-09's. Those numbers are actually from a bone stock 2010 GT500 that we dyno'd on our DynoJet 224xlc. So, yes those gains are conservative if anything. I know you won't be disappointed with the upgrades!
