Congrats on your willpower (a whole year and a half!)...I went from "it's staying bone stock forever" to my current mod list in about two months lol...
...yeah man 3.73s should be next...then drag radials and rear ca's to put the power to the ground...then throw a no-invitation-needed fbody rape party lol...

Congrads on the first mod. I have a feeling this will be the first of many for you my friend. It's hard to stop once you start. Just ask me. I've had my car for about 2 and a half months now and have already dropped a few grand in mods.

Congrats,
you wont be disappointed at all. I have that setup. all 93 tunes. the torque and performace tunes feel about the same to me. It feels the way ford should have released the car. you will be able to chirp the tires in 2nd and 3rd with TS on. My wife even prefers the shifting and throttle response as opposed to stock tune.The sad thing is this just leaves you wanting more. So i see a Whipple here shortly.

Congrats and welcome to the mod club! You will really like the changes...especially in an auto. Hearing them chirp 1-2 and 2-3 is pretty cool.

Texotic - the tune/CAI can actually improve MPG. I say 'can' because most don't as you'll want to run a bit harder afterwards!!! But normal driving you can see better MPG.
