I just traded in my 98 GT for a 2006 GT. The '06 had less than 3000 miles on it and a bunch of performance upgrades . It has a Steeda CAI installed and the Ford dealership told me it had a custom tune.Is there any way to figure out what tune the car has?

Use a tuner to dump the tune to a file, then maybe send it to a tuner and see if they have anyway of identifying it.

is the fact that he doesnt have the stock tune going to give him grief down the road? I'm not an expert here by any means....just curious

I think it should be flashed back to factory, then retuned, Thats what I would like to do if it were mine.

If it is a true custom tune then the previous owner probably took it to a dyno tuner in town.. if you have any in your area you could ask around, see if anybody remembers doing your car (they may even have a log or graph to give you still if they keep records, like many do)

Thanks. I was wondering tte same thing about not having the stock tune. So even if I buy a tuner I wonder if it would work since there's no stock tune for it to get.

There is a place in town that does dyno tunes, and they pretty much only mess with Mustangs Dallas Mustang).

I called the dealership again today. They're supposed to be getting me info on all the upgrades and stuff. When I bought the car the stock mufflers, pulleys and intake were all in the trunk...but no tuner. I asked the guy at the dealership to ask the previous owner if he still has the tuner. They won't give me his phone number (privacy laws) so I gave the dealer my number and asked if he would pass it along to the original owner. The guy supposedly lives nearby.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I want to de-tune the car because it runs great.

You wouldn't want to de-tune it. but have the tuner for a safety net and for bringing car in for future warranty work.
