Default decsion!!

ok i want to get
SCT Mustang 4-Bank Eliminator Chip (88-04) for my 00 v6 mustang 5 speed bc i like the deal that i can change it on the fly but the tuner is 100+ more what more can the tuner do? btw i have headers bbk cai, spec stage 1, and a true duel exhaust.....i plan on putting a light weight flywheel like alumin or something, maybe a throttle body....but i think that will lower mpg im pushing 30 mpg....im thinking a msd box....what other mods u guys think....

You are WAAAAAAAAAAAY off base. Get a tuner, far more options. A lightwieght flywheel with a stage 2 clutch will help, it'll also lighten the load on the engine producing more RWHP, don't buy a throttle body until you have ported and polished heads and intakes, it'll be a waste of money. MSD is unnecessary, a stock coil pack is more than enough.

get a tuner from justin at vmptuning.com. you can get it tuned to your specs and he will email you new tuning files when you change your stuff as opposed to sending your chip back in the mail when you want a new tune.

A lot people report loss or torque with throttle body spacers.

Intake manifold spacers are a much better investment if you want to spend money on a thick piece of rubber
