I'm pretty much staying out of this one. I will say, the only regret I have is not dynoing mine before I started modding. [:@]

on an 03-04 cobra you can get 20-30hp with tweaking a tune but not on the V6.
i don't act like i know everything just because i own 1 and don't even act like know everything but i have been building cars for quite awhile and have been down the tuning road with many cars. yes there is power there but mainly only right after a poweradder is added and the first dyno pull with A/F is taken to find out what the engine is doing. then if the tune is off it can be tuned in perfectly and slightly agressive like running on the lean side and/or advancing spark but after you find the safe operating parameters with a poweradder there is not 30-50hp floating around waiting for you to tap into it with the V6
a 3 position flip chip may have a 30hp range tops but that is even stretching it and i wouldn't trust diablo. i have used their tunes in the past only to be dissapointed. for tuning SCT is the way to go and preferably from Justin at www.vmptuning.com
why don't you contact justin and see if he agrees with you on this. i doubt he will

No its not BS, man you act like you know everything about a 6 because you own one, there are ways to gain over 75hp by doing ecu work, yes more than a tuner can do, research before you actually leave a post like that, I know of one tune by diablo that give about 30 rwhp on our year but the changes it does is drastic, like racing type setups, so don't tell me big hp gains are bs, go tell that to any real racer. 50 hp may be a little high for an everyday person with a tuner, but 30 hp is more than possible, but I still wouldn't rule out the 50hp gains.
