I agree, and I'll also throw in that most will inflate their numbers a bit. I'm not shooting for a magic "number", only to improve the driveability and shift points, a little more 'umph', along with the off-hand chance at humbling a few stock 04 and down GTs. I'm also aware that RPM doesn't have the greatest reps on the net, but every single tune for their "Lightning packages" has worked out very well. Call it an "informed purchase based on prior history".

I did fail to mention, we'll be tweaking the "tune" ourselves, to suit the car, The tune from RPM will be simply a starting point. Trans tune tweaked on the street and dyno, engine tweaked on a dyno. That's why I'm looking more at price point versus particular tuner. From what I've read here so far, for the plug and play guys, those that you listed would be the best route.

good color and package pick. Can not stop anywhere without someone telling me about the lime stang that they wanted when they were younger. Feel in love with the color the second I saw it. Welcome to the forums dude.

Thanks for all the compliments. The Lime color grows on me daily. We should have all the mods finished up tonight, provided the fog lights get here today. I tried to skip doing the struts/shocks, but my wife absolutely hated the ride on the stock ones with the Eibachs. It is her car.... After driving it for quite a bit last night, the stock struts/shocks simply aren't enough for any performance spring upgrade. Guess I'm getting older!
Pics of the rest of the cars:
Cobra
F150
Exploder
I'll have the car for most of the day tomorrow, some daytime decent pics then!
