CUSTOM TUNE vs. DIABLO/SCT TUNE
i was thinking of whether or not i should take my car to get custom tuned at a dyno shop. i already have the 91 octane tune installed in my stang from the diablo unit but was wondering how much of a difference a custom tune would make in performance. i'm sure there will be some gains but my actual question is HOW MUCH GAIN? i guess i'm wondering if its worth taking to the dyno shop. anybody have any numbers or advice? thanks all.

I was wondering the same thing.
I have an SCT from Brenspeed with a 93 tune. It runs a lot stronger then stock, but I know the 4.0 has more in it. I've leaned the fuel mixure out a little more like 2% and 4%and tried it. I didn't really see a difference soI put it back. I don't know enough about the timing curves to mess with it but I would like to learn.
I am always looking for the maximum in everything and im never satisfied with what I have. I think of it as a good thing though. I plan on being an engineer and I will push the limits to new technology.
Im betting a good dyno tune will add some more power. Even if it's not a lot im sure it will smooth out the little bumps in the caned tune. I feel my car can run stronger from 4000-5000rpm...it almost pauses sometimes when I hit WOT at that rpm range before it takes off again.

I had a tune from Bamachips (I think), that was a couple years ago.
My first run on that tune was 187HP, and after the custom tune I was hitting 195.
I only have my 195 dyno run, I can't find the 187 sheet.
So I picked up 7/8 HP, about the same in torque.
