My fuel mileage actually increased marginally after the re-tune... A great mod that has only positive effects, no negatives- not something you get to experience in the modding world very often.
Out of curiosity, how many of you are autos?

Why didn't the car come this way? The tune especially. The one thing I did not like the most about my car was the throttle lag and the kind of float at times getting into gear. Both problems solved. This is not that expensive of an upgrade and Ford could have blown people's minds if they test drove a V6 that had response like this. The new V6's are much better now, so I guees they kind of addressed it.
Like a new car, thanks to all those who recommended this. I should have listened sooner, like right after I bought the car. And get this I've only run the 87 street tune so far. I am going to run a full tank of each tune in the next two weeks.

Thanks guys.
I have an auto, and the shifting is dramatically better.
As far as 93 tune, I will have to settle for 91. I went 87, 89, and 91.
My fuel mileage also seems to be up about .75 m/g. to maybe 1 m/g. That really stuck me as odd, as I can't stop gunning it from a dead stop!

Wait for it, wait for it.....
Told ya so
Each tune has different characteristics, so make sure to try them all out. By far the most fun is the 93 Race imo but fuel economy sucks and it's jumpy/jerky at times

Don't have to worry about the 93 only got the 91. But I imagine the issues would be similar, can't wait to try the other 2 tunes.
You get your new bumper on and hood painted yet?
