You don't need a dyno tune with those mods. It is always nice, but at most you will spend big bucks for 5 hp and that's about it.
Generally speaking, you don't NEED a dyno tune unless you are adding cams or a blower. But in some cases that is still not required. A milder set of cams can be nailed with a mail order SCT tune....just specify the cams.
Some blowers are added all the time with a mail order tune. Crap, you can buy directly from a Ford dealer a Steeda blower and chip that is setup right from the factory. But, I would have a tune done if I were adding a blower. Also, a dyno tune is a good idea with nitrous.
But again, with basic bolt-ons (cai's, udp's, plenums, TB's, exhaust) a dyno tune is not essential. The SCT will get you real close.
I wish I had a wide-band! That would be the zhit! They are great tools for reading a/f. But $400+ is a lot of bones. It would be great if I had a local Mustang club that could share one of these. Hey, I would throw in $50 to get to use one on ocassion.
