i had there tuner on my f150 they are crap. They are very generic tunes made to work on everything and thus are very very weak tunes. They are so conservitive that i was able to run 87 on there "performance 93 octane tune" so yeah i would highly recomend getting a SCT product or a diablo product with a tune for YOUR car not every mustang every made after 94.

TOTAL piece of ****. Get an SCT XCal 2 or Diablo Predator depending on what local tuners use.

Thanks for the quick answers. I had bid on one on ebay and got a second chance offer today. I had went by my local speed shop and set up a time to do my 4.10's and would rather spend the money on that. Thanks again.

As others have point out, stay away from that tuner. It is worthless except for on a totally stock car and the tunes are too conservative to make a difference anyway.

35 - 40 miles? Holy ****, consider yourself lucky. Most of us drive HOURS for a custom dyno tune.

Now, I am going to give you the best possible advice ANYONE could offer, so get a pen:

1 - Start with gears! Great mod and ANY decent shop can install these. You don't need a dyno tune for gears.

2 - Don't waste your time with a dyno tune unless you start really modding the car.

3 - You need to get something to calibrate your speedo after installing the gears or it will be way-off and rack up miles faster then it should. If you have an auto then you absolutely MUST calibrate the speedo or risk breaking the tranny....not to mention that it won't shift right.

4 - You can use one of the SCT devices already mentioned to calibrate your speedo. If you have an auto, you definately should get one of these as the tune will firm-up your ships, correct the speedo, and advance the timing for higher octane fuel. Just get a mail-order tune unless the car is modified.

5 - Now, if you have a dyno tuner that is close to you that uses Diablo products, then get that instead. I would choose the device based on what your local tuner uses. That way, when you mod further and need a dyno tune, you will have a device that your tuner can use w/o having to buy another new device.

6 - If you live in Hope Indiana, you should check out Modular Depot in Ohio. I believe they are in Cincinatti. They used to be an extremely reputable Mustang shop and SCT tuner, but I have not heard much about them lately. It will be a drive, but might be worth it.

That is all folks

If that is the case and you are budget limited for the moment, just get gears!
