go with the programmer....I have the predator and it makes power and is very useful but I have since found out about the tweecer (around same price as the predator) which is 10 times better......save yourself some money and buy the tweecer. Chips are a waste in my opinion.....you need to get it reburned all the time as your car is always changing if you have the bug that I do......it's expensive to reburn chip after chip when you could just hook up your laptop and do it yourself. Just my advice

Is Tweecer The Name Brand Or the model? I have a 2004 40th anniversary Edition Gt (Crimson Red w/ The Arizona Beige Racing Stripes) My Mods Include:C&L Trueflow IP, Accufab 75mmTB, Mac CAI, C&L 85mm Mass air, BBk underdrive Pulleys, Magnaflow X w/ Cats and they sent me to a best ET of 13.7 @ 104mph. I think I need a tuner and some slicks to get myself down to low 13 or better yet high 12's Thanks I will definetely check on that.

I would get the Pred. and get a custom tune. With the mods you have you might be running a little lean. I had to get a custom tune to fix my lean problem. The tuner that is doing my tune said he an get about 8-15 more HP over the Diablo tune. The Diablo Pred. allows you to do a lot more than just tune the car, and the dealer won't know you did anything cuz you can put the stock tune back in.

Its your car, and your money, but the first thing I would do to your car is take the C&L maf off of it. If you look around stangnet enough, you will see why. Take it off, and sell it on ebay or something because they are notorious for causing all kinds of problems. Did they send you all the stock parts that they changed out when you got the car? Hopefully they did so you can just put the stock one back on. Good luck, and welcome to the mustang world. Oh and yes for you Id say get a tune because you are probably pretty lean.
