I have an 03 Mustang GT. It has a 75mm T/B & Plenum, Ford Racing Cold Air Intake, Ford Racing Ceramic Headers, and Flowmasters on my floor in boxes. Do I really need a tune when installed? I was thinking about a SCT if I need one. What if I dont tune?

What kind of gains either way?

Thank you Very Much!!

you won't "need" a tune unless you do a big mod like a power adder or cams. for simple bolt-ons, the computer can compensate by itself. but in the end, a good tune will give you some extra power.

SCT tune would be really good for your car bud, it'll be worth it.

Thanks, I think I will look at the Newest SCT. Sounds like it might be a handy investment. A dyno tune might be a good bet too.

Anytime bud and yes sir if you can find a dyno shop around your house that will do a dyno tune with the SCT, that will be killer!
