Hey guys what's shakin! I am in a quandry here. I really want to get a dyno tune for my car which is much needed after my headswap. I have been trying to get it done for the past 2 months and it just doesn't seem to work out. Now I really want to buy a plenum and a throttle body. I really don't want to buy a plenum and throttle body and spend money on a chip and dyno tune all at the same time. I would really like to get the tune done but not sure if I should wait until I get the plenum and throttle body. Will it make that much of a difference if I install them after the tune? Should i buy them first and then get the tune later once all the parts are installed or can i get the tune first and add the parts later? Like I said i don't wan't to spend the cash on both right now. Any thoughts?

You could get a programmer like a Diablo Predator and burn (load) a tune into your ECC yourself. There are hundreds of tunes available for the Mustang for just about any combination of mods. Plus, you can tweak the tune yourself. If you're still not satisfied, you can have a professional tuner do the dyno thing on your car and you can load the tune with the Predator.

I would opt for the plenum and TB combo before any dyno tuning. I doubt your car is going to be that far off tune wise with the PI swap. I would just wait until bigger mods before burning a chip since every change after requires at least a checkup on the dyno. if your car is running bad or smells rich the tune might be a good idea though.....
