you will hear brenspeed and also bamachips. both are great to deal with. i personally used brenspeed and his service is second to none. but looking back i wish that i went to my local tuner, pro-dyno. i am not saying that brenspeed didnt do a great job, but i noticed that with the custom dyno tune my car made more power above 4000. now the only problem that i run into is when i add parts, brenspeed with give you a free tune when you buy their parts, while most dyno shops will charge you for another tune. if i were to do it again, i would have stockpiled all of my parts and installed then at once with one trip to the dyno. but if you want a quick car now get the cai (jlt or c&L) and the tune from brenspeed. if you read through the site you will see tons of arguments over what tuner or cai to go with, but that is my .02

+1 Brenspeed. Go with Brenspeed until you're "done" modding, then get a dyno tune.

You don't really believe that you will ever be "done" modding do you? You have about as much chance of that as a crackhead going cold turkey. This is my 5th Mustang and the only time I stopped modding any of them was when I crashed them or sold them. (Please don't ask how many I crashed, I'll never tell anyway)

Other than that I couldn't agree more, Brenspeed/Bama tunes are the way to go until you want to get serious. Paying for custom tunes after every bolt-on could get pretty expensive.

That's why "done" was in quotation marks. Basically, like done for the season.. or done for a few months... or have enough done to make a difference.

Yes they will tune for your intake. They will want to know that grade of gas you wish to run also.

Justin at VMP Tuning is also supposed to be very good.
I think he gets $50 for a single tune file or $125 for a full load (3 files).

If you have a 2007+ I think the Xcal 2 will only hold two files though (The files are larger).
