So, long story short, I had a silver 2003 Mustang, 194k miles, lightly modded V6 (faster than you'd think) and it was totaled shortly before I enlisted in the Marines. About 7 months later, here I am in the Marine Corps with a laser red 2000 Vert GT on its way, very modified. Not planning on modifying this one much, but I may end up doing something eventually. It's a pretty extensive list of mods so I'll throw just some basics on here.

4.10 gears
Aluminum driveshaft
Pacesetter O/R H-pipe
Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers
CAI
75mm throttle body
300 lph fuel pump
caster camber plates
lowering spring
bump steer kit
sport brake rotors
Nitto rear tires
Federal front tires
XXR gloss black rims 18x9, 18x10.5
130 amp alternator
Bama tune

They are well known for tunes to be complete . I ran some of their tunes WAY back and I was detonating like a mofo. They're a joke and probably robbing you of power

Alright, I'll take a look at it and see if it's trash. Recommend a different tune?

Those tunes are going to cost. Bottom line is that you are nowhere near a need for a tune. Tunes will only become necessary when you dig deeper than just bolt-ons. Also, Why the hell is there a 340 pump in the car?????

Congrats! Looks great.

Be aware as you make modifications...if you end up stationed in CA...the last time I was there, I had to have a CA smog certificate for my brand new 2001 Crown Vic (even though a 50 state car with TN tags) in order to get a base sticker. I expect someone will pop on to offer the current requirements, but that is my experience.

Enjoy!

300 pump. Not sure where you saw 340. But thanks for the info on the tune not being totally necessary yet.
