So I came about this 99 mustang gt for a great price. It’s got quite a bit of work in it but the catch is that it needs a tune. I’ve been tracking down exactly what’s been done to the car for a bit and I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of what’s been done to it.
So when I got the car it came with a SCT x4 tuner and in it it had a custom tune, don’t know if it’s a canned/email or custom tune but as for now it runs ok.
I live in Hawaii where muscle cars aren’t really a thing. I heard there’s a handful of people who can tune mustangs on island but it’s next to impossible to get ahold of them. I have a friend who feels pretty confident he can tune my car, I trust him enough to believe it. But I’m also a skeptic and I’ve been reading LaSotas book on tuning with SCT so I can at least know what’s going on.
We’re going to do a part throttle street tune for the time being and get some dyno time for WOT/ boost tuning.
So I guess my question is what do I look out for or pay extra attention when tuning? Never tuned a car and after reading into tuning I may be in over my head. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
