No, no/no and no.

The exhaust is free flowing already. Changing it will yield a differnt exhaust tone but no measurable power. The pulley frees up power but does not affect the air intake or exhaust so no tune needed. X or H pipe with different cat's = YES new tune needed.

Have fun the JLT and a tune will give you a new car. A serious change in giddy up considering the cost.

Check with brenspeed and bamachips ... BEST TUNERS IMO hands down. THey will run you about 544 - 560 depending wich site you go to. THATS JUST FOR THE JLT the other are a bit higher in cost.. Gain wise you can expect to see.. 18+ HP 15+ TQ and if you have and auto and WAKE UP CALL.. the shift points are amazing ! Both companys make an amazing tune... SO good luck man !

That sounds amazing. Looks like that is what I am looking for. Always looking to improve on the shift points. Just now have to wait for the TCI shifter to be released.

Hopefully it will feel like a completely new car. I haven't been on a GT since I sold my last stang about 5 years ago. It feels completely different than a V6.

Now that I already ordered this package, I'm about to order some more stuff today.



I ordered the package from the JLT website BTW.
