Totally unnecessary and probably would have been just as well to run 42's....just sayin.
Is it that big of a sin to put 60 # ers on 450 hp car? lol
I ran 36 lbers back in the day with an S trim and eddy heads, Ed curtis cam, etc. , that pushed out about 425 rwhp on a stock block. Had it tuned by Chris Johnson before he went to SCT. Not sure they even made 60#'ers back then.
Not sure who lido is, but my guy has likely been doing this much longer and never makes you build or do anything that wastes time or money. Doesn't push a tune on you either.
Using an SCT meter on a fox just complicates your life for no reason. Me personally, i'd never trust anyone that suggests that meter. .
Yeah, if it happens it'll be a good thing!never say never
Then it may be close. Not sure how i have never heard of him.i dunno...Lidio has been tuning the Foxbody's since 1990 and been around the Mustang scene even longer.. just sayin

Very good post.. I only asked him what works cause he has been doing it for so long.. I live in the detroit area so there are alot of tuners here.. most of them bad.. I could not find 1 person to say something bad about Lidio so when I asked his recommendations he gave them and that is all I have to go on besides some very informative people on this forum.. So, he basically said he knows wut works and what can work. sure the 42# injectors would be fine and the pro m MAF but If he can get me that much more outta the tune safetly than so be it.. the price from 42's to 60's and pro m to sct isnt going to break me.. He has a rep for a reason and by that alone is why I chose my parts.. Sure he could be "baiting me"but I dont think so..You dont get the kinda rep he has unless he is doing something right..Then it may be close. Not sure how i have never heard of him.
I think my buddy started his mustang shop is 88 or 89, i'll have to ask. I met him in 93.
Sounds like they have about the same amount of experience, depending on when this guy switched to working on modulars.
Still don't see why he would suggest an SCT meter, 60's or a pump that big.
To me it sounds like a ploy to sell a tune or those are the parts they stock.
Not sure it matters, the OP may have painted himself in a corner. Once you ask the guy that is going to work on your car what to use, changing you mind may not be an option.
If you went in with a plan and suggested what you wanted to use and do, it may have been acceptable, but now it would look like you don't trust him. Something that is never good when you are leaving your car somewhere.
I am not buying any parts from him or anyone he knows.. I am only getting a tune from him.. thats it..Then it may be close. Not sure how i have never heard of him.

I'm well aware of Lidio's reputation as a tuner. That's not what's in question here. I'm also aware that he's in business to make money. If you tell him you want to see 600hp one day, then why should he talk you out of it? He's going to recommend the parts to make that happen because that's what you asked for. He's not going to talk you out of buying expensive parts or tell you to take a step back and really consider your goals, budget and timeline if it possibly means repeat business for him. This way, he get's to tune your car twice, or more and make god knows how much more money out of you over the next couple of years in the process.
Nothing wrong with that....it's business. But he's in this to make money and keep the lights on....not to talk make the decisions for you.
I notice you didn't answer any of my other questions? Answer those before you decide to ask any more.
What are your goals?
How fast do yo plan on running?
Why the magic 22psi and 600+hp numbers
Are you prepared for the other supporting parts necessary to harness 600hp?
What's your budget?
Are you aware you'll be in $20k before this is done?
How long do you plan on this taking?
No.....what makes you think you've got a 450hp car? What parts have you got thus far?
You ask a lot of questions, but aren't giving us much to work with. Details!!!
here we go.. you detect a pattern... you think you know were this is going? I am trying to make an informed decision... plain and simple.. I maybe more retarded than most so forgive my ignorance.. We all cant be smart...I'm beginning to detect a pattern here.
