Every heard the phrase "One size fits all"? Is it always true? Nope! The canned tunes built into the Predator/SCT/Superchips tuners are pretty conservative and are not really custom at all. They need to take into consideration the many different mods and combo's an owner may have. A true custom tune performed on a dyno can be tweaked to meet the specifics of your car and your current mods. It can be dialed in specifically for your car and as a result will almost always make more (& safer) power. There are also additional tweaks a custom tune can perform that isn't available or user specified via the handheld units (like shutting the shift light off or disabling the boost bypass). A custom tune is superior in all ways as long as it's performed by a professional who knows what they're doing.BensCobra said:after i do gears i am gonna get a tune. i see alot of these big HP cars that have professional custom tunes on them. is this really superior than your standard hand held tuners? keep in mind my car is 90% street driven

Gotcha!BensCobra said:well i plan to take it too the track every now and then, and plus, the car is NOT my daily.
mogs01gt said:point is, its a waste of money and you arent hurting engine without having a tune on those little of modifications.
I drive mine on the street every day, and I did gears. isn't that one of the first suggested mods, for NA cobras, like the pre 03's. The only reason I would go back is to gain a little more mileage, but I don't see that happening. it made a very nice improvement in powerband-6th gear which I don't have, but if I did, I would go 4:56, or blower. just my 2 cents, chrisUncle Meat said:Every heard the phrase "One size fits all"?

Since your car is street driven, why are you changing the gears? Just curious...

BensCobra said:let me rephrase my question, if the handheld tuners do add some HP, then would it be better to just have a custom tune? is going into the engine the only cause for a professional tune?
