I just bought my 4th mustang and am lookin for some opinions as to what route to take next. For exhaust o/r H with flowmaster cat-back. Intake i did a cai with 85mm MAF and K&N filter. I am waiting on my BBK 75mm t/b and plenum. U/D pullies coming soon. I'm not putting gears in this one. I'm not lookin for low 1/4 miles i just want a little more hp to play with. Will a predator be able to allow me a tune close to what a sct flash will do? I'm not planning on forced induction. Just using bolt ons. So Predator or SCT flash ? which would you buy or have you had to best perf. with?

either hand held tuner will work great for you. Just find the most reputable tuner in your area (or since you are staying N/A... you oculd just look at the best N/A Mail order tuners)... either way each piece of software has its own advantages for the end user, but tuner wise there are excellent tuners out there for both products.

Tim at modular power house will do mail order SCT tunes, I'm not sure of a super hyped mail order Diablo tuner but I had mine done where I ordered the tuner from, when I took it to the dyno it needed minimal tweeking to even things out.

If you are just wanting to make a few basic changes either will do. If you ever want to really learn how to tune your own car go with SCT. It is only about $300 more to upgrade to the ProRacer Package.

I say SCT mainly because that seems to be what all the tuning shops are switching to.
But in all honesty whichever a local dyno tuning facility uses will yeild the best results.

Depends on the Tuner... Took my Diablo tuned car to a friend that meddles in SCT tuning (By no means an expert) and he said if he was lucky he could get me 2 more HP than I allready had from a mail order....

I am switching to Tims tune at some point, but I don't see the need at this point in time. Honestly if I was the OP and hes staying NA I'd get whatever was cheaper through an online tuner that offered Mail ORders for N/A Apps. Unless of course he;s getting blown or cammed at some point, in wich case I revert to my "Look for a reputable local Mustang tuner" advice

Dealer isn't nessecarily a tuner, BUT if they aren't a tuner they should be familiar with ones in your area that will suit your needs.
