last year i had my mustang dyno and tuned.I made 483 hp and 455 tq.I had issues with spark because I was running the stock ignition system.I was able to get some pulls by gaping the plugs to 18.Over the time I up grade to a msd digital 6 box,and fixed up some other issues.The car runs and pulls great but wondering if i should go for more.My tuner says there is still some power we can get but its going to run me 275 to get it retuned. Should i go back or put the money towards something else.

from the list that you have, it seems like a real solid motor... but i would probably put that money towards maybe a cam since your still running stock which you make u more HP and assumingly put you over that 500 mark THEN after installing the cam i would go back for a tune... just my .02

Yeah I would get a retune. Look at it this way. I assume you will probably yield right around 500 rwhp after it and since that is about the cutoff point for the stock block you don't need to invest in anything else. Not to mention you will KNOW your tune is spot on, which is always a good feeling.

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
