If I go down the road to a local mustang shop...and get a tune for my NA application with all of my mods listed in my sig...how much power would i typically pick up?...Im still running my factory tune....

Also...if I get my tune done with SCT software for the NA app...can I later down the line get it reflashed using the same application for a blower setup...?

I'm asking this because i don't want to have to pay for two separate tunes....If i have to pay twice for two separate tunes, I'll just wait for the blower....but the blower wont be for another year or two...


thanx:SNSign:

With a tune you might pick up 10-20WHP on a naturally aspirated 2v. But every time you change the car air flow (such as a blower) the car will need a retune.

You might want to look into SCT pro racer software. You can create your own tunes that way. All you need is a laptop and wideband AFR gauge. That software upgrade costs 300-$400. So you can do that, or wait 2 years until you have your SC.

That's probably about right for your mods.. I'd guess 15-20rwhp. CAI, pullies, and exhaust don't really benefit from a tune. If you slapped some headers and cams, or a blower on there, then I'd pop for the tune for sure.
