GOT TUNED TODAY!!!!!

okay i got a SCT 4 bank memory chip i think. i know i have 4 tunes to choose from... #0 - 91 octane street tune; #1 - 93 octane race tune; #2 - 96 octane race tune (for the track on a 1:1 101/91 octane mix); #3 - Empty; #4 - stock tune; #5, 6, 7 - NO START :dunno:

Jim, my tuner called this the "SWT 91 Octane, Ass Whoopin Chip/Tune"
www.SWTuning.com

i started out today with 209 rwhp / 286 rwtq and on the 91 street tune (i think) it went to 217 rwhp / 299 rwtq. i know its not much of a gain but my god it runs like he added 30 horses!!! i took it for a ride around the block, hit it coming out of the parking lot onto a straight and the tires broke lose real easy, slammed it into second and it got all kinds of silly. this is not common behaviour for this GT, bark second, yes... light'm up in second, NEVER!!! i did a second gear drift through a corner on a back road near the shop... had to feather the gas to keep it from coming around :dancing6:

needless to say, IM FUCKIN THRILLED WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS RUNNING!!!

 

thanks guys!!! im thinking about going for a drive right now ;D

if youre reading this thread and havent had you car tuned... save your pennies and get it done!! our car idles smoother and runs like a scalded ass ape now!!! i cant wait to go blow the tires off on the line at the track next time out :

i have a feeling im going to have to learn to drive again :-\

 

funny you mention that... i found this on my tuner's FAQ page.



this guy has 15 years of tuning experience and recently relocated from Austin. Texas in known to have some of the best tuners in this part of the world :thumb:

 

im probably not the best person to ask for advice on tuners/tuning, i dont know much about either. thats why i took it to someone with a very good reputation (plus, he's from Austin). i dont know the guys at Dallas Mustang but if you want to make the trip up to OKC, i know this guy is good and stands behind his work! check out his web site www.swtuning.com.

i'll ask some of the guys in my local club who's the best down there... i know there's a shop in Lewisville (i think its HP) thats got a good rep. also, the best in the business is supposed to be down in San Antonio... cant remember the name of his shop. before Jim came up here everyone took their cars to Texas (DFW, Houston, Austin and San Antonio) for tuning. like i said i'll ask around for you :thumb:

ive heard about people getting 20-40 hp gains, my tune is written for streetable performance and wasnt written to push the limits (its got 162K on it). im sure on my 96 octane tune with the right fuel the car just SCREAMS... might try that at the track ;D

 

here's one recommendation...

a tuned car is where its at and i found out that i was test driving on the 93 tune with +/- 91 octane fuel in the tank. im getting ready to go pick up that stupid part the Ford house didnt have the other day. i'll be running on the 91 street tune, i'll post a report when i return

 

91 octane street tune is exactly what it claims... runs superb on the 91! super smooth idle, better throttle response, no cackling when downshifting and much more!!! i like the feel of the 93 octane tune better though, its FUN!! cant wait to try the 96 octane tune!!!

 

when are you planning on doing it? has your car already got a tune on it?
