Do I need my stang tuned?


Current set up is...TFS heads, TFS stage 1 cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM II, and BBK full length headers. I have a 255lph pump to install along with a adjustable FPR. Second, will my stock injectors be able sustain the added power from my mods? So what i really want to know is..is it worth it to have the car tuned and dynoed or can I install my FPR, adjust it and go? Any help is greatly appreciated.

it sure wouldn't hurt to get a tune, and i may think about stepping up to 24lb injectors w/matching maf, make sure you install the adj fpr and 255 prior to getting a tune if you get one though

+1 on what baine said, I didn't notice what year car this was in... but I know some places offer E-mail tunes, I don't have any persinal experience with them just figured I'd throw that out there as another option incase you don't have a good/reliable tuner in your area...

stock injectors are limited to the 260-280hp area so i'd think seriously about putting some 24's in there before you get a tune.. and a tune will only help your drive-ability quality and help obtain the most out of your parts and those parts flow much nicer then the stock shit. The stock ecm can only adapt to new parts to a point so I would say a tune would be in your better interest after the injector upgrade.
