alabamastanger Regular 1983 Mustang GT N/A Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Tucson, Az Posts: 120	Tuning Question I just got a 2000 GT mostly stock, with K&N CAI, and Bassani Cat-back. I've read a lot about tuning. Do I have to buy my own tuner and take it to someone to tune my car, or can I just take it to a shop and have my car tuned. Any tips? Suggestions? Thnks

See what kind of software they use, probably SCT. Then you can buy a handheld tuner. Like said though, you really dont need one untill you get a few more mods. __________________ 98 GT: Accufab, Steeda, BBk, Mac, FlowMaster, Moser, Ford Racing, American Racing, Nitto DR's, Eibach, SCT, FPS 06 GT: JLT, SCT, FRPP/Borla, Pypes, Steeda, BamaChips, Deez Nutz RadMustangs Store
