now what ?

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 06:40 PM

ok now that it seems im inline for an 04' gt what do you guys think the first mod should be, exhaust,headers,tb,plenum,tune... lets say I have $1k to spend and i am looking for poweradders. I usually buy mid range to very good quality components,so please give names of mfg. with your input.

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 06:41 PM

4:10 Gears ford racing performance parts.
tuner SCT Xcal

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 06:44 PM

sorry probably should have mention this will not be my DD, but it will be driven quite regulary. I not sure i want to go with 4.10

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 06:47 PM

ok but you'll be sorry.

<-- had an 01 GT with 3:73's and 4:10's.

drivability and mpg is not an issue and no you won't run out of gear /have your top speed indangered.

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 06:48 PM

so are you saying you had 3.73 and went to 4.10

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 06:49 PM

yes.

I enjoyed the 4:10's much better.

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 06:51 PM

ok, what about that tuner. user friendly and does it store more than one tune at a time?

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 06:53 PM

it can store 3 on the tuner itself and as many as you want on your computer.
it's very user friendly.

here check out the site..

Trick Tuners, SCT Flash Tuners, SCT Flash Custom Tuning, PLX Devices widebands and gauges, SCT Flash tuners, SCT Xcal2, sct livewire, sct xcalibrator

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 06:57 PM

x cal 3 ?

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 06:58 PM

it's the same price as the x2's

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 07:00 PM

It looks newer so does that make ti better? and what other pieces do I need to make it work?

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 07:02 PM

it's the newer version. it's basically the same thing but it does have a few more things that the x2 doesn't.
the only other pieces you would need for it ( which are included) is the usb cable (to connect it to your computer) and the instal CD (so you can run the live load program)

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 07:04 PM

so you have found this to be one of the more useful tools in your a--kickin arsenal

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 07:06 PM

most def.

say you get a cai.. you get 4 HP out of it. now you have a tuner and you get the same cai you get 6-7 hp out of it.
that goes for all mods pertaining to power.

TheBusher · June 28th, 2008, 07:10 PM

I agree with everything HMUSN said

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 07:11 PM

does trick tune seem to be decent price wise,customer service. or are you whoring this site for a monotary reason-i dont' mean to seem like a smart ass as you are quite helpful. just curios as to what led you to this particular vendor.

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 07:14 PM

he's a friend of mine in real life and my car is tuned by him.
I don't make any money off of his sales.
his prices are very good and if you buy a tuner from him you get 2 years of free retunning when you decide to mod your car more.

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 07:19 PM

hey thanks. how long has he been doing it, where is he located, and what else does he offer that i may be interested in. im in Ky. not much in the way of specialty shops around here just me and some friends, weekend warriors you know!

HMUSN · June 28th, 2008, 07:27 PM

I hear ya.
He is in San Diego.
not sure how long but I know it's been a few years since he tuned my car. I think he tuned my car back in 2003. he offers pretty much everything tuning related. wide band 02's gauges maf's .. check out the site.. he also offers JLT intakes but I don't think it's listed on his site.

TROJENHORSE · June 28th, 2008, 07:30 PM
