tuner/chip?
I was thinking about modding my 2004 mustang with a 3.9L v6, but wasnt sure about a tuner/chip. What would be the best rout for tuning the computer? should i buy a chip, or a handheld tuner?

Handheld, unless you don't mind shipping your chip off to your tuner whenever you need a new tune (supposing you don't plan on doing all dyno tunes).

Not a whole lot, but then again I had a 5 speed (I mostly needed the tuner for my gears and to run 93 octane). If you have an auto, you'll get more out of it than I did. Plus you'll be able to change your shift points and shift firmness which I didn't get to.
