This looks like snake oil..

Hmmm.... my stang doesn't fit this module anyways.. anyone seen where I parked my LX Diesel???
Vehicle Application Ford Mustang 2005 LX GT NON-Diesel and NON-Turbo Canadian / USA / UK & Foreign models |
It is NOT for a diesel...
|
By saying NON-Diesel - they imply there is a Diesel out there..... All these types of systems don't work by the way. You need a programmer and change how the car performs to get fuel milage. Also how you drive and envronmental factors, Tire pressure, and so many other reasons.
|
..or they are bullet plating the script so they can change the name to a bunch of different cars and are too lazy to catch the ones like this on...like when was LX used for a mustang....it has to be pre 2005 ..and it just goes to show you who is doing the selling.
The reason I asked is that I have seen bunches of different adds touting the magical chip..in fact, I have heard end users spouting about their extra hp a chip gave them. From what I am gathering for you, it that all these chip purveyors are selling snake oil and they have pulled the wool over many end users eyes.. Thanks, I will stay away..I don't need any more power (sorry snakebite :) ) but the gas milage interests me eventhough the 'stang gets much better milage than the trusty RAM. Grassy |
I wouldn't ever buy one. I'll stick with my handheld tuner.
|
100HP!!! WOW. I'll buy one right away, what a deal...NOT.
Stay away from those, they're useless. |
...so why do you need to buy a tuner..it is probably a one shot deal..should you be able to rent one or have someone at a garage do it for you ?? Seems awefukl expensive just to change an acceleration curve

Grassy Also if you take your car in for warranty work etc (i cant with my intake) but most people can swap back to the stock intake and restore the tune to stock before bringing the car in. Also to make the swap for emissions tests. If you get a fancy one you can use it for datalogging and or monitoring your air/fuel which can be handy especially if you have forced induction. |
..Ford will not warranty you car woth a cold air intake ? ...they sell one them selves ? Yes, I see your point. I am a pretty easy driver but being a computer dweeb for over 20 years, I could see me playing with the thing an awful lot..probably best that I don't have one :)

As for the warranty issue the CAI would have tio be proven as the source of the issue to deny warranty. Secondly you cannot borrow or rent a tuner as it marrys itself to the vehicle and can only be used on another when the current vehicle is returned to stock.
Do I recommend a tuner and CAI for your vehicle? YES you would not believe the difference it makes in your power and throttle response, it will take your high 14 to low 15 second car and turn it into a high 13 second car in the quarter mile as well as improve your shift points (if you have an auto). It will wake up your car. You can also opt for a gas mileage type tune that will improve your average mileage substantially although I only use that type of tune if I am hitting the highway to travel a long distance, otherwise I want to chew gas! mainly because I am on a track trying to beat the stock GT Mustangs with my NA V6. |
...the follow up question would be what is the best..and cost effectiver tuner for my '07 gt ?
Thanks Grassy |
Either a SCT Xcal3 or a Diablo Predator I prefer the Predator but a lot like the XCAL 3. Intakes are many but the C&L, JLT and BBK are some of the more supported ones, on my V6 I use a Demolet Tunable Induction with the Diablo Sport Predator tuner and am now back to the BAMA Chips 91 Octane Race Tune.
You can get a used SCT XCAL 3 for around 250.00 and it would be a good fit for you I think. I had 2 of them for sale but they both are gone now. |
when i bought 1 for my audi like 2 years ago i could change a whole hell of alot . it was fun but i got myself in a bit of trubble a few times. but as long as u have acess to the net u can figure just about anyhting out. mine did not add any power just let me change everything from my headlight level to my auto window feature on my key fob. there might have been a way to play with the power but all the engine stuff was way way beond me so i left it alone but i did run the logger from time to time just to see if i could make it work.
