When it comes to tuning you want a reputable shop to do it. If you don't have much for mods and custom tune isn't really necessary. You can purchase a tuner online with a tune that will work great for you. Stick with a company like SCT and it should work great for you.

Thanks ChadStang

My recommendation and ditto ChadStang's comments.

If your going to get a tune go with someone who has lots of experience as if you don't you will just end up with a can email tune that anyone can get off the net,
I recommend diago at dct in this area
DCT Performance

When you order the tune from Brenspeed they require information about your vehicle such as the individual computer code and any performance upgrades that have been done. This way they can pre-program the tune to your Mustangs engine - exhaust modification setup. No I am not a Brenspeed salesperson.:tup

Since you live in Milton go see Pat at Steeda.ca
Pretty sure Pat will retune your car anytime you purchase new parts that require a tune.

YES will be going to see Steeda here in milton ,,,THANKS

Excellent choice Hammer, Pat and Paul have done all my work for the past 5 years and are outstanding for tuning, parts and service. Wouldn't think of letting anyone else touch my car .

Bought my SCT tuner from Steeda as well when they installed the 3:73 gears and x-pipe. I've since installed the steeda cai this spring and they emailed the tune to me. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time using the tuner, but Pat was helpful in answering my questions and sending directions. I guess I was just nervous about touching the computer, not wanting to screw it up.

Wish there was a Steeda shop closer to me but I'll probably go with AM as they also have free tunes for life, even if you don't buy the parts from them, will steeda retune free if u don't buy new mods from them?

Check out Techmotion in Calgary. Matthew did a great job on mine on the dyno, and you can store his tune on your tuner.

I don't have a tuner yet, but I'll keep him in mind, thanks!

Has anyone tried the tuner and CAI made by Ford Racing? The tune is supposed to be safer for the engine by making sure the AF ratio is maintained. They might not make as many HP but I wonder if the engine would like it better. I saw it on the Sean Hyland Motorsports website. There is also a good write up in the Ford Racing catalogue.

If you got an 08, then I think your pretty safe with a Steeda or Bama (AM) tune. You'll get a better tune from one of them than Ford, and they've been tuning 4.6's for a long time.

Misener motorsports in Brantford........ Jay Misener is a great guy to deal with and has had some pretty sweet cars he has tuned! Dyno tuning will be better than a canned tune as every car is different!
