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.

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

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.

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.

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.
