cold air intake. exhuast. thats what i have im happy for now. but HP is like an addiction so im looking for a way to add more right now. but those 2 are the most common cheapest/do it ur self. i did the CAI in about 45 mins. and the headers...well...lets not talk about that. everyone on here seems to have a power programmer im looking into that and also the E fans. someone said that having an E fan frees up about 10-20 ponies.

A programmer is the easiest most cost efficient power. Most bang for the buck.

i have the stock setup, but i got troyer custom tunes 2 or 3 weeks ago and i am still driving around like this... . i fully recommend troyer and his crew. plus his wait time isn't as long as it used to be.

Are they good or bad or just blah tuners? i really just want to be able to get rid of Rev limiter and the speed limiter cuz i know my 4.6L can go over 97 or w/e the speed gets limited at. but ya just wonderin bout the sniper programers. went on there web site it looks pretty nice.

im not sure the exact numbers, but the seat of the pants is pretty nice. it plugs into the obdII port. take a couple of minutes, but very quick considering not having to turn a wrench. best bang for the buck, like everyhing else says.

a friend has a mustang and has sniper. he says he loves it. takes a good while to understand and get used to it, but once you get the hang of it, it is fun as well as enjoyable. but i only have personal exp. with troyer.
