I have had a lot of mustangs and never used a hand held tuner. I see the SCT tuners online for $380 and seem like a lot of people use them. They work? Anyone get any decent gains with them? This is for a 98 cobra with bolt ons. Supercharger coming this summer.

You won't see much of a gain with bolt ons. I would wait, I tried a mail-order tune, when I went supercharged it was more of a headache then it was worth. He couldn't pinpoint the tune spot on like an official dyno tune, I had to data-log and send him logs through a wideband. It was a large pain in the ass! Just wait for a dyno tune.

That's a great built thread. Thanks Jon. The cobra is strange I don't know what to do to it. I don't want to waste money on the intake manifold, because when you supercharge it all get replaced anyways. At least with the Kennebell. I think I am going to just leave it at alone till I get the KB 2.1 and then have it tuned for 6psi for 91 and get a 9psi pulley and tune for when I want to run some good fuel and take it to the track.
