Hi guys I am new to this..but I know you guys can help. What would be the best performance chip to put in my 89 5.0. It has engine upgrades as well as a tremec tranny. Let me know what you think.. javascript:void(0)

Dont waste ur time or money on a chip, they dont work that well or at all in most cases

why would you tune a pre 94 mustang? all you really need to do is set the timing and fuel pressure thats if you have heads,cam,intake

What do you mean custom tune Adam how do you achieve that? Do you buy a tuner..

take it to a tuner. a tune helps out alot with drivabilty problems with H/C/I. not totally necessary. I was running my setup with no tune.

with a tune you'll gain better drivablity than hp. Its up to you if the moneys worth it. but if you do decide to do it get a custom one. no mail order crap

stock displacement hci 302 or 306 will be just fine with the timing set and fuel pressure adjusted...now if your boosted(supercharger,turbo etc...than a tune will help..other than that take it from someone who has done the research
