[torrid69]

i have an 01 gt and i'm swapping the stock gears for 3.73's. is there any other way to recalibrate my speed without buying a tuner?

buy a tuner...you will save yourself a buttload in the end.

do you have a recommendation for a tuner?

Most people go with either the SCT or the Diablo. It's almost a toss-up on what flavored results you want as to which one to get.

sct has the best 2v results at this point. best mail order tunes and great customer service

except for the k&n and flows, im still stock. what can i expect from one of these, in added hp? its also a 5 speed.

well, it allows for your set up to grow. If you go to an o/r midpipe it will keep the SES light from coming on. Plus you could pick up a good bit of power just from adjusted timing, but you will have to run premium fuel.

if you plan on doing any serious mods, go with SCT. you can upgrade to the pro racer package later.

I'm tempted to say just cruise alongside a buddy who's driving at X mph, then pull your needle and reset it.. but I think because of the ratios involved it would still never be quite right without a tune or a speed-cal.

if you're going with a tuner than sct seems like the best choice. however, i'd try to find what the tuners in your area are using.

I must agree. But even if you just want to get into tuning with or without serious mods, Xcalibrator 2 would give you the option of upgrading to the PRP. If not, the Predator is more mature than the Xcal2.

when the hell did you get a new car?

I added the SCT 2 with a high octane tune and reset the calibration to my 373s. Very slick! Easy to reprogram for new mods or to return to stock tune. New software mods to allow user adjustments due any day now too. Excellent product!

What new car? I still have my 2004 GT.
