I'm familiar with basic mechanics of a vehicle and do minor to mid range projects on my own but have no clue about tuners.
I bought my stang in 05 the way I wanted it from the factory. The only thing I immediately done to it was the duck bill rear spoiler, California dream functional ram air hood and Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust.
After all this time I want to get a little more power and a more aggressive sound. I've always used 92 octane fuel and after lurking for a while have read a lot about tuning that would really unleash some power. Bad thing is I'm kind of scared to do a tune on my own.
If I buy a tuner I plan to add O/R H pipe at the same time which I can install myself. Money permitting I may get some long tube headers to go with it but think this will be a job that I will have to pay someone to do.
So I'd like some opinions on:
1. Can a person who's never done a tune but can follow instructions well do it themselves?
2. How much difference would long tubes headers plus O/R mid pipe differ from only installing O/R mid pipe to the stick headers? HP, sound, and value for HP per dollar.
