what computer for 2001 motor in 96 GT?

[v8stang289]

My brother in law just replaced the motor in his 96 GT automatic with a 4.6 out of a 01 GT. The car doesnt seem to be making the power it should and he is attributing this to the 96 computer trying to feed a motor that flows more air. Is the best way to fix this to upgrade to an 01 factory computer? Or to try a handheld programmer such as diablo etc.? Also if anyone knows a place in eastern NC where the computer could be reflashed and the car tuned please let me know. Thanks for the help!!

He needs to keep that '96 computer, take the car to a reputable dyno tuner to run it through its paces and have it reflashed and all will be fine.

Thanks, Thats pretty much what I figured, thats why I have the last line in the first post. I dont really know of a good shop that dyno tunes and can reflash the computer. So if anyone does, please chime in. Thanks!!

make sure you have all the sensors from the 96 installed
