    Does the computer really control enough for a chip or retune to show a decent gain?
    They show all these huge gains on modulars but I don't see how it applies to pushrods

    Depending on what year and what trans you have it can make a difference. I have a 2001 mustang with the automatic trans. I noticed a difference in performance even though it felt more like the trans worked more efficently. Motorwise, i don't think it made much difference, but by playing with shift firmness and torque modulation i am now able to break the tire loose when it shifts into second gear at about 42 mph with stock 3.27 gears, cant wait to see how it is with the 4.10s. i have the diablo sport predator which i purchased basically to calibrate for the gear change im doing soon, but figured id play around with it for a lil while.
