First post to this forum. Just jioned the mustang club last week, bought myself an '07 GT 5 speed. Bought from a little old lady in maine and only 41k on her.
So I used to have an '01 Ranger with the 4.0 V6 in it. I bought a catback exhaust, CAI, and a superchips tuner. It shifted a little more aggressive but other than that i didn't notice any increase in performance. Though after a while the truck would stall when going to stop at a stop sign or light... I kind of contributed that to the tuner, but could also have been a 130K mile torque converter.
Long story short: Ranger was a dog before and after several bolt-ons.
Now the mustang is obviously a performance car and the ranger was not. I've read all sorts of good things about CAI's and tuners for these 4.6L cars, but do they really do anything?
Has anyone had any bad experiences, or good experiences they can back up with some number for me? would be very appreciated. And can anyone explain what these tuners do to a car? I assume they add some timing and maybe more fuel...
Also in case anyone is wondering this car is bone stock and is my DD so I don't want to screw anything up with it if i decide to load a tune onto it.
Thanks for reading my little rant/first post
