    Tuning Question

    I just finished rebuild my 5.0. and I was wondering if i should have it tuned with a SCT chip? It is going to cost 500.00 for the chip, tune, and dyno. Does a chip really help a 1989 mustang. The only thing they can tune is the timing and fuel pressure. The engine is a 306 with a F303 cam...
