Well I wanna say hello to all you Blue Oval guys!!
As the title says, I have been a die hard Mopar guy my whole life (and this is my FIRST no Mopar car!).....From what I hear you have a few of US Charger converts around here!!
I had a 2009 Daytona RT that wasn't cutting it for me, and making fast, was starting to get expensive......so I decided I was going to trade it in for a SRT8 Challenger! Some how my buddy talked me into test driving a 5.0 Mustang (this happened on Monday) and before I knew it, I was signing the paperwork over for my Daytona, and taking the keys for a Mustang!!
No regrets here, the speed is there, and at a fraction of the cost of a 392 Challenger!

Anyways while I'm here figure I'd throw this question out:
I have been going through this forum, as well as other Mustang Forums, and see that a big majority of the people are using the SCT Tuner! I have a Diablosport Trinity T-1000 that I was using on the charger, and with an update it should work on the Mustang!
Now I know the tuner is just the hardware, the actual tune is what counts...etc. The question is should I sell the Trinity and get a SCT or Keep the Trinity? Is there more support for the SCT tuners? or do I see alot of those around just because they are cheaper?

And lastly, what would you recommend for upgrades?
I do have a Airaid CAI, (On the way somewhere) Tuner (trying to decide if I should update the Trinity, or sell it for a SCT) RTR black wheels, and RTR front splitter (are in the plans, I hate the factory wheels on my car, and the splitter (needs to cover up a scratch that was put on the car pulling it out of the show room floor (dealer took 300 off the price...if I'm not mistaken that the price of the splitter!!) O and windows tints (a must on any car)

Any other cheapish upgrades would be nice!! (supercharger out of the question for now! LOL)

Any ways below are some pix of the Old ride, and the new ride!!!

Welcome to TMS. I love that Deep Impact Blue. Sorry, no suggestions on a tuner

tj@steeda

I can't speak for the masses ... but we use SCT exclusively. We have found their hardware and ease of use a great offering for consumers.

We can definitely help tune your car or add any items that you are looking for. Since you are new to the Mustang community ... check us out at steeda.com.

We have been in the industry since 1988 and we are an American owned and made company.

Best Regards,
TJ

Welcome! Beautiful car! And yes those wheels have to go! The RTRs are a nice choice btw

Fudge

OK thanx, well in that case, I will have to sell the Trinity, and I'm going to get the SCT Tuner, since seems like that's what everyone uses!!!
Yeah I love the RTR wheels, now..... anyone want a set of ugly wheels?
LOL
Thanx!

Fudge

Just thinking about the tuner, is there anyone that uses the diablesport tuner?
Also to the Steeda post above, what is the reasoning behind using only the SCT tuner?

stupidgenius36

I think American Muscle just recently started using diablosport in addition to SCT. But SCT is, by far, more widely supported.

Fudge

OK just wondering!
SCT doesn't make a tuner that will show my 0-60, 1/4 mile times, etc do they?

Oops wrong thread

stupidgenius36

I think maybe the livewire ts has those features. Or try the one that links with your phone. You can also get apps on your phone that will give you that info. I use Torque.

Fudge

I did look at the sct iPhone tuner!!
I'm not sure how I feel with my whole life dependent on my phone though!! Lol
Now if I lose my phone (I've been know for doing that) is my car marrow to the phone or the device that plug into the car?

stupidgenius36

It's probably married to your login for the program, or something similar. So if you lose your phone, you just redownload the program and log in again. Note: I do not own this device. I'm just saying the process is probably something similar.

Fudge

I understand!
I will most likely not cause myself any issues and either go with the SCT Livewire or just the x3.

Welcome! I was behind a burnt orange Daytona yesterday going up my school parking deck. He parked on the end closest to the elevator and I went a little farther and parked on the other end by myself. When I came back to my car I saw that some car had backed plum up against his rear bumper and left the car there still touching the Daytona. It made me sick seeing that.

Fudge, welcome to TMS

I just ordered an SCT tuner from American Muscle, almost ordered one from Steeda but decided I liked the Bama tune / tuner price / CAI package pricing better than the Steeda set-up, and Airaid offers a free rain shield so that water won't drip on the CAI filter through the hood vent

Stevedotmil

Welcome to the forum. You are going to love this car.

Fudge

O you have keyed the car that would dare touch a Daytona like that!!
LOL
Yeah that's why I'm the A-Hole that always parks at the very end if te patking log at an angle!!
Thank you, and you mentioning CAIs again reminded me: what is the point of the (resonator tube) I think that's what it's called on the intakes? What eould happen if it gets removed?

Gabe

Ford calls it a sound tube, it brings in intake sound into the cabin for the driver's enjoyment, lol

There are delete kits out there, I have one from CoolTech, I think it was $14-$15 shipped, some have gotten caps/plugs from Home Depot/Lowe's

steven46746

Yep bought mine there, looks great!

Glenn

WelcomeTo TMS and congrats on the new ride. Don't know if you care about your warranty but I'm pretty sure it will be gone if you install a tune. Also I am sure Steeda will give you a great deal on a tuner and tunes along with any other parts you are looking for. just find your best advertised price and give them a call. From what I have heard/read their tunes give the best bang for the buck. I would also return the airaid and get the steeda intake more hp and tq
