The good news is that I should have my drag radials by next week, so no more roasting the street tires at the track.
Hmmm... maybe I should order a backup set of drag tires now; so I have them when I cook the first pair. hehehe

This goes out to all Automatic owners...Get rid of your Predator..if you have one....and get SCT from Alternative Auto!! Ask For LIDIO! I spent all summer messing with my tuner and differnt tunes and CAI's...I sold My predator,got a C&L and an SCT from Lidio...and i just cannot believe difference! My car is freaking tard now! Throttle response is just as if i had cable...i can incinerate my tires through second gear and chirp into 3rd!! Shifting is awesome...no more laggy shifts,no converter locking up before i hit 40 mph...stays in gear longer between shifts ...even at low speed! Pulls like crazy! Not bashing Predator tuners...but i feel they are more for the stick guys! The Automatic is a whole different beast! The Tranny controls this car...not the motor! When i first got Preadtor,CAI,and exhaust...i noticed a great improvement! But i still wasn't satisfied...and kept reading posts from others about Lidio and Doug(Bamachips) and they seemed to be getting much better results! I couldn't take the curiosity no more...and i switched! I AM SO HAPPY that i did! Lidio is sometimes hard to get a hold of...but when you do...you will be glad you did! Super guy! Knows alot! Take it from me...SCT and either Lidio or Doug...your choice! ![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)

Don you say in your mod that you have a 4.10 gear ? You can mod the auto trans ? Oo. i'm a total newbie for mechanic but i'm interested in that for the race track. Did it help ?

Well all i know is that i did the Predator,used canned tunes and custom tunes from two different people,cost me alot of money...and i wasn't really impressed! I won't mention who i used...but they were great to deal with and they did improve on what i had...but i knew there was more to be had! I don't have Dyno at my disposal...so all has to be on what i get in mail. Long story short...Lidios tune and the SCT just blew my mind....The car rocks now,i would never go back to stick...you can't shift this quick and hard,and be as consitent as an auto can. I need to do traction mods now because i can't take off hard or i'll blow tires off. TORQUE MANAGEMENT IS GONE!!!! HOORAY!

He didn't ask me for the computer code when I ordered it, is it required? or will his tunes work on all Mustang GT's with C&L's ?

Oh and congrats I sure hope you like it. It was a world of differend in the car.
Being in Germany I believe you did the right thing with getting the X2 abd either a tune from Lidio or Doug.

You guys are costing me $$$. :angry: I was happy
with my Predator until you guys started this AA and SCT X-2 with an automatic stuff. Have you been over to the AA site and read Lidio's Comments? I read it this afternoon. He slams what he calls mail order tunes and now he is doing that very same thing. I wonder what changed his mind? Could not be because he started selling them. Right? He flat says generic tunes are not good. All car not being the same.
Now I am doing what I said I would not do too. Not the first time I have had CROW for lunch.
Selling my Predator and purchasing his X-2 and cable. I am just tired of hearing about it and will experience it first hand. My tires need to be warmed up a little faster.
Perhaps I should not sell the Predator until I check it out. What do you think???

Many other companies sell tune and intake combinations without doing the number of hours he has done in running this specific combo week after week.
I understand that there are other tuners that have done brilliant jobs on multiple tuners and multiple intakes and I don't want to take away from them like Brent and Brad. Lidio is maybe just working and specializing in a specific niche in the tuning market.
