So I'm new to the whole tuning thing, so could someone give me the down and dirty explanation of how i could tune up the GT for cheap?

Sounds like 320rwhp with just a tune, pulleys, X-pipe, and maybe a couple of other bolt-ons.
Thank you Ford Motor Company!

real quick
Tune: maybe some hp, especially with cam timing, but most cars run fat after 30 -40 seconds anyway to prevent problems. Still good afr at anything less than a dyno pull or a high speed run.
Pulleys: Gonna be tough on this car, it can be done, but the crank pulley is huge, and the other pulleys can only physically get so big.
X pipe: The factory 2.5 inch exhaust has an"H" connector only about 4 inches long. you're going to have to be a pretty big believer in x-pipes to notice a difference.
The hp is gonna come from the intake, and it is going to need to be MUCH more clever than just a cone filter and some Taiwan Tubing.

When they put these cars on the dyno, how consistant are they with each other. For example if you tested 100 new 2005 mustangs would they all be the same hp give or take 1 or 2 horses or does each car vary more than that?

Well 2003-2004 Mach's vary from 260's to low-mid 280's hp and there could be as much as a 20lb torque variance as well from ~280's to low 300's.
Mine dyno'd at ~273hp, and ~293 tq. A good SCT flash could gain me as much as ~15-30 hp/tq to the wheels (as stated by Modular Depot), depending on numerous variables including turning "off" my Knock Sensors.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that the variances in Mach numbers is also due to different environmental conditions (Where, Temp, Humid., etc.) just to clarify.

Now, if I were to buy an aftermarket intake, would that void my warranty? Or would they look the other way?
I would like to keep my car almost stock except for:
- exhaust
- rims/tires
- possibly intake
I purchased the 7yr, full milage warranty. I know rims/tires and exhaust are not a big deal, and that reflash will void the warranty, but the intake?

im sure the intake will void the warranty. supposedly just the intake elbow and T/B change on the 99-04 GT's ford will try to void your warranty. if you are in good with the dealr and GM and have all the work done there. you might get them to hold up on the warranty

Wow that's a huge difference. What causes such a wide range of HP? Also did you mean that the mach1 varies more than a stock gt, or do they vary quite a bit too?
Thanks, Jason

with the oiled cotton & gauze filters like the K&N, there is a chance if the filter has some extra oil residue that coats the filament on the MAF sensor wire. If that sensor fails because of the intake, they will not honor the warranty on that claim.
I believe there is an aftermarket intake/filter out there that is not oiled, not sure myself.

If thats on mustang dyno, the numbers are acually even higher

But even if you took the same car to two different dynojets or two different mustang dynos, you will still get some variations.
The key is to compare apples to apples, i.e. compare two cars that have been dynoed on the same system.
Also it is important to use the same dyno when you are modifying your car so that you can precisely measure the changes.

If chevy can get 400 hp from a 6.0 liter.....
I really hope Ford does an SE 3v 4.6 with at least 50 more HP myself.

As far as ford tuning their new mustang to run a little on the rich side, engines have a tendency to last a little bit longer on the rich side, compared to lean. Lean cars will produce more power, but do not last as long. For example, when you install nitrous on a newer gt (not an 05) it is already running on the rich side, and there are companies that will gaurantee upwards of 150 shot of NOS. This is only possible because the car is already rich. If you take a car that is running lean (say an acura rsx type s) anything over a 50 shot of NOS will significantly shorten the engine life.
P.S. Lopers told me they would garuantee 100 shot of nitrous on my 01 gt, only heard of someplaces that will do 150 (complete NOSzle system from edelbrock).

Also, I don't understand why they would make this engine run rich from the factory. Usually cars run lean from the factory to keep emissions down and gas mileage up.
