elvism, Granatelli, Hypertech, SCT, F.A.S.T., all good companies, only SCT has something available for the 05 Stang GT right now. Steeda is a good company yes. I emailed Ford Racing about a week ago and haven't gotten a response back.

I wouldn't say so. My brother just showed me yesterday on another forum about this, another guy said it would be smarter and the best choice to get a programmer, then your dealer wouldn't find out (where as they would notice a new chip) and you would get about the same gains. The SCT programmer can get you ~15rwhp and 15rwtq, which isn't bad at all imo for $375. I'm interested in seeing what Granatelli comes up with though, I don't really like the fact of driving so far to an SCT tuner everytime I want a tune (which is only good for 3 tunes).

There will NEVER be a "Chip" for the 2005 Mustang. The current generation PCM systems cannot be "chipped". You have to download a completely new PCM program.
As nis350ztt said, as of today SCT is the only company who says they have a PCM programmer for the '05 Stang. Although I heard a 3rd hand story that someone got a SCT programmer & tried loading new software and his Mustang would NOT start after the re-flash. He had to re-load the orginal software (with great difficulty) so get his car to run agian. So maybe as of today NO ONE has a working programmer for the '05 Stang.

Diesels tend to make crazy amounts of hp and tq with ecu tuning. Gasoline engines...not so much. I'm not sure why that is, other than I assume it is poor tuning from the factory, which may be to reduce emissions. One of the largest gains i've seen was Technosquare's ECU reflash for the Evo 8, it gained 40hp.

M1, Did you dyno your car pre-Flowmaster? If so, what was it?

On top of that, a local dyno shop (with a Dynojet, vs. the Superflow at Flowmaster) is going to put the stock back ON, dyno it, tune it, dyno it, then Flowmaster plus tune and dyno. That should happen next week.
So we'll have lots of detailed before/after plus TWO Superflow vs Dynojet comparisons.
This should give all the internet bench racers some good fodder.

One overlooked component of the truck diesels producing such large gains with a chip or ecu program, is that the boost is usually cranked up on the turbo (provided it's an electronically controlled wastegate, or possibly vacuum depending on it's actuator). I've only seen really big gains on my turbo cars when 'chipped'. I did see a large gain on my naturally aspirated '97 M3 with the Dinan Stage 2 software and cold air intake alone, giving me 221rwhp with a car that was only rated at 240 at the crank from the factory. Using an assumption of 17% loss (probably less actually since it's a BMW and a 5-spd) I calculated new crank hp to be around 265-270, which is pretty impressive. This was on a Dyno-Jet. I still had the factory exhaust on the car and 56K miles. I think a good program could net the Mustang with a solid 25-35hp...but keep in mind that the Dinan software for the BMW's is only available at dealerships and was created with BMW. Aftermarket software will potentially be more compromised.
