Well my SCT-2 came in today so I installed my Steeda CAI, Magnaflow axle-back and loaded up the tune. These changes made a huuuge difference in the car! This is how the car should be from the factory! It feels like I gained at least 30 hp. There is no more hesitation now and the car will boil the rear tire from a stop. Rolling acceleration is just as impressive, when you floor it, it just goes! It pulls strong up to at least 5000 rpm and shifts at around 5800-6000. It feels as fast or faster than my '92 5.0. The Magnaflow sounds really good. I got the SCT-2 from Bamachips for only $365 and they did a great job on the tune. My next mods will definitely be a T-Lok and 3.73 gears.

Awsome !
I was looking at the exact same set up, I have the money in my hand ready to jump. I was just worried about warranty issues because of the retune.
How does the magnaflow sound ? Got a sound Clip ?

5800 is where the shifts are set at from the factory under WOT but it won't reach that totally because the factory's torque reduction and the way it backs off on the throttle when it gets close to the 6100 rpm's rev limiter.
Just a tune will help these vehicles out tremendously, even in 87 more as already seen. With the new torque values from SCT's tuning and then my own personal spark tables you will notice an entirely new driving feel and throttle response.
Thanks guy and just let me know if I can do anything else for you in the future!
Later Doug.

actually, thinking back on my post, taking the car to 6000 is no big deal, probably...you're only there for an instant and then you shift. if you were to operate the car at that rpm range for an exteneded period...i suspect you would be shopping for a new powerplant some time soon.
