I know the car comes tuned from shelby, is there anyway, they can adjust the tune on the car at the dealership to maybe get you some more HP?

 

I know they can at places other than the dealership.

 

Dealership won't help you retune your car. Other speed shops will though, and you can probably get a few more HP out of it.

 

the car, doesnt actually come with the device does it? would i need to buy a different tuner? how would this work?

 

The car would not come with the device, no. Somewhere like www.bamachips.com or www.tillmanspeed.com or www.brenspeed.com can sell you a tuning device with tunes loaded onto it. You then pick one and load the tune into the car. It is the same as tuning a regular GT, except you already have a Cold Air Intake on the car.

 

okay, gotcha. Is it really worth the expensive of a tuner such as a predator or sct which costs close to 400.00. Do i really gain that much more, or is it only about 10 hp?

 

On a Shelby GT it would probably be about 10hp. On a standard GT, you can add a CAI and a tuner and get about 25-30hp. Since you already have the CAI, I would believe you may squeeze 10-15hp out of a more aggressive tune. The main advantage for you would be throttle response, and getting rid of the throttle lag/hang. Lag is when you push on the gas and it takes a split second to actually go. Hang is when you let off the gas and the rpm's don't drop immediately. I don't know how much those are an issue with the Shelby's, since they are retuned by Shelby.
