Just be safe with the tune you get and make sure the timing isnt too advanced. Sadly i just lost my motor to a bad tune due to too much timing with the Jon Lund 93 aggressive tune. I had the same bolt on setup with, Steeda CAI, LTs, o/r x-pipe, and borla axlebacks. Sounded really mean like a mix of an exotic car with a deep muscle car thurst. I'm having the car rebulit with the new Aluminator motor but be warned about the tunes and even tho you want to run the most aggressive tune you can get, just think twice about it.

Why would you purchase more expensive headers with more restrictive flow than cheaper ones with better flow? Hince us telling you about the ARH headers among other brands.

So you have a Boss or a 5.0 with the 2 broken ringlands? which pistons 7 and 8?
Are you doing the motor yourself or a dealer? Also have u given thought to higher compression pistons to stay n/a? While you are in there are cams going in and Head work? Sorry all the questions? Where are you from? If you want to PM me I can give you some info about a great engine builder...

Yes the new 5.0, and true but just be careful where and what tune you get. Called ford racing and they told me alot of guys have burned holes in their pistons due to bad tuning and too much advanced timing.

The piston failure isn't a common problem these days. Tuners have got their tunes on lock down for the most part. For tunes, look at Evolution Performance. Tell them EVERYTHING about your car and they'll get you the best tune possible.
